I loved this issue, I was reading it at work and my coworkers started giving me funny looks and wanting to know what I was laughing about. The art is fantastic and Catwoman looks great as always. The writing of Meredith Finch is awesome, as to be expected after her run on Wonder Woman.

As a first issue, this hits the ground running like no issue has before. We are subject to super personal and real moments, blood, gore, even some nudity! I can't wait to see how Valentine's book comes as she hears the tales of Antonio Luna.

Deathbed #2 pushes the concept of this series up another notch. This time adding a more thoughtful component into the series, taking Luna down a peg from his high horse.

Between deep emotional growth, ninja mummy attacks, and drug fueled orgies, Deathbed #3 is a great addition to the life of Antonio Luna and will be a great addition to your comic collection!

Deathbed #5 is a wonderfully self-reflective issue for the protagonists and readers! Be sure to pick this comic up and be prepared for the amazing conclusion in the next one!

Deathbed #6, the finale, was an incredible end to this six-part mini-series. It brought the whole story full circle without leaving any loose ends to the lives of Luna or Val. Be sure to pick this issue up now!

As any oversized special should be, this issue is packed with story. We get a look at every member of the new Bat-Family and a look ahead to what might be around the next bend. James Tynion IV is a fabulous creator and this is another notch in his impressive library of stories.

Detective Comics #952 was a solid issue that I enjoyed thoroughly. Tynion IV continues to deliver solid issues that will keep readers thoroughly entertained.

From start to finish this was an easy book to read, it has spaced out the dialogue well, had solid action sequences, and great art. Readers will enjoy this issue and I'm sure the rest to come.

Detective Comics #958 has a focus on character driven story which is such a nice departure from the recent string of event driven arcs. This issue is fantastic!

This issue was fantastic. It has so many little things that can be taken as coincidence and yet have such impactful meaning to the legend of Batman. Not to mention that final page reveal!

Detective Comics #962 is a well storied and gorgeous piece of eye candy. Readers will enjoy the action and extreme power exchanged in the fight between Jean-Paul and Ascalon.

This issue was fantastic! For new readers it summed up nicely Tim's past and why you should care about him. Old readers got the pay off of seeing Drake really prove that he has taken himself out of Batman's shadow. Readers will love the final twist ending and won't be able to wait to see how Drake escapes his prison.

Electric Warriors #1 is a fun book packed with beautiful art from cover to cover. This is a perfect start to this series!

Electric Warriors #3 was a great issue, raising the stacks for the individual characters as well as showing how twisted the world of The Compromise is. Pick this comic up and enjoy.

I loved this issue as the readers will. If this is the issue of Harley Quinn that you pick up as a first, you won't be disappointed.

Everything about this issue is wonderful and perfectly dark. Harley Quinn is a villain, at least her roots are as such and this issue may be the start of a truly evil streak in Harley.

This issue manages to pull together all the various story lines and makes it highly entertaining. With a bit of wit, charm, and insanity Harley Quinn #18 is a real one two punch!

Harley Quinn's anniversary edition is a wonderful culmination of the history of Quinn and gives the reader a view of her current life. This issue would be a fantastic jumping on point because it will give everyone a glimpse of her friends and allies.

This issue is packed with gun shots, subtle references, and jokes. Readers are going to rip through it almost as fast as Harley rips through the Unconquerable 25!

Harley Quinn #27 is a great break from the flow of the current run on Harley. Penguin and his minions look absolutely terrifying while also being comical. Oh and the awesome final page twist is wonderful.

Harley Quinn #30 is a great read filled with intimate moments between a number of characters which breathe further life into this already amazing series.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable issue which pays respect to the late Muhammad Ali and opens a window for new readers to enjoy what came before.

Motherlands #1 hit's the ground running, quite literally. It is packed with colorful and mind-bending characters from other dimensions. Spurrier and Stott have opened the door on an infinite world of possibility with this comic. So far, it's a world I'd like to stay in.

View Issue       View Full Review

Motherlands #3 is a relaxing read that will have people laughing at times and slack-jawed at others. Be sure to pick up this issue!

View Issue       View Full Review

Motherlands #4 has continued the simple but powerful story of Tabitha and Selena being forced together after a life of estrangement. The way Spurrier, Stott and Woods, have made these characters look and feel so human is wonderful.

View Issue       View Full Review

Motherlands #6 is a fantastic issue with a bloody, gritty, and emotional ending. Be sure to pick this issue up!

View Issue       View Full Review

This issue has me pumped for the things to come in the next issue, and the arc after that. It will be a shame if this series ends after this arc or even a second arc. There is a lot of potential for these characters to become regular staples of DC Comics.

I love this issue and this series. There are so many little things that make this issue feel amazing and readers will love it!

This issue is fantastic! It has absolutely everything great that this series needs. We get to see Kong Kenan expand his powers, Superman being amazing, and tons of action. Not to mention a perfect bonding moment between our new hero and the ultimate idol, and person he is meant to emulate.

From the get go, this issue is full of action and smart quips. I enjoyed every page and found myself laughing at the boys and Alfred quite a few times.

Overall, Super Sons #6 is a great issue with beautiful glossy art and a solid story. The characters that are utilized in the story don't take away from the focus on Robin and Superboy, which could have easily been the case.

Readers will love this issue, it is fun, fast paced and smart. The new characters are a joy to see and are great challenges for Robin especially, as they are his age but far more mature and experienced them he is.

From awkward hugs, to a little bit of star struck faces, and of course, the Teen Titans, this issue is great!

Brimstone #2 is a issue and part to Joe's story. We finally get to see him engage in a fight, even if he has the help of his human sister when fighting a demon of sorts. I'm excited to see where Joe goes and how he deals with the Salesman and his curse/deal.

The Ruff and Reddy Show #6 ties a nice bow on the series. We get to see what happens when we start to stab our allies in the back. This whole series had a great flow and knew exactly how to deliver the last lines in the script.

Trinity #13 was a fantastic and fun read. It was paced well, filled with beautiful art, and the ending will have readers excited to pick up #14.

Batman/The Shadow #1 & #2 are fantastic reads, they take into account various aspects of Batman's skill set as he investigates his latest mystery. The Shadow is a looming and ethereal figure presenting a great challenge to the Dark Knight. These issues have set a high bar for the rest of the series but there is no doubt that the series will continue to be just as great!

Batman/The Shadow #6 was an exciting, extradimensional thriller that took Batman out of his comfort zone. He once again proves to us that when it comes to saving lives or vanquishing evil forever, lives are more important.

I enjoyed the dynamics between the characters, especially because everything is tense and everyone is ready to throw punches. The art and writing are memorableand assist in expanding thedepth of Robin's character. Seeing Raven, Beast Boy, Starfire, and Kid Flash adapt to Robin, or force him to adapt to them, will be really fantastic in the coming issues.
