Blood Syndicate #5 brings out the big guns when Rocket and Icon arrive to stop Holocaust's takeover of Paris Island. Did you not see this coming?
Action Comics #1047 is a bit of a cooldown issue for Superman. Mongul is no more and with that Superman can finally return back home and not only see Lois, Jon, and all the people he's missed over that time, but he can get back to doing Superman things..... that is, until Dark Crisis rears its ugly head and snatches our Man of Steel away. Until then, let's jump into this issue and see what a post-Warworld Superman looks like and what he wants to do now that he's home. Let's check it out.
Task Force Z #12 ends a year of zombie shenanigans with Two-Face and Red Hood, but now we've come to the end, and it's time to see if our so-called heroes will be able to stop the evil plans of Mr. Bloom and finally pull that evil weed at the root. In our previous issue, Bloom with the help of Gotham and Gotham Girl had incapacitated both Jason Todd and Harvey Dent but thankfully because of a dim-witted zombie and a well-placed bomb it looks like Red Hood will be able to get another shot at taking down our title's threat. Let's jump into this issue and see how Task Force Z ends.
Batman: One Bad Day - Two-Face #1 finds Batman lending aid to a "reformed" Two-Face/Harvey Dent when Dent's father is determined to move forward with a birthday party clouded by threats of murder.

Batman / Superman: World's Finest #7 (re)introduces the world to Superman's short-lived sidekick, the Boy Thunder. When a refugee from a doomed world travels through Hypertime to arrive on Earth, the World's Finest soon learns Superman's origin story isn't so unique.
We're continuing our Dark Crisis tie-ins with this issue of The Flash and while I really thought that the Search For Barry Allen was our only tie-in for this title, it does make sense to continue on because since this series acknowledged Dark Crisis it would be silly to just go back to doing normal Flash things when we know that Deathstroke and his Secret Society are causing chaos all over the world. Now that Barry Allen has been freed from his dream world prison and is teaming up with Hal Jordan to free the rest of the Justice League it's time to see how the rest of the Flash Family are dealing with the Dark Crisis on the home front. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
Batgirls #10 continues the hunt for the Hill Ripper as Cassie and Steph work to crack a mysterious code found in their murdered neighbor's "eye." Meanwhile, Killer Moth makes a nuisance of himself, and Steph may have found a love interest.
The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive #1 ties into The Flash film (release date TBD) with a series of one-shots showcasing Flash's first experience with Central City's cast of villains as Barry Allen comes into his own as a hero.
The Jurassic League #5 confronts the dino-allies with a malevolent entity born to destroy the world - Darkyloseid. Can the heroes band together to confront a common enemy, or will their conflicting priorities tear them apart?
Superman: Son of Kal-El #15 gives the reader the final push against Henry Bendix and his dictatorship of Gamorra is on and Jon Kent and his Revolutionary friends are doing their damnedest to end this fight without bloodshed. It's just too bad that Henry Bendix is all too willing to use his puppet Post-Human army to their mortal end. That's where things get most disturbing because now that Henry Bendix knows that Superman's boyfriend Jay Nakamura is one of the team that's trying to take him down, Bendix transformed Jay's mother into a Post Human monster and intends to set his newest creation against her son. Let's jump into this issue and see how our heroes will end this conflict or if Henry Bendix gets the last laugh. Let's check it out.
I Am Batman #13 has the reader heading back to NYC to check in on Jace Fox and his role as New York's Batman. Previously we saw Renee Montoya show up as the Question looking to get Batman's help in finding out who killed Anarky back towards the beginning of this series and for some damn reason, all the clues point to the main nogoodnik detective that's been giving Detective Chubb and Batman a hard time throughout our Big Apple adventure. Let's see if things play out better than they seem where shoehorning a cop from New York to a murder in Gotham is our main story. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
Nubia: Queen of the Amazons #4 ends the arc with a final confrontation between Nubia and Zillah for the right to be the sole possessor of Sekhmet's power.
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #6 concludes the arc as the Gotham AI plans to activate its nano-virus to enslave the free will of all Gothamites. Can Terry find the help he needs to put an end to the AIs plan?
