Assorted Crisis Events #7 continues the career-defining independent series with a heartbreaking story about a man giving in to a world that wants nothing to do with him. It's not an easy read, but it is one of the best of the year.

Batman and Robin #27 is an excellent example of what makes these characters shine, even amid the sea of oversaturation.

While DC K.O.: Wonder Woman v.s. Lobo may not be the main dish, it makes for a half-decent garnish.
