I must confess: I’ve not been keeping up with Justice League of America. Josh’s reviews haven’t been very encouraging, and I’m already struggling through one Justice League title at the moment.

Red Hood and the Outlaws continued to outperform (qualitatively—the sales are, unfortunately, another matter) many of DC’s higher-profile books. Detective added mental incompetence to the other incompetencies it has thus far given to Batman.

Suicide Squad #15
It’s no surprise that those elements continue here, but we are also treated to a satisfying conclusion – something that appears to escape many writers…

Super Powers #6
The look is bright and colorful, the action is breezy and entertaining, and the writing is both funny and reverent.

Teen Titans Go! digital issue #42
It’s at its best when it’s an absurdist comedy, and such an aimless issue like this shows the book at its worst.
