Batgirls #9 give the cauldron break from big threats to have a little fun by setting a trap for KGBest. Unfortunately, playtime is cut short when they find the next victim of the Hill Ripper.
In our previous issue of I Am Batman we got ourselves a surprise in the form of Renee Montoya, but not only Renee but her alter ego, The Question. That's right, it's time for Jace Fox to have himself an old-fashioned team-up and who better than The Question to get that started with her pursuit of finding out who really shot Anarky during Fear State. While I do love me a team-up, I will say that bringing back Gotham characters after leaving Gotham so that this book could have its identity this soon feels like a misstep to me but maybe it's simply here to set up Renee's book coming down the line. Let's jump into this issue and see if Batman and The Question can get to the bottom of this mystery.
Like normal, I'm not sure if The Rising has happened yet or is currently happening, but what I do know is that Jon Kent, Superman has finally taken the battle to Bendix. After the previous issue where Superman and Jay Nakamura fought off a Bendix-controlled Senator, who turned into a giant octopus monster, the war between our hero and villain is going to kick off proper because, by the end of that issue, everyone in the world discovered that the person behind The Truth broadcasts was none other than Jay Nakamura, the son of the former President of Gamorra. Believe-you-me, Henry Bendix wasn't happy to discover this bit of information and may just take it out on Jay's prisoner mother. Let's jump into this issue and see what Superman is going to do to end this war before it escalates. Let's check it out.
Batman Beyond: Neo Year #5 reveals the secret mechanism the Gotham AI uses to control...everything. Meanwhile, Terry enlists criminal help to find a solution and take the fight back to Lumos.

Here we go! It's time for another Marvel Family adventure. The only thing though, this is Mary Marvel's time to shine, where our sister to the Mightiest Mortal gets to go off to college to figure out who she is as an individual and not just another face in a "Shazam!" yelling crowd. Let's jump into this seriously pushed-back series and see what's new with Mary Bromfield and how this ties into what we saw previously with Billy, the Rock of Eternity, and the rest of the Shazam! Family as a whole. Let's check it out.

Our Dark Crisis has gotten bigger and that's just not because of the name extension. In our previous issue, we saw Titans Tower under siege by Deathstroke and his Secret Society and even though we have two generations of Titans and an entire Academy, they were no match to the Darkness that is infused in Slade Wilson. Thankfully, or sadly, depending where you land on it, no one died in this incursion, and Superman, Jon Kent was able to show up in time to help save the day. Not only that though, but deep in space, we see the Green Lanterns are getting their act together by finding the missing Corps members, and thankfully the lot went and found the greatest among them, Kyle Rayner. So the Justice League is dead, and the Titans have been dismantled, but maybe there's still hope with Jon Kent's new Justice League and a Green Lantern Corps that's getting into the game. Let's jump into this issue and find out.
