So, setting Czarnian physiology aside for a moment, Batman totally blew Lobo’s head off in Justice League vs. Suicide #4. While the Main Man won’t be down forever, Bats still put him down, and it was spectacular.
“Batwoman Begins” got off to a good and beautiful start in Detective Comics, and Red Hood’s first arc concluded with tons of fun. I also got my hands on Dark Horse’s Dept. H, and I was blown away. What did you read this week?

While parts of Bruce’s return are moving and worth considering, I can’t help thinking it’s just like a tax refund—giving something up for a year and getting it back with no interest.

Break from the Bat #11: Dept. H Vol. 1: Pressure
As either a deeply-moving, symbolically-rich character study, or an immersive murder mystery in an exotic undersea world, this book earns not only a prominent spot on the bookshelf, but an enduring place in the imagination.

Justice League/Power Rangers #1
While the story feels a bit simple at the moment, that’s not a bad thing: good guys vs. bad guys is the heart of comics and always has been.
