52 #40 was another good read. This title just keeps getting better and better. DC has done a phenomenal job with 52. This issue delivered a resolution to one of the main plotlines running through 52. This is the first sign that the writers are beginning to wrap up certain long running plotlines as we head to WW III and the climactic ending of this title. 52 is a wonderful title that is definitely worth your money. If you haven't been reading it then I would certainly recommend getting the trade paperback whenever it comes out. Read Full Review

Marvel and DC Comics really differ. When you look at a Marvel comic book with a no holds' fight, things are messy. Here Batista drew a clean fight, although much of it occurred under rain. Looking at this issue without a Marvel comic book next to it, the fight looks spectacular. But comparing it with say, New Avengers #27, it feels dry. Nevertheless, the storytelling here is solid and it's far easier to understand what was going on in this issue, than it was in the other title mentioned above. Read Full Review
