Angel #7 // Review
Angel #7 is a solid comic that doesn’t transcend the source material.
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #5 // Review
Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen has Bat-mania with issue #5.
The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage #1 // Review
The first issue of The Question: The Deaths of Vic Sage smartly reintroduces the Question and his supporting cast.
DIal H for HERO #9 // Review
Even a weak issue of Dial H for HERO is more inventive and more clever than quite a bit of what’s on the stands.
He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse #1 // Review
He-Man and the Masters of the Multiverse #1 isn’t a good comic by any means, but it’s still entertaining.
Batman/Superman #4 // Review
Batman/Superman #4 doesn’t offer much more than a well-rendered slugfest.
Absolute Carnage #5 // Review
Absolute Carnage has been a good event, but it feels unfinished, and the final issue ends extremely abruptly.
Something is Killing the Children #3 // Review
Something is Killing the Children remains one of the most exciting books of the year, in a year that has brought many interesting horror series to the forefront.
Far Sector #1 // Review
Far Sector #1 is a compelling first issue, and a great comics debut for fantasy superstar N.K. Jemison.
Gotham City Monsters #3 // Review
Gotham City Monsters #3 is full of overwrought dialogue and weird anatomy.
Event Leviathan #6 // Review
Gorgeous art doesn’t stop Event Leviathan #6 from being a disappointment.
The Dollhouse Family #1 // Review
The Dollhouse Family #1 looks exactly like a 1990s Vertigo comic, but it lacks the soul of that period in comics.
Hellmouth #2 // Review
Hellmouth #2 is competently drawn, if a bit hackneyed in its writing.
Family Tree #1 // Review
Family Tree #1 is a solid first issue, establishing the small circle of main characters and putting them in a horrific situation.
Legion of Super-Heroes #1 // Review
Legion of Super-Heroes #1 is a promising start to DC’s newest rebooted version of the future super-team.
Lois Lane #5 // Review
Lois Lane #5 is the comics equivalent of a prestige cable drama.
Wonder Twins #9 // Review
Wonder Twins #9 suffers from some sequences without an obvious connection to the main plot of the book.
Undiscovered Country #1 // Review
Undiscovered Country #1 is a solid debut, with some interesting themes and some fantastic worldbuilding.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #9 // Review
Buffy the Vampire Slayer #9 is a particularly strong episode in Boom! Studio’s hit-or-miss reboot of the Buffyverse.
