Nightwing #139
A new prosecutor is determined to hold Nightwing accountable for his alleged crimes, challenging Blüdhaven’s once beloved hero to turn himself in to the police. As long-buried bodies surface beneath the city’s highway, Dick Grayson must confront the cost of his choices and decide whether saving Blüdhaven means finally facing the law.
This was a really good issue. I like seeing Dick Grayson use his detective skills, yes he isn't as smart as Time Drake or Bruce Wayne, but he also is not a meat head. The art and story are also very engaging and interesting

The hate for this from fans is lunacy. Watters delivery with similar aplomb to Dark Patterns. Dark, gritty and surreal. A dark mystery I want too see unfold vs Taylor melodrama.
Nightwing #140
The hunt for a killer in downtown Blüdhaven leads to revelations about the super-villainous architect of the city’s superhighway. But is it too late for Nightwing to pull back from the precipice before he does something he’ll truly regret?
Superman Unlimited #16
Zod reveals the secrets of his Kryptonite Kingdom. His powers are back. His empire grows, but it’s not enough. He demands more. No matter the cost. Tomorrow Man, Steel, Natasha Irons, and Lana Lang work together to develop a cure for the Kryptonite infection that spreads across the world!
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!
Entire arc requires a reread to see how well it all holds together from a story perspective.
But the art rocked in this.

Absolute Green Arrow #4
Dinah’s search for the Green Arrow Killer has led them both to discover the truth behind the Island—a place far more horrifying than either of them could ever dream. But most disturbing of all is who they discover there—as Absolute Green Arrow debuts the first appearance of a new Absolute take on a classic DC character.

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…
Nightwing #137
Haunted by a deadly highway collision, Nightwing restlessly hunts for clues in the ghost stories of Blüdhaven. When a deadly standoff besieges Blüdhaven Bridge, Dick Grayson might not be in the best state of mind to tackle it. Luckily, the World’s Greatest Detective has come calling…
Maggie Sawyer rocks. So Nightwing wasn't the lead for one issue - boo hoo. Seeing Nightwing from her perspective made him seem larger than life.
Nightwing #135
Nightwing must lead Blüdhaven’s stolen children to safety, but the Zanni won’t let them go without a fight. With Nightwing-Prime at his side, the battle reaches its breaking point and sacrifices must be made! But while the city takes its first steps toward recovery, a darker plan begins to take shape in Blüdhaven’s halls of power…Don’t miss the iss...
This run has really opened my eyes to the depth of Cassies character.
No Man's Land made this essential. Tate Brombell has really carved out something special here.
Batgirl #21
There’s been a murder, and the only clues are buried deep within Batgirl’s memories, along with the phrase “forget me not.” Now locked in a prison of her past, Cassandra Cain must uncover the killer before it’s too late, but as she relives her time with David Cain again and again, will she solve the murder in time…or lose hermind completely?
This was a wonderful first ark. This is the most compelling I've found Deathstroke in years.
Marvel really have nothing on DC at the moment. Even DCs non Absolute lines are killing it.
Deathstroke: The Terminator #6
Ravager’s life hangs in the balance as Deathstroke fights for his future against…Deathstroke?! Will this mystery doppelgänger succeed in taking literally everything from him? Can the city caught in their crosshairs survive two Deathstokes? Or will it be the end of everything?
Fantastic to see Zoom. Wally now considering becoming an actual hero is a nice change of pace for the darker Absolute universe.
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 took a little while, but a truly 5-star issue of Absolute Flash has finally arrived. Free of the usual pacing issues, the story flows smoothly and you can really feel the stakes and the characters' anxieties. The introduction of the two new characters was excellent. I loved the powers and the characterization of Hunter Zolomon. I loved everything I saw here.

This is close to the darker vibe of Absolute Batman. As such, it's now my second favourite in the Absolute line. All of which, are superb.

Shadow of the Batgirl #1
Cassandra Cain, teenage assassin, isn't exactly Batgirl material...not yet, at least. But with Batgirl missing from Gotham City, can Cassandra defy her destiny and take on a heroic mantle of her very own? She'll have to go through an identity crisis of epic proportions to find out.
After a soul-shattering moment that sends Cass reeling, she'll ...
Good Devils Dont Play Fair With Evil #1
From Nick Dragotta (East of West, Absolute Batman) and David Brothers (Time Waits) comes three tales that hit like a truck. Who will rule the roost in the post-apocalypse? Will the greatest boxer alive actually live up to his self-proclaimed legend? And just who will survive in America?
So Ivy just has a thing with any attractive female that rocks up.
Willow simply had to have Ivy and Bella kiss.
Same pattern every time.
Her relationship with Harley clearly isn't as special as purported as Ivy's eye seems to wander incessantly.
It's a shame as this is a good story frequently kneecaped by confusing romantic drama. Trying to convince you Ivy and Harl

Poison Ivy #29
Poison Ivy ventures into the wilds of Washington to uncover the true identity of the Order of the Green Knight's mysterious leader! But when Pamela hears what they have to say, will she decide to stop ?ghting and embrace their mission...or will she burn the operation down once and for all?
I really enjoyed it until the very last page. I didn't want them to invest even more in Stein's characterization. I know it wasn't Lemire who started it, but insisting on it makes him even more irredeemable, if he isn't already. I loved the flashbacks, they bring a sense of nostalgia and lightness to a story that is otherwise dark. I want to see how it all concludes.
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?
