  The ending drops a fresh mystery into the mix, reminding us the trouble in this universe doesn’t stop at the prison gates. That’s a solid way to close an issue that spends so much time talking about second chances. Radiant Black #44 is a superhero comic with a beating heart under the armor. It’s got good jokes, rough fights, and a reminder that being somebody’s hero sometimes means showing up when everybody else has written them off. I can rock with that. Read Full Review
