I've enjoyed some of Bendis' pre-DC work, so I know he can do better than this. I will giveJustice League Vs The Legion of Super-Heroes #6 two stars, but they're entirely for the lovely art.

Derek: Its impact is already obsolete thanks to the events of Justice League#75. I doubt anyone's buying this for the writing. Perhaps, for the art. Or perhaps in the belief that this series is required for fully understandingDark Crisis. However, I suspect it could be easily skipped without impacting their enjoyment of that event.

Despite Bendis' attempt to get the story back on track, it seems like a lost cause at this point.

If you're buying this series, ask yourself why. Based on this issue, it's not going to get any better and like Event Leviathan before it, it's impact will be obsolete before it's completed.

This series may be Bendis' swansong for his DC work. And it's somehow appropriate, as it exemplifies the main problem with Bendis' work for DC. Bendis is good at coming up with ideas. But he has no filter to tell the good ideas apart from the bad ones. And he seems to have lost the ability to do anything with these ideas.

And with Superman #28, Brian Michael Bendis' time as writer of the title comes to a close. Although, there were some bright spots in that run, I hope the next creative team takes a good hard look at the state Bendis has left the Superman mythos in. Bendis ignored the old adage "if it's not broke, don't fix it", and now the incoming creative team actually needs to do some fixing.

Justice League #74 was emblematic of Brian Michael Bendis' entire run on the title. Bendis is great at producing ideas with a lot of potential, but he often has trouble realizing that potential. I think the main problem was that he had trouble remembering that this title was about the Justice League first and foremost. However, I do wish him well on his other projects. Hopefully, they will work out better for him.

Derek: Justice League Vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes #1 has me feeling somewhat ambivalent. This title has a lot of potential, but I don't know if Bendis' story is going to realize it. He has done some good writing in the past, but his recent work doesn't give me a lot of faith that he will again. On the other hand, at least it looks nice, thanks to Godlewski's art.

Despite all the flaws in the story, there still is the makings of a good story in there somewhere, so I hold out some thin hope that Bendis can still squeeze a moderately satisfying conclusion. But it's sure not going to go down as a classic Superman saga. But thanks to the gorgeous artwork, at least it's nice to look at.

Blue Beetle has been a fun book to read, but the current storyline seems a bit underwhelming due to the absence of Ted from the book. Unfortunately, with the end of the series looming, Ted's return in a couple of months will come too late to put this book back on track again.

I found this issue to be a mixed bag. The most interesting part was the conversation between Batman and Molly, and the possible Rebirth hints being dropped. But other than a shining moment for Simon, the fight against Shirak was rather forgettable.

Despite the problems I have with this issue, it still is an interesting premise that promises for an exciting conclusion once the League and their future children face off against Sovereign.

Despite some flaws in the story, this is still an exciting and thought-provoking adventure. I look forward to how the storyline plays out in the upcoming issues.

There is the makings of a great Justice League story in here, but it just seems off somehow. Some story elements are confusing, while others seem contradictory with what else is going on in the DCU. Also, it seems hard to care too much about children of the League that we barely know and that come from a future that could never happen.

This storyline had all the right ingredients for an epic Justice League story that would have been fitting for Hitch's final bow as the Justice League writer, but instead it fell flat. Let's hope that the new creative team fares better.

Justice League #73 looks stunning, but unfortunately the writing holds little depth. Brian Michael Bendis is an idea machine. However, he frequently is unable to do much with his good ideas. He still has one last issue left, so maybe he might be able to save this story in the conclusion. Overall, I'd rate this issue rather low, but I have to add points for the great work of the art team.

This issue is a slight improvement, but mostly just more of the same. I also found it disappointing that Bendis didn't follow up on the Triplicate Girl subplot. There is definitely the makings of a good story here, but I remain doubtful that Bendis is up to the job. But if he can focus on the story, and not inundate us with an overabundance of pointless dialogue, then this actually could be a good story.

Derek: I totally agree. There has been a slight improvement, but it's mostly just more of the same. I also found it disappointing that Bendis didn't follow up on the Triplicate Girl subplot. There's definitely the makings of a good story here, but I remain doubtful that Bendis is up to the job. If he can focus on the story, and not inundate us with an overabundance of pointless dialogue, then this could actually be a good story.

Shazam #14 marks the end of an ambitious storyline where Geoff Johns bit off a bit more than he could chew. Extending the metaphor, Johns did finally manage to swallow it down. But it proved not to be as satisfying a meal as readers wanted. But don't worry, Jeff Loveness is back next issue to provide us a the actual series finale as dessert.

Despite a number of serious flaws, Superman #11 is still an exciting and enjoyable read. I quite like Bendis' story, but once his tenure as the chief Superman writer comes to an end, his successors will likely need to do a continuity cleanup to undo the mess he leaves behind.

VerdictI don't think Brian Michael Bendis is a bad writer. I have liked his work on other comics and much of his writing in this current iteration of Superman. However, I have strong reservations about many of the choices he has taken with the direction of Superman. I don't feel that the story he has given us so far has justified these changes. Hopefully, he will wrap up this current Rogol Zaar story soon and bring the title back on track with a new story arc.

Bendis' Superman stories are very hit-and-miss. When he's good, he's fantastic, but some of his stories can be a bit of a slog to read. The parts of with Lois and the gorgeous art save Superman #21 from being the latter. Hopefully, Superman's upcoming encounter with Mongul will be more exciting.

Bendis' run on Superman has been something of a mixed bag for me. Some of his ideas have truly been great. But some of the changes he has made in service to his story have been horrible. I really love the introduction of the United Planets. But Bendis could have, and should have, accomplished this without questionable retcons and characters acting dramatically out of character.

Since the start of Bendis' run on Superman, the writing has been all over the place. Some issues have been great and others… well not so great. Superman #24 seems to fall somewhere in the middle. There's the makings of an excellent story in here, but somehow it comes out as good, but not great.

The main story is action-packed and has me eagerly awaiting the next installment. The backup story is also starting to pick up steam and hopefully will keep pace with the main feature as it continues.

The main story is another exciting and action-packed chapter in Bruce's quest to get Harvey cured, and has me eagerly waiting for next month's installment. The backup story is getting interesting too, but still isn't as engaging as the main feature.

It was a hell of a ride, and an interesting examination of the relationship between Batman and Two-Face. It also was interesting to see a Batman road trip story rather than the typical tale set wholly in Gotham.

The title continues to hold my interest. Although it seems that Batman has thwarted Freeze's scheme, I am sure that there is more to the story yet. And I am eager to see how Duke will escape death from the explosion he and Batman have triggered.

Despite a weak chapter in the backup storyline, the main story was strong and deepened the mystery of this strike force that is attacking Batman's villains.

The main story is a fitting conclusion to the "Ends of the Earth" story arc, bringing the story to an enjoyable and satisfying conclusion. However, I am ambivalent about the backup story. I don't quite understand what's going on with Duke Thomas, however I am hopeful that things will clear up as his story continues.

Even though the backup story is a bit of a letdown, the main story more than makes up for it. This has been an exciting series that has told some unique Batman stories and I am sorry that it will be coming to an end after the next issue.

The issue certainly fulfilled its function of wrapping up the story and setting the stage for the relaunch under the Rebirth banner.

A solid issue, carrying on the strong start of the Rebirth special. It will be interesting to see how Terrys attempt at bringing the Jokerz down from the inside progresses.

It's a fun story, with no drop in momentum from the Rebirth special. I look forward to seeing more of Terry's portrayal of Trey Malone.

As is typical with the Rebirth titles, we get a strong mix of the classic and the new in this issue. Terry has returned as Batman, but he has to contend with more people knowing his secret identity. Even the costume is a mix of old and new. So far, this seems to be a winning recipe for DC.

Batman Beyond is looking alot like the classic version again now that both Terry and Bruce are back, and the return of the Joker certainly promises exciting stories to come.

Even though Batman Beyond doesn't seem overtly connected to the Rebirth storyline, it seems to be exemplifying the Rebirth ethos. It is so far proving to be one of DC's better titles.

This is another shocker in a sequence of surprising returns. Jurgens certainly knows how to throw a curve at his readers. I'm eager to see what else he's got up his sleeve.

Another good issue in this great series. Definitely give it a read if you haven't already.

This is a solid setup for the upcoming new series. It recaps Terry's origin and sets up the new status quo. DC has once again succeeded in returning classic elements to the current continuity of the character.

A solid start for the return of Batwoman's solo title. It reaffirms that Batwoman is still the same character that fans are familiar with from her previous two series, but also shows that she will be taken in new directions rather than just retreading old ground.

DC seems to be having success after success with the Rebirth titles and Blue Beetle is no exception. Just as with the other books, we get the best of the classic and the New 52, as embodied by the team of Ted and Jaime.

This is another fun issue in DCs Rebirth line. DCs Rebirth philosophy is working well with Blue Beetle, mixing together the best of the Ted Kord and Jaime Reyes eras of Blue Beetle history.

The action is hitting high gear now, and I eagerly await to see next issues confrontation with Doctor Fate. This title holds some of Rebirth's most tantalizing secrets, and it's a pleasure to scour each issue for more hints.

High powered guest stars, Rebirth hints, and tons of action " there's not much more you could wish for.

This issue serves as a promising start for the new writer, but it remains to be seen if he can maintain the level of quality established by the outgoing writers. Hopefully he will rise to the challenge and make his own mark on the title, so I will remain cautiously optimistic about its future.

Despite these drawbacks, it still is a decent read. I wish Sebela had been allotted a longer run to show what he could do with the characters. This storyline is good, but the spectre of the title's impending end gives it a bit of a sombre feel that diminishes the fun " and Blue Beetle is a title that should be fun.

The imminent end of the title casts a pall over the issue, which otherwise would be an exciting chapter of the series. Hopefully Ted and Jaime will return to the DCU soon and not linger in limbo for long.

This is an engaging story, and leaves me waiting to see how its resolved next issue. Also, I will be eagerly waiting to see how Khalids status quo will be left as he moves towards the Rebirth era.

This is a solid finale to the current adventures of Khalid Nassour as Doctor Fate, but it leaves us with a lot of questions that hopefully will be answered soon elsewhere in the DC Universe.

Overall a solid issue that sets up the challenges that Barry will be facing in the months ahead.

This issue continues the good work that has been done in this title so far. The Flash is definitely one of the standout titles in DC's Rebirth line.

Overall, this is a good first issue. If the writer and artists can maintain the quality shown in this initial outing, then Green Lanterns will be an enjoyable series to follow.

Overall, this was a solid set-up issue for a new series. I look forward to seeing if the quality holds up as the series progresses.

There's definitely the makings of a great Justice League Story in this issue. Hopefully, the subsequent chapters of this storyline will realize that potential, but we shall have to wait and see.

It seems to me that the best way to appreciate this storyline, and perhaps Hitch's entire run on this title is to take it as separate from the rest of the DCU. It doesn't do very well in lining up with the rest of the DCU, but it makes a decent story when taken on its own.

This and the previous issue of Justice League have proven to be an exciting interlude during the changeover of creative teams. I can hardly wait to see what the new creators have in store for us in the upcoming issues.

The two stories in Justice League #66 are wildly different in terms of quality. Ram V's Justice League Dark backup is fully deserving of a 5/5. However, I'd only give Bendis' main story a 2/5. I hope that Bendis' story starts to improve soon, but at least the backup story is great read.

If I were able to rate the two stories in Justice League #67 separately, I would give Bendis' main story a rating of 2/5 and Ram V's backup a full 5/5. Kudos are due to Ram V and the artists of both stories. But c'mon Bendis. You're capable of better than you're delivering here. Either turn this around or hand over the reins to someone else.

Justice League #72 is very much like other opening chapters in Bendis stories. A number of ideas are introduced. Some have strong potential, but others are problematic. It now remains to be seen if Bendis can deliver on the former while skirting the latter.

The Justice League 2022 Annual, like most of Bendis' run has some problems. However, it is one of Bendis' better efforts on the title so far. While it would be nice if he could maintain this higher level of quality going forward, the matter is moot considering that he will be moving on from the title. Hopefully, his Justice League Vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes miniseries will be more like this annual than his work on the main series.

There is great chemistry between Dick and Damian, hearkening back to their time as Batman and Robin. It will be interesting to see how his relationship with Shawn will develop.

Both stories were strong, but I found the Boomerang story a bit more compelling than the El Diablo story. However, both are interesting tales, and I look forward to seeing how they progress over the course of the mini-series.

Yes, it's a fill-in issue, but still enjoyable, especially as an homage to the eighties comics I remember from my youth. Superman remains one of DC's best titles.

This issue is a fun look at the Titans. I admit that I haven't been following this series until recently, but maybe that was a mistake. It's an interesting and amusing diversion from the regular serious interpretations of the Teen Titans.

A solid start to the miniseries. It introduces (or reintroduces) the main characters and sets up the motivations for the upcoming conflict between the hunters and vampires. However, I will be sure to watch the original movie before next month's installment.

All in all a fun issue. I hope we get to see more of these team-ups of Superman and Lex Luthor. It adds a fascinating level of complexity to the relationship between Superman and his one time arch-foe.

Definitely a strong start to a new series. There's a lot packed in this issue, but it all fits together to tell a compelling story. I can't wait to see where Batman and Two-Face's journey takes us.

The main story was great as always, and the backup storyline is back on track. Both stories have ramped up the tension as they head into their finales. We readers are in for a treat.

This issue provides a unique look at Alfred's past contrasted against Batman's present. This is shaping up to be a great Batman story. The backup story seems a bit less exciting, but still is a solid story.

I am loving the main story and its unique focus on the relationship between Bruce and Alfred. The backup story still has potential, but I feel it made a major misstep in its portrayal of Batman's abilities as a crime fighter.

After more than twenty years, Busiek is still bringing us great stories of real human drama set in a surreal world. This issue is a great example of what sets Astro City apart from the other superhero books.

This issue tries something rare for Astro City by giving us a sequel to an earlier story, which allows for a deeper exploration of how people cope with the fallout from living lives upset by extraordinary events. The subsequent chapters promise to give us a poignant story of loss and healing.

In Batman #116, Tynion has ramped up his story to fever pitch and now we're ready for him to bring it to a conclusion. I can't deny that Tynion's story has been exciting, but I'm not entirely comfortable with the course he has set the Gotham books on. Hopefully, Williamson and Tamaki can get things back on course after Fear State wraps up.

Some readers may find Batman being used in feel-good Christmas tales to be somewhat sappy, but I find it a refreshing break from the bleakness that Batman is typically faced with. Maybe the stories are a little weaker story wise than the typical Batman fare, but it's nice to see that even the Batman gets a break from the doom and gloom once in a while.

VerdictThis is a solid first issue that does the job of introducing the characters and starts giving us a feel of how they work together. This is a promising start for a new take on a classic concept and could easily become one of DC's star titles

VerdictBatman and the Outsiders is an intriguing concept – a Batman book where Batman doesn't actually take part in the action (not yet, anyway). While, I am somewhat reserving judgment on the title for now, I think Bryan Hill has made a good start on this reinterpretation of a classic DC super team.

It's hard to get a feel for where the story is leading, but Hill has given it a running start. And Dexter Soy's outstanding art is a perfect fit for the book. If they can keep up this level of quality, then this book has the potential to be one of the frontrunners in DC's lineup.

So far, Bryand Hill has given us an enticing introduction to the new Outsiders, which has been beautifully drawn by Dexter Soy. Despite the fact that the opening story arc seems to be getting a bit overlong, it still is one of the fresher titles in DC's current lineup.

It appears that Ra's al Ghul is presenting a challenge to Batman and the Outsiders that could tear the team apart. It will be interesting to see how they will overcome this threat and if the team will come through the conflict intact.

I have been enjoying Hill's take on Batman and the Outsiders. I look forward to seeing how they overcome the machinations of Ra's Al Ghul, and to see what shape the team is in after the dust settles.

Batman and the Outsiders #9 makes it clear that there's a rocky future ahead for the team. Even if they vanquish Ra's al Ghul, they are unlikely to emerge from the conflict unscathed. And the damage to the team's unity might never be fully healed.

Batman and the Outsiders incorporates enough of the original title's elements to feel like a true successor to the original. But it also includes plenty of new elements, making it more than a rehash of its earlier incarnations. Bryan Hill has produced a captivating reimagination of the Outsiders for the post-Rebirth era.

Bryan Hill has given us an intriguing new take on the Outsiders , but he has kept enough elements of the classic version that it doesn't feel like an entirely new concept. I have been enjoying his take on Batman and the Outsiders, and I look forward to seeing what Hill has planned for the team.

Bryan Hill's initial storyline started off somewhat slowly, but it's moving ahead full steam now. I look forward to seeing Batman and the Outsiders climactic clash with Ra's Al Ghul as Hill's story moves closer to its conclusion.

Despite the somewhat misleading cover, the story is a solid one that gives adds some depth to both Katana and Black Lightning. It also makes me curious to see what the changes for Tatsu that Hill is hinting at. It is clear that some interesting adventures lie ahead for the team.

The story is still going strong, and the revelation that Bruce is still alive is an unexpected bombshell. The title was doing okay without him, but his return would make it even better.

The title feels like a true continuation of the cartoon. I have to say that bringing Bruce back has revitalized the series.

Despite the absence of the title character, we still get a great story focusing on the female characters, especially Batgirl, a great addition to the future Bat-Family.

Bernard Chang did a stellar job on this issue, giving us an exciting story with a unique structure and skillful art. If this issue is any indication, DC should consider giving him further opportunities to write.

Batman Beyond does a great job of incorporating elements of the original Batman Beyond cartoon with elements from the current-day DCU into exciting adventures of Batman. Oddly enough, the one DC book set in the future in some ways seems the most in tune with DC's history.

Batman Beyond is a fun title that nostalgically recalls the Batman Beyond cartoon, but also builds on the foundation of the show, carrying the story forward. It's almost like getting extra seasons past the cancellation of the show.

Batman beyond has done a stellar job of both returning the book to a state approximating the original cartoon, while also adding to the mythos. The best thing about this series is that it feels like a continuation of the Batman Beyond cartoon, rather than an alternative take on it. The cartoon didn't really end, it lives on in comic book form.

This title is a real pleasure for fans of the original Kids' WB cartoon. It's almost as if the series had been brought back from cancellation for a fourth season.

I've really been enjoying the Rebirth version of the title but I have long felt that the one thing missing from the Batman Beyond mythos was a Robin, and Matt was the obvious choice. I hope that this sticks, and that Matt is allowed to continue his career as the Robin of the future.

The one thing that Batman Beyond has been lacking is for Terry to have his own Bat-Family. The addition of a Robin is the logical first step towards rectifying this. This issue could be as important to Batman Beyond as the introduction of the original Dick Grayson Robin was in the Golden Age Batman comics.

It was great to see Rebirth bringing Batman Beyond back to a status quo that closely resembled the original cartoon incarnation, but it's even more exciting to see the mythos evolving and expanding. And what better addition could there be than a new Robin?

Batman Beyond is definitely a must for fans of the original cartoon, but it's also a fascinating exploration of what might happen after Bruce hands over the identity to an eventual successor. It's great to see DC continuing the story.

When Batman Beyond originally appeared as a cartoon, I wasn't terribly enthused with the idea. Someone other than Bruce Wayne as Batman? So, I was only an occasional viewer. But the reading the comics, especially since the return of Terry has brought me around to being a Batman Beyond fan. It may or may not show the ‘true' future of the Batman family, but it makes for a damn exciting premise for a different look at the Batman mythos. And this issue clearly exemplifies that.

Honestly, this title has been a revelation to me. The idea of someone other than Bruce Wayne as Batman shouldn't work, but Jurgens deftly manages to make Terry's story nearly as compelling as his predecessor's, giving us some damn fun stories along the way.

This particular iteration of the Batman Beyond title started by bringing the status quo back to nearly the same as the cartoon. But the title has just used that as a starting point. I love that the series is moving forward and evolving from that point. The series has brought back a lot of the tone and heart of the original animated series, but keeps moving the story forward into new directions.

Batman Beyond is still one of the most interesting of the Bat-Family of books. Part of the draw is that it is decoupled from the continuity of the main DCU, so no character is safe from being killed or having their status quo permanently affected. And with the Joker bent on reprising his triumph for A Death in the Family, Matt's future looks to be rather grim.

Many titles have their ups and downs, but Dan Jurgens has managed to keep the quality of Batman Beyond consistently good. There have been many incarnations of the comic so far, but I believe that in the future, DC readers will consider Jurgens run as the hallmark era of Batman Beyond.

Overall, this was a brilliant follow-up to The Killing Joke and A Death In The Family, and a fitting conclusion to the never-ending battle between Batman and the Joker. It certainly was overdue for Dick to make an appearance. Hopefully, he and Elainna will at least make occasional appearances in the future. I also can't wait to see how this encounter will affect Bruce's relationships with the rest of the Bat-Family.

This issue was a somewhat sad, but realistic epilogue to “The Final Joke”. Although it seems that Matt's tenure as Robin is over, Terry's adventures as Batman will continue. And with the lingering threat of Harley Quinn looming, he might wish he still had a Robin to assist him. Jurgens continues to deliver a fascinating extension of the Batman Beyond saga.

Dan Jurgens has a good feel for the Batman Beyond mythos and has consistently delivered a title that feels like a true continuation of the cartoon. Very often such books don't feel like they are canon stories (and often aren't), but this iteration of the title feels like a true successor to the cartoon.

VerdictDan Jurgens has managed something unique with Batman Beyond. He has given us a series that seems both connected to the wider comics universe while also feeling like a continuation of the cartoon as well. Never before have we seen such a complete merging between the DCU version of a series and its counterpart from another media, pleasing comic and cartoon fans alike.

Batman Beyond may be set in the future, but Jurgens keeps it connected to Batman's rich history. Not only does he keep it connected to the wider DC comics universe, but also manages to make it a true continuation of the cartoon.

VerdictJurgens' take on Batman Beyond has been great fun, and much more satisfying than DC's earlier attempts to carry on the story. This has given me a desire to rewatch the original cartoon again, and as luck would have it, a remastered Blu-Ray set has just been announced. This is a great time to be a Batman Beyond fan!

Batman Beyond #38 is another solid issue from Dan Jurgens, with some stunning art from Sean Chen and Sean Parsons. Trying to solve the mystery of Batwoman has been a fun exercise, and I hope to see if my guess is correct before long. I look forward to seeing how she handles her first major battle with Blight in the upcoming issues.

Batman Beyond #39 showcases the future Batwoman, proving her to be an interesting new addition to the Bat-family. Jurgens is not only doing a great job at capturing the feel of the original cartoon, but also at expanding the Batman Beyond mythos.

Batman Beyond is a delight for readers who were fans of the original cartoon. Very often titles that spin out of a movie or TV series are rather forgettable. However, Jurgens makes this title feel like an organic continuation of the original. The animated series truly lives on, just in a different medium.

Batman Beyond #43 is a great jumping-on point for new readers, establishing a new status quo and introducing a new threat. Hopefully Elainna will soon be back in action as Batwoman. Terry is going to need all the help he can get against the threat of Zeh-Ro and the League of Assassins.

Batman Beyond #46 once again demonstrates why DC was wise to make him the caretaker of the Batman Beyond universe. Jurgens' writing shows a respect for the original source material, but also isn't afraid to further expand the mythos. This title consistently proves to be a worth continuation of the original cartoon series.

Blue & Gold #5 is another fine issue of Dan Jurgens' highly entertaining buddy story. Booster and Blue Beetle are two of DC's best characters, but they are criminally underused. It's great that Jurgens has brought them back, even if it's just for an eight-issue miniseries. Hopefully, this series will lead to further appearances of these heroes in other DCU titles.

This issue raises a lot of questions, but gives few answers. This in itself is not a bad thing, as it's raising suspense, which plays against the promise of next issue's revelations. I eagerly look forward to seeing what that issue will tell us about Jaime and Ted.

This issue was a fun look at the DC's Blue Beetle history, but it still leaves a lot unsaid. I hope this is merely an appetizer and that DC is planning on giving us the full story soon.

At first, I didn't think this would be one of my favourite series, but I should have realized that with Giffen involved, that it would be something special. Lesson learned.

This title just keeps getting better and better. I was never terribly excited about Jaime's adventures in the pre-Flashpoint and New 52 runs of Blue Beetle, but the Rebirth run is one of my favourite titles.

Jaime Reyes as the Blue Beetle has generally been well received, but this title has added an element the title lacked: a sense of legacy. Plus, many readers bemoaned the loss of Ted Kord. This title truly gives us the best of both worlds by giving us both Jaime and Ted, and they work together better as a team than they do as solo heroes.

I'll admit that I found the previous Blue Beetle titles a bit boring, but this title is anything but. Giffen and DeMatteis have made Blue Beetle an interesting and exciting character again. As such, it definitely fulfills the Rebirth mandate to make reading DC's comics fun again.

I hope the rumours of Blue Beetle's cancellation aren't true, as I feel this title is just starting to hit its stride. Here's a suggestion for the DC: take a cue from Green Lanterns and change the title to Blue Beetles with both Ted and Jaime as a duo.

Even if the title was cut short, it was a fun run. It's somewhat disappointing that it never quite realized the claim from the early issues that "Together they are the Blue Beetle." Hopefully, neither Ted nor Jaime will linger long in comic book limbo before they are brought back in another title.

This issue gives us a fun and exciting first look at Jaime and Ted's adventures. If Giffen and Kolins can maintain the quality shown here, then Blue Beetle will be another success for DC's Rebirth initiative.

Like the other DC/Hanna Barbera crossovers, this book is a fun read, with a large dose of nostalgia, especially for children of the 70s. It also provides a humorous and thought-provoking look at a serious issue that has dominated the news in recent months. This special is definitely well worth reading.

I generally love these Hanna Barbera crossovers, some more than others. Superman/Top Cat is one of these better ones. Not only does it strike a nostalgic chord for me, but it's a fun, entertaining story " plus I'm an unrepentant cat person. I hope that we will see Top Cat return the next time there is a DC/Hanna Barbera crossover event.

With a list of writers like King, Bendis, Snyder, Tynion, and Williamson all in a single issue (not to mention some great art) – and only for 25 cents. It's the bargain of the year. Don't miss this early peek at DC's summer events.

On the whole, the stories are good, and the book does deliver a healthy dose of holiday cheer to get readers in the mood for the festive season. It also gives readers a unique chance to see a wide selection of characters from several different creative teams in a single title.

This was a great issue that cements Khalid's place in the DC Universe as Doctor Fate. If it had been the final issue, it would have served as a fine send off.

Not only is this a solid story in itself, we are starting to see the Flash returning to the core characteristics that make him great: honesty, decency, optimism, and the pure joy he has in helping people both as a superhero and as a police scientist.

The Rebirth ethos is evident inthis issue, even if the events are tangential to the Rebirth storyline " not just in Barry's costume, but a generally more upbeat tone. Barry is at his core one of DC's more upbeat and optimistic characters, and his return to that status is refreshing.

This was a great issue. The revelation of Godspeed's identity is surprising, but fits the way the character has been portrayed since his introduction. I love that we get a few more hints about DC Rebirth. Keep them coming, DC!

This series continues to impress, and admirably sets up the upcoming finale of this first arc. Godspeed has brought Barry to a pretty low point, but already Barry is recovering and ready to enter the final round against Godspeed.

It's clear with this issue thatTheFlash is central to the Rebirth storyline. Not only do we get some hints at the possible return of the Justice Society, but the idea of Barry as a beacon of hope and optimism is reflective of his classic role in the DC Universe. Reaffirming this idea, brings the character back to his core, which is the stated mission of the Rebirth storyline.

Once again, we see that DC is reclaiming a lot of the hope and optimism that is at the core of Barry Allen. Barry has had to go through a lot of tragedy, but at the core he's a bright and hopeful character. This reflects the central theme of Rebirth which is seeking to do the same for the DCU in general.

This issue is a very sweet Christmas storythat allows us a bit of a breather from the heavy action of the first few months of the series. Also, it allows some of the basic optimism of the title character to shine through. And we get to see these two characters move closer to their destiny to be together.

A veryenjoyable issue. Once again, this title follows the Rebirth ethos of reminding us of DC's past, while moving the story forward in a new direction.

The return of the Rogues does a lot to make the book feel like the classic comics. Joshua Williamson has done a great job of bringing the Flash back to his classic roots, and pitting him against the Rogues takes this even further.

Seeing Barry in action against the Rogues hearkens back to the classic days of the silver and bronze age stories. Williamson's take on the Flash gives me the same thrill I had when I would read The Flash as a kid in the 70s.

Once again, we see DC's Rebirth ethos of bringing back the classic while moving forward playout. This issue makes it clear that the Rogues, who are staple Flash villains, have returned as a major thorn in the Flash's side, but that they are now branching out into the deeper and darker world of organized crime. This should make for some interesting challenges for the Flash to overcome

The inclusion of Captain Boomerang hearkens back to the classic silver age stories where Barry battled him. But Boomerang's status as a member of the Suicide Squad is being built upon, instead of being retconned away. This is keeping in line with the DC Rebirth ethos of recapturing the classic feel, but keeping the story moving forward.

A great issue with an important turning point in the relationship between the Flash and his protg. Add to this a classic Flash villain and the setup for the upcoming Flash/Batman crossover, and you have the recipe for a truly memorable Flash story.

This issue showcased Barry and Iris' relationship, and gave us a chance to see Iris shine as an investigative reporter. Although Barry may be headed for some dark days soon, he remains one of the brightest characters in the DC Universe.

The Flash continues to be one of my favourite titles, especially with the increased drama as Barry balances keeping Iris safe by hiding his secret life against his desire to be open and honest with her. Also, I will be eager to see how Wally fares in his first solo encounter against the Reverse-Flash, who is one of Barry's deadliest villains.

It's becoming clearer that both The Flash and Zoom figure prominently in the Rebirth mystery. Will Zoom's memories of the pre-Flashpoint universe be key in restoring some of that history? The Flash continues to be a cornerstone of the Rebirth saga.

The Flash remains one of my favourite Rebirth titles. It also is one of the core titles to watch for hints at the overarching Rebirth story. I eagerly await each new issue so I can dive right into Barry's adventures as the Flash.

The Flash is really starting to feel like the Flash comics I read as a kid in the 70s. This really reminds me of the fun and excitement that comics used to have. The DC Rebirth ethos is really paying off for longtime fans of Barry Allen's Flash.

Although Barry has it tough right now, the added drama makes for great reading. The Flash is one of the titles I tear into first as soon as I get ahold of it because I have to find out the latest development in Barry's chaotic life.

Things just keep getting worse for Barry, but it makes for great reading. I eagerly await each issue and have to read it immediately to find out what's happening to Barry.

As much as I hate to see the crap Barry is having to put up with, I can't deny that it makes for compelling reading, and this issue is no exception.

It is apparent that there is a battle going on between positivity and negativity going on in Barry's soul, which reflects the war between those forces that seems to be happening in the wider DCU. The Rebirth saga seems to be building to something big, and I'm betting that Barry will be in the thick of it.

This issue raises several questions, but it suitably sets up the action for next issue's battle against Barry's newly minted foe, Negative Flash. It promises to be an epic battle that shouldn't be missed.

Barry is still working on getting his life back in order, but he still has a lot of trouble ahead. But Barry's optimistic view of life is shining through, demonstrating his place as the heart of the DC Universe.

A great issue of a great series. Williamson and Porter have managed to recapture the same magic I remember from reading the adventures of the Flash when I was a kid.

The Flash was one of the cornerstones of DC's Rebirth era, and seems to be one of their strongest titles as the DCU moves beyond Rebirth. Hopefully we will see Barry back with Iris to fully restore the title to its classic greatness.

Barry may finally be getting his life back on track, but that doesn't mean that life will be easy for him. It appears that Barry is in for the fight of his life against Grodd and his allies in the upcoming battle. The Flash continues to be a standout title in DC's lineup.

This is a thrilling storyline and I can't wait to see how it continues to develop. Next issue should be harrowing as Barry will have to face four of his Speed Force protgs, who are now mind-controlled by Grodd.

Williamson has given us another top-notch story, and Duce's art beautifully captures the highly kinetic adventures of DC's premier speedster. The Flash always goes on the very top of the pile whenever I get a new stack of comics.

It's hard for me to pick a favourite title out of DC's lineup considering all the great stuff they're putting out. But I would definitely place The Flash in my top two or three. Williamson has re-established Barry Allen as a linchpin of the DC Universe.

Overall this title has been high quality, but this stands out as one of the better issues because it shows Barry once again finding the resolve to stop dallying and move his life forward. As a speedster Barry is much better served by moving forward than by running in place. I look forward to see where the Force Quest takes him and Iris in the upcoming issues.

The Force Quest storyline is paying off so far. Finally, we are seeing Barry stepping outside of his comfort zone and taking charge of his life and actively pursuing a goal. I can hardly wait to see what Barry will face next on his quest.

The Force Quest storyline is adding an interesting dimension to mythos of the Flash. The idea of Barry as one of a international team of Force avatars that protect the entire Earth opens a new world of possible stories for the Flash, bringing him out of Central City into the wider DCU more often. It will be fascinating to see where this all leads.

The Flash has always been one of my favourite heroes, whether it was Barry or Wally wearing the costume, and it's good to see Barry working to reaffirm that the Flash is indeed the Fastest Man Alive. With this as the stated goal of his Force Quest, it should be fascinating to see if Barry succeeds in doing so as this storyline continues.

The Force Quest has been an exciting ride, which seems to be getting close to its conclusion. Hopefully the conclusion lives up to the excitement build up so far.

However, that's for Barry and us to worry about later, as we all eagerly rush to the Annual to find out more about what's happening with Wally.

This issue's expansion on the Trickster's classic Silver Age origin, while building him into a major foe to challenge the Barry in the next story arc. Williamson has certainly got me wondering what shenanigans James Jesse has in store for the Flash.

Regardless of Barry's other problems, the Trickster poses a threat that keeps the reader guessing. Plus the return of the Trickster to his Silver Age roots gives the storyline a nostalgic note, but still presents the him as a real and dangerous threat to the Flash. I look forward to seeing how the Flash fares as the details of the Trickster's plan are revealed.

After an ending like that, there's no way I'd miss catching the rest of the story. The Flash has survived through numerous extreme physical transformations throughout DC history, but I don't think he's ever had his legs cut off before. I can't wait how Barry gets himself out of this situation.

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that Shinick has proven himself as steward of the Flash mythos. But he has made a good start. This was a serviceable first outing, providing an entertaining tale. Most importantly, Shinick has shown that he has the potential to provide some great stories. I'm sure that as he settles into his role, he'll prove he's up to the job.

The Flash #767 was an enjoyable and interesting chapter in the Endless Winter story. I highly recommend checking the rest of the crossover event's chapters. However, I do not appreciate having a 3 month wait until Barry's story continues in #768.

While I have some trepidation about this title, Flash Forward #1 gives me hope that Lobdell can succeed in re-establishing Wally as a bastion of hope and heroism for the DCU. I look forward to seeing how this endeavour progresses.

I have quite enjoyed this miniseries so far, but Flash Forward #5 has made me realize something about the series. My overall satisfaction with it hangs on where it leaves Wally when it concludes. At this point, it could end up being the redemption that the character badly needed, but there are some worrying signs that DC is about to crap on the character once again. I am hoping that next issue, Lobdell steps up and delivers the former.

Not really caring much about Bendis' regular title allowed me to appreciate Future State: Legion of Super-Heroesa lot more than I probably would have had I been a devout fan. Unfortunately, that doesn't say much about the regular title. But taken on its own, it's quite an enjoyable diversion. I think when the regular Legion of Super-Hero title resurfaces, it would be better off following the story started here or skipping ahead to the inevitable next reboot of Legion continuity.

This was a fun mystery with a complex storyline that came to a surprising, yet satisfying resolution. Gotham Academy continues to be an enjoyable title and an interesting diversion from DC's typical superhero stories.

While I never disliked the character, I never really expected that a Harley Quinn book would be one of my favourite titles. Stephanie Phillips has made me care about the character in a way I never really have before, and has me eager to read the latest chapter every month.

This issue had a rather surprising conclusion, but it provides a great springboard that Ridley will undoubtedly use to propel the story forward. Ridley's doing a fantastic job so far at establishing Jace as a hero that has the trappings of Batman but has an individual style that's all his own.

Despite those drawbacks, I still found I Am Batman #14 to be a very enjoyable issue. Ridley has been doing an excellent job on this title so far. So, I'm not too put off by this issue's imperfections. It's only a slight dip in quality. I really am excited to see how Ridley deals with Jace's first dealings with the wider DCU in his first major crossover event.

Despite a few drawbacks, I still found I Am Batman #14 to be a very enjoyable issue. Ridley's been doing an excellent job on this title so far, so I'm not too put off by this issue's imperfections. It's only seen a slight dip in quality, so I'm still really excited to see how Ridley deals with Jace's first dealings with the wider DCU in his first major crossover event.

A fun and head issue. If time paradoxes give you a headache, you might want to skip it, but if you love wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey stuff, then be sure to pick this issue up.

This is a fun and thoughtful story and serves as a nice companion piece to "The Button." This iteration of the League is shaping up to be the best since Morrison's "Big Seven."

Although the League treated the threat with all due seriousness, this issue exemplifies the element of fun that has been making a comeback in the Rebirth line. This was an important piece of the pre-Flashpoint DC Universe's greatness, and it is a joy to see it being reclaimed in Rebirth.

Like last issue, there seems to be a positivity to the team that has been missing for while. Justice League by rights should be one of DC's best titles, and the last few issues indicate to me that it is quickly working its way back to that status.

With a powerful new member, the League are set to take on future threats. Justice League has been gaining steam and if this trend continues, it could return to being one of DC's top series.

An exciting action-packed adventure that pits each Leaguer against their ultimate foe: a villain with their own powers, but the cunning and skill of the goddamn Batman.

If the new creative team can keep up the level of quality shown in this initial chapter, then we should be in for a very enjoyable run. I look forward to seeing what the post-Rebirth era holds for the Justice League.

Priest and Woods are off to a great start on this title with an engaging and thought-provoking storyline. If they can maintain this level of quality, Justice League will once again be one of DC's best titles.

Despite this apparent continuity error, this storyline is proving to be a refreshing change for Justice League. The title was starting to feel a bit tired and repetitive, but Priest has managed to reinvigorate the title.

This is a very strong character-driven issue with only a minimal amount of action needed. The interactions between the characters as they cope with the question of Batman's leadership of the team is so engrossing that you will hardly notice that current villain doesn't even put in an appearance this issue.

Despite storytelling method being a bit confusing at times, this storyline gives us a fresh take on the League, adding a layer of realism in how the members of the team work with each other and how the team deals with public opinion and governmental interference.

The threads that Priest has laid down seem to be starting to come together. It's hard to see where exactly the story is leading, but the League is facing a threat that is striking at the League's fundamental reasons for existing rather than the usual physical threats the League is used to. This is a fresh take on the League that is quite captivating.

Priest has managed to put the League into a situation quite unlike any they've faced before, with political pressures, internal pressures, and a villain who uses their secrets to his own advantage. So far, this is an intriguing new direction for the League and I look forward to see where it leads.

This story may be a bit confusing at times, but it is certainly exciting and offers a fresh perspective on the Justice League that is somewhat different from their other adventures. I look forward to seeing where this story leads.

This final issue adequately serves to cap off the series, but it does leave me a bit regretful that Priest didn't have a bit longer to fully realize the potential of this storyline. However, I this is somewhat ameliorated knowing that Scott Snyder will soon be helming a new Justice League series.

Justice League seems to be one of the hot points where the mysteries raised by Rebirth are playing out. Snyder is also giving us a kick-ass story at the same time. Snyder has brought the League's main title back to being the centerpiece of the DC lineup.

Lex is at the very threshold of conquering the universe and the Legion of Doom has control of various cosmic powers that drastically overpower the League. Things have rarely looked this dark for DC's premier team. This version of the Justice League works on a scale that's even more epic than Grant Morrison's “Big 7” League, making this one of the most exciting books in DC's lineup.

With Metal and No Justice, Snyder has created a number of threads through the entire DCU, and it seems that the threads are converging in Justice League. By telling a story on such a large-scale, Snyder takes a large risk of the whole story falling flat, but so far his risk is paying off.

This title is absolutely living up to its potential. This is the most exciting the League's adventures have been since Morrison's JLA.

This story is a strange mix of science fiction, throwing gods, magic, and aliens together to produce a cataclysmic threat to the Earth. With other writers, this just might make a mess that doesn't any sense, but Snyder has tied these elements into a unique threat to challenge the League. This promises to be crossover event like no other.

Aquaman doesn't often get a chance to take center stage in a Justice League adventure, so it is great that this storyline allows Arthur to enjoy the limelight. It looks like Aquaman is finally being recognized as an A-list superhero.

Whatever lasting effect the Drowned Earth saga has, you can't deny that it's an exciting tale of epic proportions. I have no doubt that the League will prevail over the alien sea gods, but the Totality in the control of the Legion of Doom is a much greater threat that doesn't portend well for the League.

After the non-stop action of the previous story arcs, the slower pace of this issue was a nice respite before things get crazy again next issue. Snyder and Tynion have certainly re-established the Justice League core title as DC's foremost team book.

The various threads of the current Justice League title seem to be coming together, and it's clear that Snyder and Tynion have been planning something big. This has all the makings of a truly epic story. But if it falls flat, it could also be an epic disappointment, but so far they seem to be pulling it off.

Snyder and Tynion's Justice League can be somewhat difficult to wrap your head around at times, but it's worth the effort. It seems that No Justice is nearing a major juncture, and here's where we find out if their high-stakes gamble will pay off. It's been enjoyable so far, but I will be eagerly watching to see if it succeeds or fizzles out.

DC has been teasing that something big is happening across the entire line of DCU titles, and it is clear that Justice League is going to be a pivotal piece of this major event. It still isn't clear exactly what's coming, but each issue seems to bring us a step closer, ramping up the anticipation.

This issue shows the team refusing to give up their ideals, even though reality itself is at stake. Just when I think Snyder's raised the threat level as high as it can go, he seems to nudge the stakes a bit higher. I can't wait where this is all leading.

VerdictThe League's outing to the Sixth Dimension wasn't what I was expecting. However, it's proven to be an interesting story that has added a lot of depth to the cosmic goings-on in the DC books over the past few years. With each chapter, it becomes clearer that the DCU is headed for a major occurrence that somehow dwarfs any event preceding it. Whatever it is, it seems the Justice League is in the thick of it, so keeping up with this title is essential. Luckily, it's also a tremendously exciting story too.

VerdictWhether the League ends up fighting with or against Batman in the upcoming conflict, it still promises to be a defining conflict in the Justice League's history. It is clear that the Justice League's current adventures will play into the overarching Rebirth saga, which guarantees that every issue is a must-read story.

With Justice League #38 being the penultimate issue of Scott Snyder's run on the title, next issue will bring us the conclusion of the Justice/Doom War. While we might assume that the League will be victorious, we also know that this storyline is feeding into the “Hell Arisen” storyline. So, victory isn't certain. Will it be more of a stalemate? Or might Perpetua and Luthor win? I can't wait to see how Snyder finishes this story off.

Justice League #47 yet again shows us a glimmer of the potential epic Justice League run we might have gotten if he was sticking around for the long haul. I look forward to seeing how he caps off his run on the title over the next two issues.

Justice League #48 is a good first step in what hopefully will be an exciting new chapter for the Justice League. Snyder and Venditti's runs are two very tough acts to follow. However, I have confidence that Spurrier will be up to the challenge.

Justice League #50 does seem a bit disappointing as a landmark issue, However, it does provide a satisfying conclusion to an interesting and thoughtful story arc. Spurrier is departing the title, but I would love to see Spurrier return to see how he would tackle a more conventional Justice League story.

Justice League #58 was a quite enjoyable chapter in the Endless Winter story, but I hope that when #59 comes out in March, that the title gains some more stability than it has had over the last year. Hopefully, Brian Michael Bendis will be able to provide that stability in his run.

Overall, the main story is okay, but not spectacular. I'd give Justice League #61 a score of 3 out of 5 if it weren't for the Ram V's impeccable backup story. I'd give his story a 5/5. Hopefully, Bendis will get his story back on track next issue, but who knows when it come to a Bendis story? Anyway, I have no doubt that Ram V and Xermanico's Justice League Dark story on its own is worth the price of the book. So, if Bendis' main story is good too, then that's just gravy.

In Justice League #64, the Ram V's backup story steals the show. At this point, I think DC might be better off moving Justice League Dark to the main story and Bendis' "Continuing Adventures of Naomi Guest-Starring the Justice League" to the shorter backup slot. I'd definitely give Ram V's story a 5/5 on its own, but Bendis' story is only mediocre this time around.

The main story of Justice League #65 has some major problems, but also has some nice moments. Overall, I'd give it a 3/10. Ram V's backup story is once again perfect 5/5, if a bit short. DC should really consider giving him some of Bendis' pages. His Justice League Dark story deserves at least a full half of the book's page count.

Bendis' story is an improvement overall, but there's still room for improvement. I'd give his story a 35, but I'll add another point for Godlewski's superb artwork. As usual, Ram V and Sumit Kumar's backup story earns a solid 5/5, giving Justice League #68 a 4/5 overall.

The main story in Justice League #69 was an improvement, but still a bit of a mess, but the art was good. So, I'll give it a 3 out of 5. And the Justice League Dark backup story was a solid 5 out of 5 for both the story and art. I still think that Bendis puts his mind to it, he could get this title back on track. But will he?

The main story in Justice League #70 is a step up from Bendis' previous issues, but there's still a fair bit of room for improvement. While he has done some excellent writing in the past, his Justice League hasn't lived up to its potential. Perhaps it's better that he's moving on after issue #74. On the other hand, I'm glad to hear that Ram V's Justice League Dark is graduating to its own title soon. His story more than deserves it. I would give Bendis' writing a mediocre 3 out of 5, but Ram V's writing and the fantastic artwork in both stories raises the rating.

Justice League #71 shows a distinct improvement in the main feature. Hopefully, Bendis will continue to improve, as he won't have Ram V's Justice League Dark backup to carry the series anymore. On the other hand, now that the series' cancellation has been announced, perhaps the point is moot. Ram V's last Justice League Dark story merits a full 5 out of 5, but the main story's writing brings the overall rating down.

With the entire Multiverse is facing imminent destruction, Justice League is hurtling along towards a the kind of event that usually involves some major continuity adjustments. If the DCU is facing a new Crisis that is just as dire as the one it faced in 1985, do you dare risk missing any part of that story?

Lucky Devil has been a fun story from Cullen Bunn and Fran Galan. This story doesn't quite feel complete, but it makes a great Part One. Hopefully, Bunn and Galan are planning a Part Two in the near future.

A great return for the team of Midnighter and Apollo, one of comics' greatest couples. The book is full of action, romance, suspense, nostalgic winks at DC's past, and even a bit of philosophical musing about the necessity of killing. Who could ask for more?

This story is fun, and very, very violent, but it's also shaping up to a classic love story, where the protagonist literally goes through Hell to be reunited with his lover. I can hardly wait until next issue to see Midnighter cutting a swath through the Underworld.

The story continues to be fun, but maintainsthe classic theme of a man traversing Hell to save his lover. It also ends on a strong cliffhanger which leaves us eagerly wondering how Midnighter will prevail over the Mawzir with the Ace of Winchesters destroyed.

The story follows the classic theme of a lover fighting his way through Hell, against impossible odds to save his lover. How could Midnighter be any more badass than that?

This issue, in which Midnighter apparently defeats Neron only to find out it was for naught, is the perfect setup for Apollo and Midnighter's final showdown with the Prince of Lies. I will be eagerly awaiting the next issue to see that epic confrontation.

This story shows a unique tender side to tough guy Jason Todd. I wouldn't want to see Jason become less of a badass, but it's good to see that that isn't all there is to the character. This Rebirth title shows that Rebirth isn't just about returning the DCU to its pre-Flashpoint state, but also about providing quality stories that build on elements introduced in the New 52 era.

This issue is a fine conclusion to this chapter in the life of Damian. It ends on a poignant and optimistic note, promising that although the title may be ending, the adventure will always continue.

While I still would prefer the classic Captain Marvel, Johns is giving us an interesting modern alternative version of the character. There is definitely potential for this series, despite the major changes to the core canon. And oddly it does seem to keep some of the original delightful silliness of the golden age comics that the modern DC Captain Marvel comics had lost. I wouldn't say that I prefer this version over the classic, but it is fun to read if you're willing to judge it on its own merits instead of measuring it against the classic version.

VerdictThis isn't your father's (or grandfather's) Captain Marvel, but it still is a fun book, which has a unique feel that sets it in a different class from other superhero books. While Shazam has a number of modern touches, I feel that this version still maintains the spirit of the character readers have loved for decades.

VerdictEven though Shazam! has many of the trappings, of the classic Captain Marvel, it is best seen as its own thing. The differences are wide enough that it will likely turn off staunch traditionalists. However, if you can look at it as its own thing, a new interpretation for a new era, then it is a quite fun and enjoyable reading experience. Where a lot of the DC line has been veering away from the renewed optimism promised by Rebirth, Shazam! is doing a wonderful job of keeping that positive spirit alive.

Even though there seems to be way too much going on to easily follow, it is worth the effort to do so. Shazam is one of DC's more interesting characters, and Johns' interpretation is compelling, if a little overpowering. And it does help now that the title seems to back on a regular schedule.

Despite this, this chapter keeps up the momentum started in the first chapter. This crossover so far is one of my favourite comic storylines of the year. Hopefully, the remaining chapters will maintain the same level of quality.

Ridley's Super Sons is a story that can be enjoyed by readers of any age, whether they have any knowledge of the regular DCU comics or not. It definitely would be a good way to introduce younger readers to superheroes. But be sure to start with The Polarshield Project and before following it up with The Foxglove Mission.

Super Sons: Escape to Landis serves as a satisfying conclusion to Pearson's Super Sons saga. Although the series is judged somewhat harshly by some, it's quite a good story. I would love to see Pearson continue the adventures of these characters, but perhaps under a new title next time.

Supergirl: Being Super is a great story of a young girl's quest for identity. This book is an ideal book to introduce young girls or boys to the world of comics. Even though this story was not originally a DC Graphic Novels For Young Adults title, it fits right in with these great titles.

Once again, this is a very solid issue, and I am enjoying seeing Superman guiding his son as he takes his first steps towards beinga superhero. This issue is branded as part of DC Rebirth, and we continue to see DC fulfilling the commitment to returning the spirit of the pre-Flashpoint era while continuing to move forward in new directions. What could better exemplify this than the pre-Flashpoint Superman training his son as he moves toward becoming the new Superboy?

Despite my quibbles over Clark's temper issues, I still loved the story. Each issue brings us a little closer to Jon taking up the mantle of Superboy, which is proving a fascinating journey. I can hardly wait until Jon lets his rage loose on the Eradicator next issue.

Still, it's a very good issue. Even though he hasn't officially taken the name yet, we finally see Jon in action as Superboy " a milestone in his continuing story.

Once again, this is my favourite book of the current crop. It perfectly reflects DC's Rebirth ethos by taking us for a walk down memory lane while adding to the mythos of Superman and the new Superboy – an amalgamation of the old and the new.

Tomasi and Gleason are doing a stellar job on this title, and I hope they keep on doing it for a long time to come. They have managed to sell me on the idea of Superman as a family man, and I hope that when all the dust settles from the Rebirth saga, that this Superman remains the official Superman of the DCU.

What more could you ask from an issue? The World's Finest team, Superboy, Robin, the return of characters from Robin, Son Of Batman – plus a ton of action and some bonding between DC's two heavy hitters.

This title is the jewel in the crown of DC's Rebirth line. Tomasi and Gleason have made reading about Superman's adventures fun again and I hope they continue their run on this title for a long time to come.

This issue seems a bit of a downer, compared to earlier issues, but this isn't a bad thing. Life has its ups and downs. And seeing how a marriage can go off the rails could be an important lesson that helps Lois and Clark keep their own marriage going strong.

What can I say? I have always loved parallel Earth stories, and it's good that DC is once again bringing out this staple type of story. And where parallel Earths are involved, it almost certainly must tie into DC Rebirth.

As a fan of multiple Earth stories and as a fan of Superman, this storyline is pushing all the right buttons for me. I can't wait to see what happens next.

This was a great romp with tons of alternate Earth Supermen along for the ride, and a bit of foreshadowing about the Rebirth storyline. This was another astounding issue in what is one of DC's foremost series.

Another great issue in Tomasi and Gleason's stellar run on this series. The Rebirth relaunch has given us some great titles, and this is the cream of the crop.

Despite my reservations about the Kents' encroaching departure from Hamilton County, I still have faith in the creative team to keep this book as one of the best in DC's line. Superman is always the first book I read on the weeks when there is a new issue.

This was an exciting and suspenseful issue that has me eagerly awaiting the story's resolution. I may be somewhat regretful that the Kents are headed for the city quite so soon, but I have faith that the title will remain just as enjoyable regardless of its setting.

This story is full of breakneck action as we hurtle towards the end of the Hamilton County era of the Kent family. I have no worries that they can overcome Black, but will they do so without lasting harm?

Another great issue in an amazing series. The Kents' time in Hamilton County has gone to Hell in a way that will try each of them to their very souls. It will be fascinating to see how they can recover from the scars this story will leave them.

Superman is one of the best examples of the success DC is enjoying with their Rebirth renaissance (if that's not a redundant phrase). New 52 Superman just seemed to be a character with a passing resemblance to the Superman I loved reading about as a kid, but now it feels like that Superman has returned to the pages of DC.

Although, my review sounds like I thought this issue was a bit of a clunker, you might be surprised to hear that I really liked it. With a title of this caliber, even the worst issues are still pretty good. While I hope the book returns to form after the Kent's conclude their vacation, it still is better than most other books being put out these days.

A suspenseful and exciting issue of a fine series. Even though Tomasi and Gleason have taken a break from the writing chores, Keith Champagne does a fine job of keeping up the high standard they have set for one of DC's best titles.

Even though this storyline wasn't produced by the regular creative team, it still came back to the theme that Tomasi and Gleason have established for this series: Superman as a family man. Bad things happening to Lois and Jon that he can't prevent or save them from are his greatest fears, as they are the center of his world.

Even though I am eager for Tomasi and Gleason's return to the title, Bonny and Kirkham are doing a great job of filling in for them. Superman is the foremost title in a stellar stable of books.

This may be a filler story, but it is still a solid effort and the title seems in good hands while Tomasi and Gleason take a short break from the series. Nevertheless, I will be happy to see their return next issue.

This was a fun story, leading up to what promises to be an exciting anniversary issue. I can hardly wait to see what Tomasi and Gleason have for us in the 800th issue of Superman.

The story is set on a massive scale, where Superman and his family " along with Lex Luthor " may well be determining the future of Apokolips itself. Superman continues to be one of DC's finest titles.

Since Rebirth, there is a continuing theme of hope and despair in the DC line, and Superman is one of the books at that best reflects the hope at the heart of the DC Universe as shown in the basic goodness of the character and his relationship with his family and friends.

With Superman now the nominal ruler of Apokolips and his partnership with Lex dissolved, this issue marks a milestone for Superman as he enters the post-Rebirth era.

Despite these issues, it still is an amazing story that further cements Jon's place in the wider DCU. It also gives some hints at mysteries of the DC continuity that have yet to be explored, such as Hypertime. Plus, it was great to see Conner and Bart again.

It seems to me that this title is at its best when it has focused on Superman and his family adventuring together. Despite DC's reluctance to allow major changes to Superman's status quo, family life really seems to suit Superman. This title demonstrates perfectly how DC is moving into the future while staying true to their past.

Although the idea of a world facing the same fate as Krypton on the anniversary of Krypton's destruction strains credibility a bit, this story leads to a thoughtful and touching father-son bonding moment, that makes this a particularly enjoyable issue of this series.

Bendis has the unenviable job of proving himself to a number of skeptical fans who would have been content to stick with the previous creative team. But I believe that this issue shows that he the potential is there for his tenure to be in the same league as other great writers over Superman's history.

With this second issue, Bendis' momentum is still going strong. It's still too early to make any judgements about Bendis' new direction for Superman overall, but he's off to a promising start.

Bendis' time on Superman is off to a great start. With the entire Earth in peril, there's plenty of high-stakes action. Throw in a bunch of guest-starring heroes, some nods to DC history, and a dash of humour, and you have the perfect recipe for a first-rate Superman tale.

Between Superman and Bendis' other Superman book, Action Comics, I have much preferred this title so far. I have my doubts about Bendis' direction for the Kent family, which is playing out in Action, but this book has so far proven to be a decent action-packed story, which is proving to be much more engaging than its sister title.

So far, Bendis' work on this title has been enjoyable to read, but has left a number of matters unresolved that have made me uneasy. Now that these issues are finally being addressed, I am hopeful that Bendis will take things in the right direction – but I also have some trepidation that he might be going the wrong way.

I'm giving this story a rating of 4. If I was rating it on terms of the story and art alone, it would have been a perfect 5, but I have to dock a point for the changes made to Jon.

I really want to hate Bendis' Superman, but he's making it so difficult by writing engaging stories that are fun to read, despite my apprehension about his overall direction. I don't know what Bendis' endgame is, or whether I'll like the status quo that results for the Kent family, but I am enjoying the ride so far.

Honestly, this story has been a bit of a slog to read, and I have strong reservations about many of Bendis' changes to the mythos, but Bendis ended this turbulent flight with a smooth landing. Hopefully, is signalling an improvement that will continue as Bendis moves into the next storyline.

Despite my misgivings about the general direction, Superman #16 was still a joy to read. It gives a touching look at Superboy's friendship with Robin and his relationship with his father. And it presents us with the historic event of Superboy setting off for his adventures in the 31st Century with the Legion of Super-Heroes. It's definitely worth reading and adding to your comic collection.

Bendis' work on this title has been hit and miss, but this issue would definitely count as a hit. If Bendis could just get every issue to be as enjoyable as Superman #17, then this could be one of the best titles in DC's current lineup.

I am still unsure of whether Clark dropping his secret identity was a wise direction for the Superman books. However, I do feel that it is being handled a lot better than when his secret was revealed in the New 52 era. The widespread acceptance and support he is getting for his decision makes a lot more sense than the fear and suspicion that he faced in the New 52. I am finding the story interesting and I hope that Bendis will sell me on this bold direction for the character. With Superman #19, he has made a first step towards doing so.

I still have mixed feelings about Bendis' run on Superman. I can accept Superman going public with his secret identity, but I hate the changes to Jon. But putting aside my feelings about the changes to the mythos, I feel that Bendis is producing an entertaining and interesting story each month in Superman. This makes Superman a title well worth following.

While not a perfect issue, Bendis does do a decent exploration of what he's been putting Superman through in the previous 22 issues. Hopefully, we will get to see more of this more introspective side of Superman once in a while. And maybe it might just lead to some favourable changes in Bendis' Superman saga.

Bendis' writing has been all over the place since he took over as steward of the Superman titles. Sometimes he produces a pretty good story and other times it seems barely comprehensible. Some of his changes have been great ideas and others are disastrous. But Superman #25 is one of the better issues. it's an interesting story, and introduces a new enemy that shows potential as a Superman villain. And he managed to connect the villain to Superman's past without awkwardly retconning him into Superman's origin story. Overall, I would rate this as one of Bendis' better issues. I just wish he could make them all this good.

Bendis' run on the title has been hit or miss, but I would definitely group Superman #26 among the hits. In this issue we get to see a some good character interaction between Lois and Clark, as well as between Clark and Steve. Plus, Bendis has added an interesting twist by pitting Superman against a villain who remains mute, leaving Clark to guess at his motivations. All in all, Superman #26 is one of Bendis' better issues of Superman.

Even though I can't quite accept that this story as canon, it still is quite enjoyable. I can see that some readers might not like this series if they don't appreciate this specific wavelength of humour. However, if you do have a warped sense of humour like I do, you will think it's freakin' hilarious.

Teen Titans Academy #3 continues to flesh out the intriguing beginning that Tim Sheridan has presented for DC's foremost junior team. I look forward to seeing where Sheridan's new direction leads.

With Teen Titans Academy #4, Sheridan is starting to explore the title's primary mystery: the identity of Red X. However, we are left with more questions than answers. A bit frustrating, but it serves as a unique hook to keep readers interested. With Tim Sheridan's storytelling and Steve Lieber's stellar artwork, DC has a winner in Teen Titans Academy.

This is a strong start for this title, and hopefully the level of quality established here will continue as it progresses. It is great to once again read new adventures set in the world of Neil Gaiman's Sandman

The Dreaming is one of the better titles of the Sandman Universe books so far. It brings back a number Neil Gaiman's beloved characters and concepts, but it moves the story forward with some new characters and new situations. It feels like a proper continuation of Gaiman's classic story.

The Dreaming is a fascinating and enjoyable follow-up to Gaiman's Sandman and the original run of this title. I look forward to learning more Secrets and Mysteries about Dream's realm in upcoming issues.

It's clear that The Dreaming treats Neil Gaiman's universe with reverence, but it also isn't shying away with from moving the story in a new direction. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing what the Dreaming looks like after the current crisis gets resolved.

Often when a classic title is revived, it ends in disappointment, failing to live up to the original. However, The Dreaming is a rare exception that feels like a worthy successor to Neil Gaiman's original Sandman series. I look forward to seeing where the quest to find Dream leads.

VerdictOf the Sandman Universe titles, The Dreaming is my favourite, as it brings back a lot of the elements I enjoyed from Gaiman's Sandman series, but also manage to move the story forward. The Dreaming serves as a worthy successor to Gaiman's masterpiece.

Out of the Sandman Universe titles, The Dreaming has the most to live up to, being the title that's a direct sequel to Neil Gaiman's classic Sandman series. But Spurrier has managed to capture a lot of the original title while giving us a new story that moves the book forward.

Of the Sandman Universe titles, The Dreaming is the one with the closest ties to Gaiman's Sandman. But it is telling a new story that sometimes recaptures the essence of the the earlier series, but also forges ahead into a new direction. This issue gives us a nice taste of the past before the story forges ahead again.

While this title is largely a fantasy story, The Dreaming #15 serves as a reminder that there is more than a little horror in its DNA. Spurrier's time on the title may be drawing to a close, but he has managed to make it a worthy continuation of Gaiman's Sandman mythos.

The Dreaming has been a fond reminder of Neil Gaiman's masterful Sandman series, while giving us an engaging continuation of the story. I look forward to seeing how Spurrier wraps up his own epic addition to the Sandman mythos in the final two issues.

In The Dreaming: Waking Hours #2, Wilson's story is starting to take shape and drops a few more hints at where the story is heading. Wilson's story is off to a good start, and if she maintains the same level of quality we have seen so far, then Waking Hours should prove a worthy continuation of Neil Gaiman's classic Sandman saga.

Despite only getting a brief introduction to most of the characters, the issue serves as an excellent teaser for the series, promising that we will learn more about these fascinating heroes as the title continues.

What other comic can offer Plastic Man's antics, a guest appearance of Swamp Thing, and a nod to classic Warner Bros. cartoons, and still tell a pretty good story? Plas and Metamorpho are what originally drew me to this book, but I am quickly growing attached to the rest of the cast. The Terrifics is one of the most fun comics currently being put out.

The new creative team is off to a good start, but it remains to seen if they will live up to the high standard set by the outgoing team, but the potential to do so is evident. Jeff Lemire is a hard act to follow, but I have hopes that Gene Luen Yang is up to the job.

VerdictThe Terrifics has been one of the best titles in DC's lineup, and the main success of the New Age of Heroes line. The question remains as to whether Gene Luen Yang can maintain the high level of quality set by Lemire. So far, it appears that he has the potential to do so and has made a decent start.

Despite these quibbles, it is overall a very good story. It furthers the Rebirth storylinea bit and further cements Wally's restored place in the DC Universe. Once again, DC is successfully restoring classic elements of the characters while carrying their story forward instead of backward.

Titans is shaping up to be one of the tent-pole titles of the Rebirth storyline. The Titans seem to be at the centre of events with their forgotten history holding tantalizing hints of the true DC Universe timeline.

Although this event and special are a bit lacking in originality, they do give us an entertaining read. Also, it sets Black Mask up as a much more dangerous threat than before. I hope to see the new and improved Black Mask making more appearances, whether in the Batman family of titles or in the wider DC Universe.

This series has given us a fresh look at some important figures in the Batman mythos, Two-Face and Alfred Pennyworth. In fact, this new redefinition of Alfred provides much more depth to the character without changing or contradicting anything we already knew about him. And it reaffirms a vitally important, but mostly overlooked fact that Alfred is Bruce's father as much as Thomas Wayne was. And that by itself is enough to mark this as a truly great Batman story.

Are You Afraid Of Darkseid? is a fun Hallowe'en collection of stories that is well worth checking out. And it is not too scary to share with any kids in your household. And DC, isn't it about time for a new Phantom Stranger ongoing series?

I haven't started playing Dawn of Ragnarok yet, but Forgotten Myths #1 has got me eager to get into it. Alexander Freed has given us an enticing first taste of this story that has me eager to see the rest of the story. As a comic fan who has enjoyed playing several of the Assassin's Creed games, I am thrilled when the story is expanded upon in the medium of comic books.

If you enjoyed playing Assassin's Creed Valhalla's Dawn of Ragnarok expansion, this Forgotten Myths is a great addition to that story. But it is quite an enjoyable excursion into Norse mythology in its own right. So, even if you haven't played the game, it's still well worth checking out.

Batman #106 is the perfect jumping-on point for new readers (but check out Infinite Frontier #0 first). Tynion already had my full attention, but this issue has me eager to see what Tynion has up his sleeve for the months ahead.

Batman #108 was a well-written and beautifully drawn issue and Messrs. Tynion, Jimenez, and Ortiz should take a bow. I loved this introduction to a pair of intriguing young ladies. Miracle Molly and Kid Kawaii are both fascinating characters with loads of story potential. I look forward to seeing what plans Tynion has for them.

Batman #109 is another great chapter in the lead up to the Fear State event. Tynion's story has me hooked and eager for each new issue.

I'm not sure how I feel about where the Batman books are heading, but I'm loving the journey towards that destination. Batman #110 is full of the kind of action-packed excitement that I love to read in a comic. I can hardly wait to see what Tynion has in store for us during the Fear State event.

Batman #111 is the culmination of Tynion's build-up to Fear State. Given how amazing Joker War was, I expect that Fear State will prove just as great. I will be eagerly watching to see if Tynion can deliver with this event story.

Batman #112 marks the end of Tynion's set-up for the major event that will conclude his run on the title. The potential is there for this to be an all-time classic story, but it remains to be seen if Tynion can deliver. I'm hoping he can. Thomas' Clownhunter backup story shows some potential too. But it's an interesting beginning and I look forward to seeing where he's going with it.

With Batman #113, Tynion has brought us to the point where the real fun begins. As Batman says, "Scarecrow's turned the city into a powder keg. Peacekeeper-01's the match that's going to blow it all to hell". And now we will find out if Tynion's story will live up to this explosive promise.

Fear State is moving at a breakneck pace now and I'm immensely enjoying it. Tynion has managed to redefine Batman's status quo during his run, and I'm sure he has a few surprises left before he finishes his run. Issue #115 can't come soon enough.

Batman #115 is another great chapter of Tynion's ambitious Fear State event. Tynion has positioned all the pieces on the board, and now it remains to be seen how the endgame plays out. Hopefully, the ending lives up to the buildup that he has given it. In any case, it will be an exciting blowout of a battle as Batman fights to save Gotham from the Scarecrow's Fear State.

With Batman #117, James Tynion IV has ended his run on Batman with a bang. And there's no denying that Tynion has made his mark on Batman and Gotham City. And while I enjoyed his work on the title, I also have high hopes that incoming writer Joshua Williamson will be bringing some great Batman stories as well.

Shadow War is shaping up to be an engaging mystery. I am really looking forward to seeing where Williamson's story is leading. And also seeing what the status of the Batman and Robin partnership will be as Chip Zdarsky begins his run on Batman.

Batman/Catwoman #7 marks the beginning of the second half of Tom King's series. Bruce and Selina's romance is a rather odd one, but King's story is exploring it in a fascinating way. King has written some absolutely amazing Batman stories and this series is shaping up to be another classic.

Although I watched the Batman Beyond cartoon, it was never really a favourite of mine, as it seemed too disconnected from the rest of the DC Universe. This title seems to me to be better grounded in the rest of DC's mythology, even if it is set a few decades in the future.

Black Hammer Reborn #2 is another fantastic issue in Jeff Lemire's continuation of his Black Hammer saga. Some readers may be a bit put off in that this title doesn't contain most of the familiar characters from the previous two volumes of Black Hammer. But I urge you to have faith in Lemire's storytelling skills. In all the various Black Hammer projects, he hasn't let us down yet.

I was a bit hesitant about Black Hammer Reborn, considering the absence of Golden Gail, Barbalien, and the other from the preceding volumes of the core Black Hammer series. But Lemire can always be trusted to provide a fantastic story, regardless of which characters are in it.

In Black Hammer Reborn #4, Jeff Lemire has finished with the set-up and has brought Lucy Weber to the point of taking up her heroic identity once more. I look forward to seeing what Lemire has planned for Lucy as the story shifts into high gear. Lemire hasn't disappointed yet, so I'm sure we're in for a treat.

Lemire's Black Hammer books never disappoint, andBlack Hammer Reborn #11 no exception. I look forward to seeing how this series wraps up next issue, as it sets the stage for Black Hammer: The End.

In Black Hammer: Visions #5, Kelly Thompson and Leonardo Romero provide a Skulldigger story that's a worthy addition to the Black Hammer mythos. The experiment of letting other creators play with Jeff Lemire's toys continues to reward readers with some fantastic stories.

Blue & Gold #2 is another great issue of Dan Jurgens' great buddy superhero story. I'm happy that DC's Infinite Frontier lineup features titles like this that have a lighter tone, but still have a lot of heart.

While most heroes are great to read about, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are the kind of heroes that it would be fun to hang out with. Despite their propensity to get in trouble, they have an endearing quality that Jurgens captures perfectly. Blue & Gold is the kind of entertaining fun that we don't see enough of in comics anymore.

Blue & Gold #4 is a fantastically fun comic that brings back memories of Keith Giffen's Justice League. Dan Jurgens has done a terrific job of recapturing the feel of that iteration of the League in this issue's story. Perhaps Jurgens might consider tackling a full JLI story after this series concludes.

I have really been enjoying Dan Jurgens' Blue & Gold series. This title shows a lot of heart by focusing on one of the most notable friendships in the DCU. And I can hardly wait to see what Jurgens has planned for the duo when the newest Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) guest-stars next issue.

Blue & Gold #7 not only gave us a unique chance to see DC's two Blue Beetles in action together, but it beautifully sets up the series' conclusion next issue. I look forward to seeing how Ted and Booster fare in their confrontation with Black Beetle.

Blue & Gold #8 is a great cap to Dan Jurgens miniseries. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an earlier era. But it also demonstrates that such a book can still work today. While this is the last issue of Blue & Gold, I expect that we will see more of this dynamic duo again before long.

A fun story with humour, some nice character interaction, plus a Batman appearance. Giffen and DeMatteis weave all these elements into an amazing story.

It has been a fun ride with Giffen, DeMatteis, and Kolins, but they are now handing the title over to a new creative team. I hope they can live up to the standard set by their predecessors.

Dark Crisis: Young Justice #2 continues this nostalgic look back at Peter David's classic series. The original Young Justice series was one of my all-time favourite comics, and Meghan Fitzmartin and Laura Braga have managed to capture much of the feel of that series. This series is proving to be a nostalgic look back while providing an interesting story that will hopefully set up new incarnation of the team for the Infinite Frontier era.

As a fan of Peter David's originalYoung Justiceseries, I am loving this return of the team. Fitzmartin and Braga are doing a fine job of tapping the nostalgia for that series, while still creating a new story of their own. I am hoping that this series is leading to a new Young Justice title. Hopefully DC has plans forYoung Justiceonce the dust settles fromDark Crisis.

I was blown away by this issue. We gota satisfying conclusion to the Godspeed saga, the debut of the new Kid Flash, some nostalgic touches, and a reminder that more exploration in the Rebirth mystery is coming soon.

An amazing issue that has delivered a lot of items that Ive been waiting for: the meeting of the former and current Kid Flashes, more Rebirth hints, and the promised return of the Golden Age Flash. I could hardly ask for anything more from a single regular issue.

Barry's life is really in turmoil right now, but it makes for great reading. The Flash is easily one of the best books of the Rebirth line right now, and is always the book I read first on any week a new issue comes out.

The Flash is the heart of the DCU, and over the past few issues, that heart has been hurting. It's great to see that he is finally taking steps to get his life in order. Rebirth is about hope and optimism, which can't properly succeed if the DCU's heart loses touch with that optimism.

Although I am still not completely sold that Barry's self-worth comes entirely from his powers, it still is an amazingly good story " especially since we get to see Wally taking such a prominent role in the story.

This story reminds me of how much I miss Wally's comic and the supporting cast that was written out of the DC canon with the New 52 reboot. It gives me hope that many of those characters are going to be coming back soon. I am also reminded of how much I miss seeing Barry and Wally working together. I hope this storyline isn't leading to one or the other giving up the Flash identity, but rather to affirm that there is room in the DCU for two Flashes (or three once Jay Garrick returns).

Ram V is a recent addition to DC's talent pool, but he's already proving himself to be quite the storyteller. I found Future State: Catwoman #1 to be rather engaging and exciting. I look forward to seeing how this story ends. And if you like this issue, be sure to check out his work in the regular Catwoman title.

Future State: Legion of Super-Heroes #1 completely exceeded my expectations. I wasn't really a fan of Bendis' reinterpretation of the Legion, but I am really enjoying this look ahead into a potential future for the team. If Bendis continues under Bendis' direction, I hope he continues this story instead of picking up where he left off.

Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman #1 may not be as enticing as the event's other titles. However it has an element of fun that the other titles seem to be missing. Many of the titles show a rather dystopian future. However, this title shows a future I might actually enjoy living in. Plus, I can't deny that I love seeing Jon Kent having fully grown into the role of Superman.

Future State: The Next Batman #2 gives us a fascinating look into the Gotham City of this particular future timeline. However, while the main attraction is quite interesting on its own, I find myself more intrigued by the backup stories that flesh out the world of the Next Batman. But all three stories are winners, and well worth the cover price.

I wouldn't want to see Jon Kent and Yara Flor supplant Clark and Diana in the regular monthly titles. However, I would love to see more of this pair in the future. I would love to see them in another Future State story or in a modern day Superboy/Wonder Girl miniseries.

Future State: The Batman #3 brings us the penultimate chapter of the Next Batman's debut story and concludes two of the backup stories. But while these stories have given us a fascinating taste of this Future timeline, there is still a lot of untapped potential in this future timeline. I hope DC will return to explore it in depth in the near future.

Future State: The Next Batman #4 is the end of this miniseries, but not the end of the Future State Gotham story. This series has done an outstanding job in introducing Jace Fox as a new Batman and the dystopian future he lives in. I look forward to seeing the story continuing is the months ahead.

Overall, I had a great time reading Generations Forged #1 and its predecessor, Generations Shattered . It was an entertaining adventure spanning different eras of DC's publishing history. It read like a bit-sized version of Crisis On Infinite Earths. And while at first, I thought it held some worrisome implications for DC continuity, those fears have been assuaged. But I won't be pleased if Infinite Frontier reveals that the Linearverse is the main DC Universe after all.

Harley Quinn #1 is a promising start to a new volume of Harley's adventures. Stephanie Phillips has already started building a fascinating story. I look forward to seeing what she has in store for Harleen Quinzel in the coming months.

While I don't dislike the character, I never expected a Harley Quinn title to be one of my favourite books. I am quite enjoying Phillips' take on Harley and I look forward to seeing where this story is headed.

Harley Quinn #5 is another great issue of this odd but fun series from Stephanie Phillips and Riley Rossmo. I never really expected that a Harley Quinn title would become one of my favourite books. Her antics are as entertaining as always, but Phillips has added an undercurrent of deeper meaning that makes this title more compelling that previous incarnations. It's well worth checking out, even if Harley Quinn isn't your usual cup of tea.

I honestly never thought that a Harley Quinn title would be one of my favourites. I don't dislike the character, but I've never been particularly drawn to her either. But Stephanie Phillips has managed to hook me into her story about Harley's quest for redemption. Even if you're not a fan of Harley, this title is well worth checking out.

While I never hated Harley Quinn, I never really thought she was a particularly great character either. But between this series and the hilarious cartoon, Harley is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters. Phillips and Rossmo are producing a pretty good title that's a hell of a lot of fun.

Harley Quinn #8 is another solid issue from Stephanie Phillips and Riley Rossmo. I never expected that a Harley Quinn series would be one of my favourite series, but Phillips has managed to hook me with her interpretation of the character. I look forward to seeing what she has planned for Harley in post-Fear State Gotham.

While I never disliked the character, I never really thought that a Harley Quinn title would be one of my favourite comics. Stephanie Phillips has added more depth in the character of Harley than I though was possible. And Harley Quinn #10 is a perfect example of this.

Harley Quinn was never a title that I took much notice of in its previous iterations. But Stephanie Phillips' unique take on the character has become one of my favourite titles . It has also made me reassess the character, finding more depth in Harley than I thought the character possessed. Hopefully, she will be able to maintain this level of excellence.

As one would expect of Harley Quinn series, this title is tremendous lot of fun. However, there is depth to the series that I didn't expect at first. I expected to enjoy Stephanie Phillips' Harley Quinn, but I didn't expect that it would become one of my favourite titles in the DC lineup. I am looking forward to seeing what Phillips has planned for the title's second year.

As I've stated before, I never expected that a Harley Quinn title would be one of my favourite books, but Phillips' interpretation of the character has got me hooked. And I am quite eager to see where her overall redemption arc leads.

I still find it surprising that a Harley Quinn title has become one of my favorite books. but Stephanie Phillips has managed to keep me coming back each month, eager to see what Harley's up to in each new issue. I have a special place in my heart for comics that are fun, and Phillips' Harley Quinn is definitely a hell of a lot of fun.

The Harley Quinn 2021 Annual gives us an an interesting look at Harley's sidekick Kevin, while filling us in on Keepsake's backstory. It's an amusing tale that offers both laughs, but with an introspective undertone. Stephanie Phillips' take on Harley has made this a much more interesting and enjoyable title than I expected at first.

With I Am Batman #0, John Ridley has gotten off to a great start. This feels like it could be a ground-breaking new series. Although, I'm sure the title will have some detractors, I hope that the series, and Jace Fox”s career as the Batman, will be long and successful.

With I Am Batman #1, John Ridley continues to build on the solid start from last issue. So far, this series is living up to all the hype. Jace Fox is a fascinating character and I look forward to seeing how he evolves, as Ridley tells his story.

In I Am Batman #2, Ridley's story is still going strong as he continues to establish Jace Fox as the Next Batman. This story is proving to be every bit as good as DC hyped it up to be. Hopefully, both Ridley and this title will enjoy a long and successful run, allowing the writer ample opportunity to fully realize his vision for the Next Batman.

Likewise, Ridley's story as a whole has taken the idea of Batman's succession in an unexpected direction, as he's managed to weave a fascinating story from that. I am keenly interested in seeing how the Batman might evolve with Jace Fox wearing the cowl.

I have to admit that I was somewhat cynical of a new Batman taking on the role of Gotham's Dark Knight – especially one who wasn't selected by Bruce Wayne or part of the Bat-Family's inner circle. John Ridley's story has convinced me that the idea can work. I look forward to seeing where the story's heading, and with I Am Batman #4, we can see the various plot points begin to coalesce.

Whether John Ridley's title is in-continuity or not, I'm still enjoying it immensely. I'm glad to see that Jace is establishing himself in the role. The move to a new city in I Am Batman #5 and the minor, but significant change in costume should help distinguish Jace from his predecessor, and I look forward to watching his continuing evolution as the Batman.

This left him scrambling to make I Am Batman fit properly into the Infinite Frontier-era continuity. Moving Jace to a new city allows for a way to rebuild the status quo that can repair or cover a lot of the continuity problems. So, the move to New York was probably a wise decision in the long run.

Ridley's story is showing us how Jace is proving himself and growing into the role of Batman and this is best done out of Bruce's shadow. Putting Jace in a different, but not entirely dissimilar city allows the new Dark Knight to establish himself with minimal reliance on Bruce's reputation. Ridley's story is an interesting deconstruction of the character that asks if one has to be Bruce Wayne to succeed as a Batman. It's an intriguing premise and I look forward to seeing how it plays out as Jace's saga continues.

I Am Batman #8 is a rather thought-provoking issue of John Ridley's Batman saga. It illustrates that the book's title is well-chosen. It represents what Jace is saying about his heroic identity, but the intonation is evolving as the story progresses. At first, it was a somewhat presumptuous declaration: “I Am Batman!”. Now, it's becoming more of a question”. I think it may eventually become a statement again, and may even evolve to become “I Am The Batman”.

I Am Batman #9 continues to show the evolution of the character, as he figures out his own unique approach to being Batman. It also shows his supporting cast starting to evolve into his own Bat-Family and it's becoming clear that Ridley has a long-term plan in store for this new Dark Knight. I look forward to seeing how Jace evolves as Ridley's story plays out.

Ridley has managed to take an unlikely premise and is building a fascinating new take on the Batman legend from it.

While I originally had some doubts about a new Batman, John Ridley's is pulling it off so far. I still doubt that Jace would succeed as a replacement for Bruce Wayne, but Ridley is proving that he can succeed as his own Batman. Ridley has managed to take an unlikely premise and is building a fascinating new take on the Batman legend from it.

I know that many are still unsure of Jace's worthiness to share the mantle of Batman. I was doubtful myself at first, but as Ridley's story develops, Jace is really growing into the role. I Am Batman #13 contains a major landmark in the story, as Tiff takes her first steps towards establishing her own crimefighting identity. It will be interesting to see if Jace will put a quick end to it, or accept her as his "Robin.

It will be interesting to see if Jace will put a quick end to it or accept her as his "Robin.

Often, event tie-in issues are rather forgettable, but John Ridley bucks this trend with I Am Batman #15. Instead, Ridley gives us an exciting and thoughtful story that reveals much of what drives Jace Fox to be Batman. On top of that, we get to see Jace taking an important first step toward building relationships with DC's superhero community.

The mystery deepens in Infinite Frontier #2. The overall story is still somewhat murky, but Williamson has given us some tantalizing teasers so far. Hopefully, the story will start becoming clearer next issue. I can barely contain my anticipation for the next issue. This is an enticing mystery.

Within only a three issues so far, Priest has breathed new life into Justice League. The League continues to fight the usual threats, but looming legal threats and a crisis of faith give the story a new dimension. And the threat posed by the ersatz Batman promises a thrilling conflict as the "Justice Lost" storyline continues.

Both stories in Justice League #60 build on the strong start from last issue. Bendis seems to be bringing his A game to this title so far and Ram V always does so. And they are backed up with some fantastic artwork from Marquez and Xermanico. Things are looking pretty good for the months ahead for both stories.

Justice League #63 gave us a decent story from Bendis, but once again Ram V's Justice League Dark backup steals the show. The backup story is worth the price of the book alone, so Bendis' main story is just gravy.

Justice League Incarnate #2 not only moves the main story forward, but provides a loving tribute to the Vertigo Comics era. This series is proving to be a treat with an exciting story peppered with nice surprises pulled from DC's history. I can hardly wait to see what surprises the rest of the series will hold.

Zdarsky and Mendonca have done a superb job in Justice League: Last Ride #5. It's a shame that this is a miniseries, as I would love to see an ongoing series from this creative team. But at least we have two more issues of this mini to look forward to.

I'll admit that I didn't know what to expect of this title at first. After the first issue, I still wasn't sure what to make of it but I still loved it. Now, with Lucky Devil #2, the story has taken shape and I still love it.

Lucky Devil #3 is another great issue of Cullen Bunn's fascinating horror miniseries. I am eager to see what Bunn and Galan's version of Hell looks like when Stanley and his friends go there next issue. I'm sure Cullen Bunn has a Hell of a conclusion in store for us.

This series had it all: badass action, nods to DC history, and a timeless love story. It doesn't get much better than this.

Do not miss out on this series. It's one of DC's most fascinating characters written and drawn by one of DC's hottest creator teams. If the quality is maintained from this issue, it should easily be one of DC's biggest hits of the year.

Mister Miracle's defining trait is that he can escape any trap. I am positive that this is the story of his greatest escape ever, even though we have yet to see the nature of the trap. This series has the makings of a truly epic Fourth World story.

This book is a treat to read carefully, looking for hints or clues about what's really going on. Mister Miracle is faced with the most dangerous trap of his career, and I can hardly wait to see how he escapes.

Reading this series messes with the mind, but in a fun way. We are kept wondering what is wrong with reality. I can't help but feel compelled to keep reading the series until Scott solves the mystery and escapes the trap.

While DC's Rebirth era has given us many great books, Mister Miracle is one of the best, despite not being labelled as a Rebirth title. It has breathed new life into Jack Kirby's Fourth World without losing touch with the spirit of Kirby's original stories.

Multiversity: Teen Justice #1 is a great start to this miniseries exploring Earth-11. I look forward to learning more about this team and their world as the series progresses. While it is a great tie-in to DC's Pride Month celebration, it's also a great story in its own right.

Multiversity: Teen Justice #2 continues this fascinating look at one of the DC Multiverse's most intriguing worlds. I look forward to further exploring this world and getting to know these heroes better over the remaining issues of this miniseries.

Multiversity: Teen Justice #3 continues Cohen and Lore's exciting tale set on Earth-11. This parallel world is a particularly interesting reflection of the main DC Earth. I love seeing how the characters compare and contrast with the versions we're more familiar with. I didn't know what to expect from Multiversity: Teen Justice at first, but it's proving to be one of the gems in DC's current lineup.

Overall, Multiversity: Teen Justice #4 was another enjoyable issue. Cohen and Lore are doing some amazing world-building here, and Marco Failla is doing a bang-up job of realizing Earth-11 visually. Considering how well this series is turning out, I hope DC will bring us other Multiversity titles exploring other Earths in the Multiverse.

I'm really enjoying Cohen and Lore's story set on this fascinating alternate Earth. The only drawback I can see is that there isn't enough time in a single miniseries to really dig into the rich history of Earth-11. I look forward to seeing how they wrap this story up, and I'll be watching for future projects that will revisit this fascinating alternate version of the DCU.

On the surface, Multiversity: Teen Justice is something of an odd series. It bears the branding of an event from seven years ago and appears to have little connection to anything currently happening in the main DCU. However, it has proven to be a terrifically fun story that makes an interesting change of pace from DC's main line of titles.
