the only reason this is not a one is because of Peter Gross' art. I hate Trump, and I am all up for anything criticizing Trump. That being said, this had to many expositional dialogue where Tom King is explaining too mucch on what is happening, and the characters are boring, the neding is sad, and it is a worse clone of Animal Farm from George Orwell. This had no subtly whiel also being boring at more
Animal Pound #5
What happens when dogs become too powerful, changing the rules in their favor, and systematically consuming every non-dog in sight?
As some animals do what they think they must to survive, democracy is more at stake than ever, and it may not survive.
Will anyone?

Black Cat #9
IF INTERDIMENSIONAL TREASURE HEISTS HAD A NAME…IT WOULD BE FELICIA HARDY! EVERYTHING is going wrong for BLACK CAT and VENOM! They’re getting away with their prize – just NOT the prize they set out for! And said treasure may turn out to be a hyper-destructive, Multiverse-ending apocalypse machine. I wonder how much Felicia can get for it?
I really do not know what is going on in this story. The pacing is all over the place, the prose dialogue doesn't make it engaging, and Tom King's interpretation on Wodner Woman as wooden, stiff, and isolated makes me not as engaged or invested compared to George Perez, Greg Rucka, Bill Messmer Loebs.

Now it’s up to Trinity, who finds herself alone as her allies fall one by one, to stop her childhood companion.

Lobo #2
Space, Spacetober 2X, 2026/SpacePRwire—In a move many are calling “prescient” and “a VC thirst trap,” a content industry leader has acquired a series of bounty hunting businesses and exclusive rights to their contractors’ likenesses, voices, and victims while retaining full indemnity for any crimes committed thereby. Lobo will be the jewel in the c...

This was a really fun issue. Again, Dan Slott surprises me once again. I like his writing for Superboys, and the art is consistently great

Do you recommend reading from the start of the run? I read all the KO crossovers and was a bit lost!

Action Comics #1097
The heroes of tomorrow have arrived in the past, and they need Superboy’s help! But what can a young Clark Kent do that they can’t? Find out as Smallville is turned upside down and the Reign of the Superboys continues!
Re-reading this in 2026 (15 years after the debut issue), it still holds. up well. Whiel Scott Snyder is more action packed compared to Alan Moore, I think this is the definitive jumping on point for Swamp Thing content. It's consistent, and engaging, and I would definitely reccomend it. This is Scot Snyder's most underrated comic book run in my opinion, and this doesn't have the heavy expositiona more
Swamp Thing #18
Dont miss the heartbreaking epilogue to ROTWORLD. Swamp Thing makes the ultimate sacriface in an attempt save the world from the Rot! This issue marks the end of life as Swamp Thing knows it!
overall this was a really solid series. I enjoy Jeff Lemire's consistent writing, the art, and his work on hte characters. I will definitely re-read this again, and It was nice seeing the Justice Society of America meet Wonder Woman. Might check out other JSA books
JSA #18
“Year One” comes to an end as the greatest heroes of the Golden Age assemble to face down this devious threat plaguing Gotham City and all of America!
Can't tell if you were thinking this was the end of the series based off this review, but, just in case, Lemire will still be writing JSA after this. Based on a past Substack newsletter, he's, at least, going to 24 issues. Issue #19 comes out 5/6/26 and will be starting a new arc called "The Search For The Spectre." :)
I did not know about this. Thanks Screaming Enigma, I thought this was the end of the series
