Overall, Challengers of the Unknown continues to be an exciting inclusion to the Justice League titles. The mystery seamlessly weaves the character studies and the interconnecting plot threads of the previous issues and the rest of the JL line. The art is slick. If only somebody was paying attention to the lettering.

Death of Copra #3, while so far the most action heavy and animated of the series, is also the most messy in terms of plotting. However, the hand of the author outweighs most of the faults this book brings.

Shalvey delivers a strong conclusion to his Mystique mini-series; possibly the definitive ending for the character and a true epilogue to the Krakoan-era of the X-men.

Pop Kill #1 offers little in both style and substance. It's a comic that at once thinks it's smarter than it is yet not nearly as senseless as it desperately needs to be. Its influences are obvious, leaning on imitation.

While Radiant Black #31 doesn't give new readers an easy in, it is a stellar opener nonetheless. The nuanced characterization and interesting mystery hook surrounding the alternate earth refuges make it no wonder why the Radiant franchise has blossomed into what it has become.

The Ultimates #10 continues the trend of delivering nuanced politics and blockbuster action into the superheroic realm that is rarely seen in the current landscape.
