Searching for the other missing Lanterns, John realizes they may not all make it home.

Side Quests and Lucky Charms

Writer: Jordie Bellaire, Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad

Artist: Paulina Ganucheau, Jill Thompson

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: July 27, 2021

I love Wonder Woman, and while she has had more downs than ups in her solo books the last bunch of years, I keep reading and keep hoping for better.  Unfortunately, since Future State ended, this book has gotten worse and worse with each issue, and I am seriously thinking of bailing on it entirely for the first time in over a decade.  Let's see if this issue changes my mind...

Infinite Frontier #3 Review

 

Writer: Joshua Williamson

Artist: Xermanico, Tom Derenick, Jess Merino, Paul Pelletier

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: July 27, 2021

I have enjoyed Infinite Frontier more with every issue, and at the risk of spoiling things, this issue is no different.  While many of the DC books appear to be heading towards Future State (a bit too quickly, I may add), Infinite Frontier feels like the ticket to avoid that future.  Don't get me wrong, I liked Future State enough when it was going on, but I do not want all of the books to head off to that dark future any time soon!  So, what do we get in this issue of Infinite Frontier, and why am I such a big fan?  Let's find out...

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: July 27, 2021

Let's get back into the dramatic world of Action Comics, where the United States is on the verge of declaring war against Atlantis..... again.... because Atlantis holds an incredible energy source.... that also turns people into kaiju with worlds inside of them. Yeah, it's a bit weird but there are tensions that Superman has to help calm, not to mention he has to get to the bottom of who these refugees from Warworld are and what they might be up to incoming to Earth. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.

Batman: Secret Files: Huntress #1 Review

You've Got Something In Your Eye

Written By: Mariko Tamaki

Art By: David Lapham, Trish Mulvihill, Rob Leigh

Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: July 27, 2021

Spinning out of the pages of Detective Comics, we have Huntress in a one-shot where she's going after Hue Vile....... well, she's going after the eye-worm infected victims of Hue Vile as Batman continues to deal with Mr. Worth. It's funny, we have all of this going on in Detective Comics and somehow a billionaire with a love for explosives trumps a rage-feeding-monster-man who infects people with an alien-looking spore in his mouth. Luckily we have Helena Bertinelli on the case though and her new strange connection to Hue Vile. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.

Release Date: July 27, 2021

The pseudo Checkmate story continues where Lois Lane and a ragtag group that is somehow known as the best detectives in the DC Universe have come together to take down Leviathan for destroying all the spy agencies on Earth and even though they'll tell you within this story how things have drastically changed... if you're reading any other DC Comics right now you know that they haven't and this title continues to feel too little too late...... not to mention, not very well thought out. Let's jump into this issue to see who stands around and talks in circles as we continue to learn about Mark Shaw and Leviathan. Let's check it out.
