Heartwarming and very funny. You will be smiling and laughing through the whole issue.

BATMAN #39, Batman and Wonder Woman's relationship is put to test in this issue of Batman, though the story in this comic book feels somewhat lacking and in direct contradiction with the Bat-Cat engagement Tom King's writing is still very much respectable and Joelle Jones's art is endearing.

It perfectly captures Batman's essence.

DAMAGE, is an overall acceptable story. It does suffer from many genre cliches (a jealous ex-partner, the obvious, villainous government amidst others) and an undeniable familiarity with THE HULK so while I am hopeful for The New Age of DC Heroes this is, an underwhelming start for the new line of DC heroes.

It has definitely improve from the last issue, but many of the same problems are still there. I just don't feel like I'm reading anything in the rebirth continuity, it looks more like an Elseworlds story (Which by the way would be better). In the end, this isn't a BAD story but it isn't a great one either which what it should be considering the material and the amount of HYPE it got. I don't know if at this point I should be hopeful that the story will improve but because Geoff Johns* is writing I am going to keep hoping. (Also Gary Frank's art is Magnificent) Big Flash (Wally West) fan*.

ICE CREAM MAN, "It is now an Ice Cream Man" is basically the premise here (at least for now) but the comic book doesn't fail to establish it's own personality, tone, and argument. ICM establishes characters marvelously (Detective Hwan, Byron, etc.) and shows the beauty of Weirdness. After reading the first issue I am absolutely sure that I'm going to read the next one as soon as it comes.

Great art by Jim Cheung. But I think Scott Snyder shouldn't handle cosmology. Because he only connects his stories with METAL, the Omega Titans were too similar to the celestials and his sci-fi beyond METAL feels a little weak. Tom King or Grant Morrison should be handling what comes from outside the Source Wall.

Weird as f$%#...I love it!!!

King and Gerads deliver again in this crazy issue of Mister Miracle.

Perfect...

THE FALL AND RISE OF CAPTAIN ATOM This time-travel fiction is written by Carey Bates and Greg Weisman with art from Will Conrad While it does fall in some genre cliche with its six issues this story manages to make the characters in it interesting and endearing.

THE MIGHTY THOR #700, is a spectacular piece of art (by many "wonderful" artist) that pays homage to the designs of Jack "King" Kirby, modernizing them to this new age of comics. As for the story, we have to thank Jason Aaron that managed to take advantage of the great artist helping him in this project, the result is a superb story featuring The Mighty Thor, The Unworthy Thor (Odinson), The Ultimate Thor, etc. Rating out of 100% :96% 1-Art: 20 2-Story: 18 3-Design(Style): 20 4-Colors: 20 5-Lettering: 18
