"Weird but enjoyable" is exactly what you'd hope for a Doom Patrol comic to be. Can't wait to read this!

That is a seriously mental final page
Deadman #4
After last issue’s truth-telling trek through the tortuous, torturous terrain of Torment Town, Boston Brand must balance the scales and make his way to that…other place. But this ain’t the Heaven you know, man. Prepare yourself for an Elysium like you’ve never seen ’em, as the Deadman continues to unravel the mystery of the Soul-Eaters…while the Re...
Difficult to express the level of appreciation for getting doom patrol, deadman, demon and Jonah hex, all in the same year. Outside of getting Wesley Dodds, I’m not sure what else I can ask for from DC.
Doom Patrol #1
The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view ...
It’s weird but enjoyable. Great artwork!

This series needed to be this or focused on the younger members.
JSA #23
After the JSA disbanded in the 1950s, the heroes retired in order to maintain their secret identities, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t still people in need. Witness a secret JSA mission set in the 1960s!
Beautiful. The trademark Poelgeest sadness is in its bones. The sombre vibes of Precious Metal and Little Bird are felt, but this is its own beast.
I still can't believe it exists.
Thank you DC!

Great
Absolute Superman #23
Superman’s hunt for Brainiac brings him up against the Toyman, who may just be the most terrifying villain the Man of Steel has faced yet—and their confrontation will leave Superman shaken in ways he never thought possible!
The art carries this one.
Nightwing #141
The deadline has arrived. The curious citizens of Blüdhaven gather to see whether their hero will surrender to the authorities for the deadly crash that took nine lives. Nightwing doesn’t know what he’s going to do either. But one thing is certain—things can’t go on like this…
I first thought this was regular artist Jimenez, but it’s Matteo Scalera. I know I have seen his name before somewhere, but I can’t connect it to anything I read. Now this will probably never happen again, as his art in this issue is absolutely phenomenal. The layouts are bold and dynamic and reminiscent of Sean Gordon Murphy sometimes, while not being a copy. The colors by Tomeu Morey complement more
Batman #13
Somewhere in the headquarters of the Gotham City Police Department, Vandal Savage hides a chemical weapon designed to kill Poison Ivy…but if Ivy dies, there will be no ending the bad night of Bad Seeds, for Gotham City or anywhere else. No power. No comms. A heavily-armed private militia tasked with bringing him down on orders of the worst person i...
Very good issue. Perhaps my favorite of the series so far.
It’s been a slow book for the flash but this is good.
Absolute Flash #18
Central City is thrown into chaos as DEO Agent Hunter Zolomon comes to town. Can Wally protect his new home and friends, or will the young hero finally be captured?
It’s ok
Batman: Bad Seeds: Sunset #1
Gotham City’s new mayor, Pamela Isley, deserted by her allies both political and arcane, is about to make a last-ditch power play that will leave Gotham decimated by daylight. Having already declared war on the Bat-Family and flooded the streets with his private, paramilitarized police army, Police Commissioner Vandal Savage sees an opportunity to ...
Entertaining even if it’s going nowhere.
Stories don’t need to go anywhere to be entertaining.
End of Life #7
Eddie Stallion has had his butt beaten, and now he’s locked in some sicko’s shack. With Eddie sidelined, things are falling apart in Pluto, George’s health is getting worse, and the Menagerie is closer than ever. But Eddie is going to get a big hand from the littlest of allies…
Avengers: Armageddon #3
CIVILIANS RIOT, VILLAINS RISE AND HEROES FALL! The entire globe is thrown into chaos as the Armageddon rages on!!! With the rest of the world turning against the Avengers, what will they choose? Stand down or fight against Red Hulk, even as he seems more and more unbeatable? And when an unstable new power takes center stage...the Avengers - and the...
I liked it more than the consensus it appears, but I understand their concerns. The plot itself was interesting enough to me, I’m willing to see how the next one goes.
Nightwing #136
A new era begins here for Blüdhaven and its hero. The city’s new super-highway was meant to be its lifeline but has instead become a hotbed of strange and violent incidents. Nightwing’s investigation into this haunted road drives him toward a tragedy from which he may never recover—and sends him looking for answers in Blüdhaven’s tragic past. Super...
Entire arc requires a reread to see how well it all holds together from a story perspective.
But the art rocked in this.
Batwoman #6
Broken by Alice’s death, Kate Kane was left in pieces. How did the fall that claimed her sister’s life lead to a rebirth in Petalon, and what does it mean for the future? Witness the truth of what happened that night in Gotham as Batwoman’s DC Next Level journey continues in a special issue drawn by guest artist Jeff Spokes!
All about the art.
Story is repetitive.
Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #12
END OF STORY ARC
Seriously... did you think they’d only fight for two issues?
I enjoyed this. But the art is definitely doing a lot of the work.
Maybe my favorite single issue Lee garbett has ever done.
Daredevil #5
...AND YOUR ENEMIES CLOSER! As the vicious attacks perpetrated by the monstrous and mysterious new figure OMEN hit closer and closer to home, Matt Murdock, A.K.A. DAREDEVIL, is more paranoid than ever - keeping his oldest friends just out of reach and getting up close and personal to finish what Omen started!
This is a great issue.
The Fury of Firestorm #5
Firehawk and Martin Stein arrive in Pittsburgh with a plan to save Ronnie from the Firestorm Matrix! But is Ronnie too far gone inside of his own mind to truly be saved?
Love the art.
On first read I found the story confusing.
My guess is I would rate this higher if reading in a trade.
Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #2
Basil Karlo tracks the man who stole his identity to the set of Hollywood’s hottest new film production, but getting close to “Basil Karlo” means sneaking onto the studio lot via forgotten underground tunnels and discovering the nightmare waiting underneath. Meanwhile, a new supplement is causing grotesque transformations across Los Angeles. Clayfa...
This was a quick read. I wanted more from the script.
But the art elevates this. Farid Karami is great.
Punisher #7
DAMAGED GOODS! Frank Castle's one of the most dangerous tactical minds in the Marvel Universe, but for all his firepower, he remains just a man! IN THIS ISSUE, one of his failures drags itself kicking, screaming and bleeding to Frank's door to look him dead in the eyes!
Awesome
Superman #40
The villainous Manchester Black demands to be resurrected and thinks Superboy-Prime knows how to give him his life back. But it’s more than that. Manchester Black wants to escape the world of comics and come to our world! It’s meta versus meta! If Prime survives, he will still have to deal with members of the Super-Family, who are not happy he want...
