Batman: The Dark Knight #24 - Here we get a very long and drawn-out origin for Clayface. I preferred the treatment he received during Villains Month. This story seemed completely unnecessary.
Catwoman #24 - I have no idea what is going on here. Catwoman is caught up in some kind of sewer gang war but I have no clue when this story takes place.
Talon #12 - The body forms and facial expressions in the art are inconsistent, especially during action beats.
Justice League #24 - That's what I'm talking about! There is a two-page splash that made me fist-pump and cheer.
Aquaman #24 - This issue is mostly exposition. It was written and drawn well but I would have liked to see more action and story development.
The Flash #24 - We get a really strong conclusion to the current storyline. Every character gets sincere, emotional moments and Manapul's art hits every beat just right.
Larfleeze #4 - Everyone out there complaining that there is no fun in the DCU can find it all hiding in this title. Larfleeze's showdown with the Orange Corps is hysterical. Plus the b-plot provides some great cosmic world-building.
Red Lanterns #24 - This moves the "Lights Out" story forward but the art looks amateurish and needs to be more defined.
Justice League Dark #24 - I love the way J.M. DeMatteis can sneaks in great jokes and is still able to keep a dramatic tone. Mikel Janin's art is as strong as ever.
All-Star Western #24 - This storyline feels too gimmicky. I wish Jonah Hex was back in the Old West.
Teen Titans #24 - A storm of confusing exposition dump ends in an unsatisfying reveal. We get a peak at Kid Flash's backstory but not enough to make this issue worth it.
The Green Team: Teen Trillionaires #5 - Everyone keeps asking the same questions over and over. None of the characters are listening to each other.
DC Universe Vs. Masters of the Universe #2 (of 6) - Keith Giffen and Tony Bedard are not pulling any punches in what could have been a generic crossover. I also enjoy Dexter Soy's quirky art style.
Pretty Deadly #1 - The opening pages are beautiful and the style of storytelling is very original. I got a little lost in the middle but it picked up nicely towards the end.
Velvet #1 - The narration captions are well-written. I love it when you leave a book knowing everything and nothing at the same time. There is a brief essay on Spy novels at the back that is also a great read.
