Funny, wonderful artwork, and immensely clever. I highly recommend, especially to those who liked the brilliant Superman: Space Age.

Batman: Dark Age #4
Batman's world begins to grow as the people of Gotham realize they only need a costume to justify their problematic behavior. Fortunately, with Robin at his side and an empowered populace, Batman begins to turn the tide in his war against crime. But he isn't the only one preparing an army-Falcone is readying his own recruits to take the battle to n...
The main story by Arcudi is a fantastic Conan story with many twists and very good artwork. Conan as a military general is a very interesting idea, especially because Conan clashes with the man who hired him. Between the giant lizards, elephants, Conan as a thief, and a lot of treachery, you can't go wrong.
The Solomon Kane backstory is also awesome, and continues into the next issue. T

Absolute banger as always. Mark Waid somehow writes a sequel to Kingdom Come 25 years later, and he absolutely knocks it out of the park. Truly brilliant work and I recommend this series to everybody, especially fans of Kingdom Come

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?

The Justice League's losses are mounting as they battle to contain the titans from Legendary's Monsterverse! Aquaman and Atlantis confront an otherworldly leviathan, while in the shadows, the Legion of Doom and Lex Luthor plot their next decisive move to eliminate the League...but the emergence of the League of Shadows could spell doom for the worl...
Truly stellar work. I love the new Red Lantern lore, and the twist at the end was amazing. I couldn't ask for much more.

Justice Society of America #8
As Huntress settles into her new place in the present day, the Justice Society comes face-to-face with a long-lost team: the Justice Society Dark!
I loved PKJ's run on Action Comics, but sadly the final storyline has been pretty mediocre at best. This ending, as a result, leaves much to be desired. It's just not all that interesting, especially when compared to his Superman/Authority Special, which was truly excellent. Just a poor ending to a run which, up until issue 1056, could be considered one of the all time great Superman runs.

As the Multiverse's two most powerful families clash above Metropolis, which legacy will Otho-Ra choose? Will the followers of Blue Earth defend their treacherous leader, or their own home? It has all led to this! Three years of Act...
A very strong start to the storyline. I'm excited to see how Aaron uses Bizarro in the next issues

Action Comics #1061
THE WIZARD, BIZARRO! Jason Aaron writes Superman for the very first time, teaming up with all-star artist John Timms to present a startling new vision of the Man of Steel's strangest foe. When Superman's doppelgänger discovers a dark secret about himself, it unleashes the most dangerous version of Bizarro the world has ever seen.
Basically a perfect issue. This might be the best storyline of the series so far, and that's saying a lot, especially considering how phenomenal the previous 22 issues were.

Detective Comics #1074
DETECTIVE VS. DEMON! An Azmer demon is tethered to Batman! Now it's up to Bruce's inner demons to save him from this very real one...but what about the Barbatos entity that's been lurking beside them? Is it the real Barbatos or simply a figment of Batman's internal struggles, and more importantly...whose side is it on?
Can't ask for much more from an issue of Action Comics, just exceptionally well done. Even the two backup stories were both really well written. I'll be very sad when Phillip Kennedy Johnson is off the title in a few months as he is easily the best Superman writer of the last decade.

As the charismatic but volatile young terrorist leader Norah Stone reveals herself and her vis...
Average at best is a good way to describe this issue. The problem is that very little happens this issue, other than a ton of rather mindless action. So far, PKJ's run on Hulk has been surprisingly sub par, especially considering how phenomenal he is on Action Comics and The Last God.

THE GREEN GIANTS THROW DOWN! HULK VS. MAN-THING! Trouble awaits in the foggy bogs when a sultry seductress of the swamp lures unsuspecting victims into her trap! What is this mysterious creature's connection to the Swamp Walker himself? It's rage versus empathy as these two green goliaths come to blows - and even the Hulk isn't immune to Man-Thing'...
Wow, this issue was incredible. Artwork was amazing, but Johns' writing really knocked it out of the park. It's such an interesting plot, especially for those who have read Doomsday Clock and Flashpoint: Beyond, but those series are far from required. There are few series on the market right now that can truly match this level of quality, World's Finest and Action Comics come to mind. I honestly c more
