Batman made quite a few appearances this week, but none was more memorable than when he lanced a mythic beast in the gut. It happened in the prelude to this summer’s Metal event—which is appropriate, because there’s nothing more metal than slaying a griffin.
My favorite book of the week was Red Hood and the Outlaws. It had its flaws, but it also had a lot of heart. Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps delivered another compelling issue, too. What did you like this week?
Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #12
In my opinion, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey is so poorly developed and structured that it isn’t worth your time.

Dark Days: The Casting #1
I’m just going to level with you all: I had to read this comic three times before any of it even began to gel with me, and by then I felt as bloated as if I’d eaten six sleeves of soda crackers and drank a gallon of water.

There are certain concepts that are great, and others that feel a little forced.

Supergirl #11
I think we know all the answers and that’s kind of the problem with this story.

Titans #13
Yet again, Dan Abnett proves that Titans is not only the best hero team book being published by DC at the moment, but also one of the most entertaining!
