Yeah..... overall I got to say this is my favorite Superman event of all time, surpassing Superman Reborn and just below Death of Superman. The art, the action, the pacing all works for me. I like how Superman didnt just punch the villain to smithereens, but everyone had a big role to play. The Super family coming in to help Superman, and Lex Luthor deactivating Brainiac's ship was well-done. I am more
Superman #15
HOUSE OF BRAINIAC PART SIX FALL OF THE HOUSE OF BRAINIAC! Superman and Lex have figured out how to stop Brainiac and his Queen, but it will take a great sacrifice. Can they do the unthinkable to save their family and friends? This all leads directly into DC's summer event...ABSOLUTE POWER!
Just another solid issue by Williamson, Izaakes and company. While i would prefer less decompressed stories, the creative team nonetheless provides positive momentum each issue. This issue, like most in this run, brings a smile at some point. Looking forward to the "showdown" next issue!
Green Arrow #10
ROY HARPER IS MISSING. Green Arrow and Connor Hawke investigate what happened to him and what Amanda Waller has done to the rest of the Arrow family...which makes it difficult when they are attacked by surprise agents of Waller! Red Arrow, Red Canary, Arrowette, and Speedy!
Points for art only!
Catwoman #63
NINE LIVES PART FIVE! Selina's international tour of death and rebirth continues. Her latest crime? Going deep beneath the sea to rescue a film director turned brainwashed political prisoner from a bunch of undersea ne'er-do-wells. The only problem is the director doesn't want to leave his new home, and he's harboring a secret that'll make him leth...
Sigh, sigh. From a writing perspective, it's interesting how this run is doing more damage to Selina's character than her other infamous runs - at least prior writers were trying to tell a story about a character. This feels like just random ideas happening, but it really erodes who Selina is as a person in process. Why does she need money? Didn't she just teach a bunch of people to rob half of more

I really love this character and just keep hoping that something good will happen to her!
A huge swing and a miss! Why wouldn't we see a flashback story that explains why Diana does not want Clark to interfere or just do a reprint that supports why Diana is refusing help (except King probably doesn't have the receipts needed to support it).
Wonder Woman #7
FOR THE BATMAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING! Amidst their adventures as Superman and Wonder Woman, Clark and Diana take a thrilling journey into space to get a birthday gift for their dear friend Bruce.
Catwoman #62
NINE LIVES PART FOUR Catwoman has completed three of her impossible heists, but her nine lives are running out faster than she thought! Little does she know, someone with a particular use for disposable lives has been paying attention to her new mission--and that someone is none other than AMANDA WALLER! Welcome to the Suicide Squad, Selina Kyle--h...
Tini Howard's run can't end soon enough.

If this story needed to be told, I'm glad Mark Waid was the one who told it. Should kneecap any hack who decides they need to screw with Kingdom Come for the next few generations.
Batman / Superman: World's Finest #24
RETURN TO KINGDOM COME CONCLUDES! With no way back to their own Earth, will Superman and Batman have to witness the tragic events that led to cataclysm--or are they fated to take the place of their doppelgangers?
Blue Beetle #6
Blue Beetle's final showdown with the Blood Scarab begins! Only one scarab wielder will be left standing!
Horrible comic
Harley Quinn #35
Freshly washed but just as emotionally messy--I'm ready to finally solve THE CASE OF WHO THE #&$@ HAS BEEN SCREWING WITH ME!!! Now I've just got to round up a crew of butt-kickin' individuals to help me go kick some multidimensional space butt in time for me to come home to my beautiful Pammy! Plus, my first cousins twice removed Hannah Rose May an...
Do you like drama? Do you like stories of betrayal? Do you like family drama? Do you like meteors? How about all together in one shit sandwich?
Batman / Catwoman: The Gotham War: Scorched Earth #1
THE GOTHAM WAR ENDS HERE! The final chapter of this epic crossover is here, and Batman and his family must find a way to overcome the endgame of an ancient enemy! Can the Bat and the Cat set their differences aside? Is this the end of the Bat-Family? Lives change forever in this action-packed conclusion!
Pretentious beyond anything reasonable. King swings for the fences and generates a big whiff of hot air.
Danger Street #9
A true joust the likes of which has not been seen since medieval times! Both knights, noble in their quest, are ready to do whatever it takes to bring honor to their sigil. Witness Manhunter and Codename: Assassin fight to the death in a match of wits and stamina as the life of the Commodore and the universe hang in the balance!
I can give Tom king a lot of flak, I think a lot of his books rely on hitting you over the head with faux-gravitas, kind of like being a Neil Gaiman but without the depth or talent.
while feeling like he overstayed his welcome on Mister Miracle, was dealing with his own issues in Strange Adventures, and Human Target wasn't as good as Milligan's retool of him but still a decent read. - I was r

Since the 1970s? Creeper, Metamorpho and New Gods have been around a lot, comparatively speaking. New Gods most of all (even in Tom King's Mister Miracle), and Darkseid is in DC's most well known villains category. Metamorpho was in Outsiders and Justice League all the time in the 80s, 90s and even 00s, and the Terrifics in the 10s, among other places. Creeper has had numerous minis and a few other appearances.
(cont'd) the change in characterization for many of the characters in Danger Street is the least of my complaints like I say. Artistic licence etc. etc. It's just that the writing of Danger Street #9 was pretentious, faux-intellectual, and just plain bad.

It's almost a crime that this comic isn't selling 200,000 copies each month. It's arguably DC's best current comic. I've been praising Dan Mora's art since BOOM's Once & Future and I'm delighted he's on this book. Waid appears to be having an absolute blast writing this series.
An essential buy!

Maintains the incredibly consistent quality we've come to expect from this series.

This is my highlight book of every month. Like the finest of chocolate, enjoy it slowly because it only comes in small doses.
Art 10/10. Mora, do I need to say more?
