After much anticipation, Justice League of America: Rebirth #1 launched this week. With some serviceable setup at the end of Justice League of America: ConceptionJustice League vs. Suicide Squad, there weren’t too many surprises, but I still enjoyed Orlando collecting his team, and I’m always happy to see Ivan Reis’s work (beautifully colored by Marcelo Maiolo, whose name I’ve been seeing quite a bit lately).
All-Star introduced some new duds for Pam, Detective gave the world more Azrael, and Red Hood and the Outlaws delivered its most impressive issue yet. It was a busy week, but a good week. What are you reading?
All-Star Batman #7
The main story is a bit expository, but it’s a great example of Batman being human, and it may be the best Ivy has been characterized in years.

Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #7
I know I’m being a little ridiculous with this title, but it’s mainly because I find the work itself ridiculous.

Batgirl/Robin: Year One
The characterization is perfect, the plots are strong, and the antagonists are plenty, believable and entertaining!

Detective Comics #950
All in all, this is a seriously great issue. And at only 3.99 for 38 pages, you’d be passing up one heck of a deal.

Gotham Academy: Second Semester #6
If you were someone who quit reading Gotham Academy because it got so off-track, well, I’m happy to report that this issue puts us firmly back in familiar water.

Justice League/Power Rangers #2
If you like bold action and a traditional us vs. them narrative, you’ll love this all-ages pleaser.

Justice League of America: Rebirth #1
The characters here are strong, and represented well – solidifying my certainty that Orlando and team will deliver the goods over the next few years!

Red Hood and the Outlaws #7
If you’re still sitting on the sidelines waiting for Scott Lobdell to slip up, do yourself a favor and stop it. Lobdell and his team of artists have earned your attention, and they aren’t taking it for granted. Red Hood and the Outlaws #7 may be the best installment yet.

Suicide Squad #11
That’s right, “the Wall” hit a wall called “administrative leave.”
– Josh (read the full review)
Titans #8
This issue isn’t earth shattering, but it is solid, and serves as a nice prologue for what’s to come.
