Batwoman #18
By: J. H. Williams, Trevor McCarthy
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: A new arc begins for the always interesting and at the very least nice to look at Batwoman book. This one guest stars Batman and what looks to be Mr. Freeze on the cover.
Constantine #1
By: Robert Venditti, Renato Guedes, Juan Jose Ryp
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: Hellblazer ending at Vertigo was kind of a shock and at the same time not at all. John Constantine was welcomed into the new 52 with open arms earning a spot in a few different books, namely Justice League Dark. The best thing about new 52 is DC embracing the weird and strange corners of their own personal universe. Hopefully, they can keep that up with this book.
Justice League Of America #2
By: Geoff Johns, David Finch
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: What Geoff Johns has done with the Justice League is kind of boring. What he is doing in this book is more along the lines of what I expected from him. Take something old and make it new through minutiae and plot momentum. Justice League just feels flat and is only worth getting for the Shazam back-ups. Justice League of America though has me excited.
Red Hood And The Outlaws #18
By: Scott Lobdell, Timothy Green, Mico Suayan
Publisher: DC Comics
Price: $2.99
The Lowdown: I kept expecting something big to happen between Jason and Joker. It never really did. I mean, shit hit the fan. Not the way I thought it would, but at least he’s still reeling from it.
All New X-Men #9
By: Brian Michael Bendis, David Marquez, Stuart Immonen
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: The old X-Men get new costumes. That should be fun. Seriously though, I never thought this book would be any good. All I kept thinking was how uncontrollably contrived it would all be. Proved me wrong though.
Superior Spider-Man #6
By: Dan Slott, Humberto Ramos
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
The Lowdown: There is a new villainous duo in New York, Jester and Screwball, and Octo-Spidey without his sense of humor, what is a vigilante to do. This is on the same level as All New X-Men. I was ready for this thing to just be awful, but it turned out ok.
