"Heroes in Crisis" #1 meets and surpasses its hype with an engaging story and beautiful art. This one belongs on your pull list.

"Plastic Man" #4 is another gem from Gail Simone and Adriana Melo.

"Captain America" #3 balances action with powerful character moments in another exciting entry in the 'Winter in America' storyline.

In "Sword Daughter" #2 the series finds its footing on good ground.

"Batman Beyond" #23's blistering pace and eye-catching art combine to create an exceptional story.

"Death or Glory" #4 is a wild ride that establishes "Death or Glory" as a pacesetter.

"Immortal Hulk" #6's guest artist is an unexpected treat and makes the book worth a read regardless of how you feel about the latest developments.

"Marvel Two In One Annual" #1 is an unsettling story that adds to the tension and mystery around Ben Grimm's search for his teammates.

"Marvel Two-In-One" #10 is a satisfying close to an epic storyline.

"Red Sonja/Tarzan" #2 is an exciting episode in what is building into an exceptional crossover story.

Relay #3 picks up the pace in a complex science fiction narrative that continues to impress.

"Extermination" #1 is a heck of a ride and it has serious potential, but it's not quite a must-read yet. Time will tell.

"Daredevil Annual" #1 is a fun interlude for Daredevils followers and a must-read for fans of Misty Knight.

"Dejah Thoris" #8 is packed with action and sure to please fans of the Princess of Helium and Edgar Rice Burroughs' tales of Barsoom.

A thriller with plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged.

"Multiple Man" #3 is filled with non-stop action and laughs but after the first two issues, we're left waiting for more.

"What-If" #1 has an interesting take on the Spider-Man mythos, but the execution falls short.

"Wonder Woman" #50 is a good-looking book for dedicated Wonder Woman fans.

"Avengers" #3 is an average story that might seem less uneven and more effective as part of a collection.
