HOLMES & HOUDINI: THE CURSE OF MORIARTY brings the newest hero team back to fight a monster with ties to the famous Sherlock Holmes and Liesel Van Helsing. David Wohl's central concept has promise, and the multi-member art team does a fine job, but the story execution is poorly plotted, slow, and dull.

Johnson and Montrose have crafted an epic, albeit heady, science-fiction tale worthy of fan-favorite Green Lantern John Stewart by rooting it in a deep understanding of the space hero's soft side.

Justice League Unlimited is a huge opportunity for great stories, and the first issue teases the potential of what may come next!

A fun romp in an exciting setting, but little more; what NYX #6 lacks in substance, it makes up for in style. As Kelly and Lanzing introduce new heroes and returning villains, NYX can only hope to aim higher and swing harder!

Plastic Man No More #1 is an engaging entry into the miniseries, one that stretches our perception of the character into one well worth a four-issue investment.

"[That's] what I love about living in New York Citythat something new and possible is perpetually awaiting." Hop on the train now; issue #3 comes out on September 25th.

This current run of Green Lantern has been especially impressive, and issue thirteen stays the course despite the turbulence.

NYX #1 is a lot like the first day of a new school year: exciting, with lots of new faces, and full of potential!

NYX is grounded, relatable, and subway-deep. The least realistic detail is that gas in New York only costs $1.30.

While a series on lesser-known heroes from the Marvel catalog may not immediately appeal to some readers, I make the plea to forego the bigwigs and try NYX on for size. You'll find a character-driven, light read that delivers without overstaying its welcome.

Still evading expositional nutrients, Kelly and Kubert's second of three issues still makes for a tasty literary treat.

At long last, all of our favorite Green Lanterns are together again on the page. The operative word in the title is special; at a whopping 48 pages, this book is chock-full of cameos, team-ups, and long-awaited payoffs.

Green Lantern: War Journal #12 concludes the compelling series with a bow, reminding us that what makes a hero is not his fist but his heart.

As Plastic Man reinvents himself, we too see him in a new light. Funny, heartfelt, and fresh Plastic Man No More! is an unexpected hit!

All the same, Plastic Man No More! #3 is a fun, grungy, low-issue investment addition to your pull list. Catch up on the limited series now before its climactic finale this December!

Green Lantern #16 is a strong installment that brings together stunning art, rich character moments, and an engaging narrative. If you were lost in the maelstrom of too many concurrent series and are looking for a way in, this is the start of something great! We're so back.

Gorgeous, exciting, effective DC's newest branding umbrella ALL IN is an apt descriptor for Green Lantern. The characters are all in, the creators are all in, and so am I.

Adams' and Xermanico's Green Lantern has fought its way to being one of DC's best series and has taken a few hits on the chin to get there, but Green Lantern #18 cements its status.

The new TMNT series remains steady with a fun second issue and an exciting set-up for #3. Now's a great time to jump in!

IDW's 40th-anniversary Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series has been consistent in quality and distinct in substance. The brothers may have reconvened, but their greatest challenge still awaits!

NYX has been a slow-burn to reach a sizzle, but each issue gets progressively better. Try it on for size, and you may be surprised how much you'll take to it. Until the next chapter, we've got you covered for all things comics here at The Comic Book Spot.

IDW's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series is very exciting and a must-have for your pull list. Also, by the way, twenty-eight pages and no ads!

Wolverine: Revenge #1 pushes off strong out of the gate and sprints headfirst into issue #2, out next month.

Wolverine: Revenge #2 takes the story to new heights, and boldly declares itself a must-read entry in the Marvel library.

In any other story, the grand climax of Wolverine: Revenge #3 would be a perfect series finale, but with two more issues to go, anything could happen!
