Justice League #20 brought us an interesting—if undercooked—take on the Groundhog Day concept. I still have little hope for the series with its current team, but it was nice to have a break from the especially bad issues of late.
The mystery of “The Button” continued in Batman #22, and if nothing else, I really enjoyed another book full of Jason Fabok. Superman and Injustice round out my favorites from DC this week, but I’ve also got to plug Black Bolt #1—one of the better ideas I’ve read from the House of Ideas in some time. If you’ve never dipped your toes in the Marvel pond, give it a look—it’s hard to be cooler than a guy who can bring down mountains with a shout.
Bane: Conquest #1
So there is plenty for Bane to do, and lots for us to see, but ultimately I just don’t care about this journey he is going on because no time was spent establishing Bane’s motivation or why I should care about him.

Batman #22
And that’s really my biggest take away from this issue. Cool and poignant, but ultimately irrelevant.

Harley Quinn #19
This book just knocks all your teeth right outta your mouth, your feet right outta of your socks, your brains right outta–well, you get the point.

Injustice 2 #1
Yes, Superman prattles on a bit to orient the new reader as to what has brought us to this state, but really, we’re left with as many questions as answers.

Nightwing #20
It’s a fitting end to the arc, closing a few doors and opening up a host of new possibilities.
