Black Canary is a mixed bag, partly because of it's overall tone, and partially from the multitude of storylines shoved into every issue.

Geoff Johns throws in a few surprises along a path most readers expected this issue to go down " though this is the beginning of the second art of "The Darkseid War", the whole affair is starting to feel anticlimactic.

Like some many debut issues, this has the dual responsibility of setting the stage while simultaneously making readers want to read the next issue. Titans Hunt #1 succeeds on both levels.

It's fun seeing so many great characters all back together again, and James Tynion IV seems to be on top of his game, narratively. This is absolutely a great start to a new weekly series.

One of the best points of this issue is that Jim Gordon is a great detective in his own right, and that is something that most writers have been overlooking since the introduction of the new Batman.

Most readers that have complaints about this are focusing on the concept of this story, not necessarily it's execution. Status quo will likely return quick enough, but in the meantime, take some time and enjoy out of the ordinary take on the Man of Steel

This issue is, on the surface, a great detective story; it's a great "whodunit?" laid out, and the final answer makes perfect sense while being simultaneously surprising.

The masterminds behind the Harley Quinn monthly book brink readers another special that no one asked for, but anyone with a sense of humor will enjoy.

If you are going to have a book set in the future, this is the way you have fun with it.

rancis Manapul and Brian Buccellato's run on Detective Comics has come to an end, and they bring a very satisfying conclusion to their first and only Bat-Jim tale.

The team-building exercise here is fun, but overall still just a side story.

The biggest takeaway from this issue is just how much of a world this creative team " Cameron Stewart and Brenden Fletcher " have made for Barbara Gordon in Burnside. Babs Tarr is doing amazing work in the art in this title if you needed another excuse to buy this.

Justice League of America is starting to feel like the universe-spanning story that it seemed it would be initially.

This issue in many ways feels like a real passing of the torch to Jim Gordon as Batman and in the closing scenes of the book when he was in action for the first time it really feels like he is Batman, not just someone holding down the post for a few issues.

This issue wraps up the peril from the end of last issue in a nice tight bow but unfortunately it looks like the additions of Poison Ivy, Etrigan and Mera were very short term and it seems that there run has come to a close with each of them departing the book at the end.

With each passing issue, the writing team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner have shown significant improvement, a trend which continues in Starfire #3

Fans of Pre-Crisis DC Comics are going to love Convergence: Batman and The Outsiders #1. The only real complaints are about elements that have to be there to facilitate Convergence.

Did I mention that Harley has to fight Captain Carrot with the fate of her city in the balance in the next issue? Make sure to check out Convergence: Harley Quinn #2 next month!

We are off and running in a new era of Green Lantern. This is a great start, and any fears that the universe in anyone else's hands than Johns are put to rest. We get a new direction here and it is one that a longtime fan or a new reader can wrap their arms around and embrace. If you have been on the fence about getting into Green Lantern I can only tell you this: Jump on in, the water feels fine!

I really have enjoyed this title recently and it is tough to really think of this as New Guardians story and not a Green Lantern story. It is still enjoyable as an issue and lets face it if you are a Green Lantern fan at all you are going to be reading Lights Out.

The 3-D cover on this issue is very good in my opinion. I have found myself really enjoying them after initially thinking I would hate them. The final scene is worth the price alone if you are a Green Lantern fan. I feel that more could have been done with this issue.

It is another solid issue out of the new creative team. The splash page featuring Carol, Kyle, Saint Walker and Friends is the highlight of solid issue. If you were like me and had some concerns about life in the Green Lantern universe without Geoff Johns I am pretty sure we can sleep soundly at night.

This title is off and running, and sets an impressive tone right from the first page. If you are new to the character there is no problem picking up the first issueeverything you need to know is here. If you feel overwhelmed with dark themes and depressing stories ,this may be the book for you. This comic is pure fun from cover to cover.

While this issue feels like a gigantic prelude to something imminent, Green Lantern: New Guardians #21 is a satisfying read that sets a new course for Kyle.

Batwing #21 is another typical Batwing issue. Though not bad, it is certainly not memorable. I found myself constantly having to flip back through the issue when writing this review to remind myself what had happened in a comic I had read 20 minutes previously.

We are off and running in a new era of Green Lantern. This is a great start, and any fears that the universe in anyone elses hands than Johns are put to rest. We get a new direction here and it is one that a longtime fan or a new reader can wrap their arms around and embrace. If you have been on the fence about getting into Green Lantern I can only tell you this: Jump on in, the water feels fine!

The issue is a mess. An annual is supposed to be something epic, or at the very least entertaining. This issue performs neither of these functions. Penguin makes killer drones that will haunt down Catwoman and she in turn goes and gets a ray gun to take them down. This is a must-miss issue.

I am sure that we will get back to some type of universe ending peril soon, but this month we got a little back-story tour. The art is really nice and we do get to see a variety of characters drawn in this one book. Unfortunately, the issue is not that entertaining. Nothing really happens here. On the plus side, if you are trying to get someone to start reading New Guardians this may be a perfect place to start as the new reader will get everything that they need to know in one issue.

This is a tremendous ending to not only the Wrath storyline, but Johns entire run on Green Lantern. I enjoyed the issue in almost every way you can. The art was crisp and every time you turned the page you were simply overwhelmed with everything that was going on. The price point is a bit high at $7.99 but it reads and feels more like a graphic novel than a single issue comic. It is worth it. If you have ever been a fan of Green Lantern during Johns run this issue is a must-own.
