Locke and Key: Dog Days is like coming home for fans of the original comic, even if the visit is all too brief.

Miles Morales: Spider-Man #12 // Review
Miles Morales: Spider-Man remains one of Marvel’s more consistent titles, and the return of artist Javier Garrón means a return to form for this issue.
Ghost Rider #2 // Review
Ghost Rider #2 is a mixed bag, with baffling character motivations and uneven art.
Basketful of Heads #1 // Review
Basketful of Heads #1 is an auspicious launch of DC’s new Hill House label.
The Sandman Universe Presents Hellblazer #1 // Review
The Sandman Universe Presents Hellblazer #1 is a strong reintroduction to John Constantine.
Harleen #2 // Review
Harleen #2 is a solid book, depicting the title character’s descent into bad deeds, with a disturbing flash forward reminding us of what’s to come.
Dial H for HERO #8 // Review
Dial H for HERO #8 is an excellent comic. It has heart, it digs deep into character, and it plays with the form in an exciting way. What more could you want?
Batman/Superman #3 // Review
Batman/Superman #3 is not deep, but it’s a fun ride with spectacle galore.
Angel #6 // Review
Angel #6 is the strongest issue of the title to date, focusing on the supporting cast rather than the title character.
Second Coming #4 // Review
Second Coming remains one of the best comics on the stands right now. Fans of novelists Douglas Adams and Christopher Moore in particular should seek this title out, ASAP.
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #4 // Review
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen remains the funniest book that DC is currently publishing, by a mile.
Superman Year One #3 // Review
With Superman Year One #3 on the stands, Frank Miller has completed his statement on Superman. Unfortunately, it’s clear that that statement is “Frank Miller doesn’t understand Superman, either as a character or as a symbol.”
Superman Smashes the Klan #1 // Review
Superman Smashes the Klan #1 is a great debut issue, taking a firm stand against hatred and xenophobia.
Something is Killing the Children #2 // Review
Something is Killing the Children avoids the second issue slump with this terrific issue.
Absolute Carnage #4 // Review
Absolute Carnage #4 is dumb action, and thank God for it.
Wonder Twins #8 // Review
Wonder Twins #8 is a great issue that relies only on the circumstances of the Twins’ high school.
Gotham City Monsters #2 // Review
Gotham City Monsters #2 is inoffensive, but that’s about all it has going for it.
Event Leviathan #5 // Review
Event Leviathan has gained so much momentum that some of the parts seem to be falling off the sides, leading to an uneven but still entertaining penultimate issue.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #11 // Review
The writing alone makes Miles Morales: Spider-Man #11 still a worthwhile read, but the use of fill-in artists really hurts this issue.
Hellmouth #1 // Review
Hellmouth #1 is a compelling enough continuation of the story that’s been ongoing in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series.
