House of Mystery #3
Thu, July 3rd, 2008
The story-within-a-story for "House of Mystery" still doesn't seem to fit with the greater whole, but it's hard to complain when the main story is so entertaining.
Batman #678

The Incredible Hercules #119
Tue, June 24th, 2008

Two issues into Bruce Jones's debut as the new writer of "Checkmate", and it couldn't be further from what we've seen on the book so far.
The Brave and the Bold #14
Thu, June 19th, 2008
"Brave and the Bold" teams up Deadman with Green Arrow -- another odd combination of characters that leads to great results. Mark Waid and Scott Kolins give you lots of superhero bang for your buck.
RASL #2

Tiny Titans #5
Wed, June 18th, 2008
"Tiny Titans" is the kind of comic the world needs more of. It's reverential without being slavish. It's cute and all-ages appropriate. And it's very cute.

Tue, June 17th, 2008
Jonathan Hickman's text-heavy, concept-heavy superhero comic is worth a look.

A new "Action Comics" storyline makes a great starting point for a great title.

Wolverine #66
Mon, June 16th, 2008
McNiven draws a nice elderly Wolverine, but Millar's story is a ridiculous parody of a post-apocalyptic Western.
The Amazing Spider-Man #562
Mon, June 16th, 2008
Mice McKone makes his "Amazing" debut, as the series' new direction comes together to create classic Spider-Man stories.
Pilot Season: Genius #1
Mon, June 16th, 2008
Top Cow's latest Pilot Season entry is uneven, incomplete, and not interesting enough to warrant a vote for an on-going series.
Clandestine #5
Fri, June 13th, 2008
The finale of this family-centric mini-series feels like three issues packed into one.
