Justice League Unlimited #5

Justice League Unlimited #5, which features several heroes including Flash, Green Lantern, Impulse, Star Sapphire, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl all disappearing and finding themselves fighting threats in some weird nightmarish dimension, is really a lead up to the issue’s final panel (which, oddly enough, is given away on the comic’s cover?).

Uncanny X-Men #12

While the first few pages do play into recent events including the training of the young Outliers and and Rogue‘s concern about maybe being too hard on Jitter, Uncanny X-Men #12 is really a standalone issue that takes advantage of this group of X-Men setting up shop in Cajun country to offer a one-off story with ties to Gambit‘s past when a note appears for the X-Man.

Spidey Super Stories #43

Wayback Wednesday takes us back to a team-up between Spider-Man and Daredevil under the big top in the pages of Spidey Super Stories #43. After literally running into each other swinging around the Manhattan skyline, the characters will be brought back together at the circus where Peter is sent to take photos for The Daily Bugle and where Karen and Foggy take Matt Murdock as a surprise. What neither hero knows is the circus is under the control of the Ringmaster and his mind-controlling magic hat. No, really.

Zatanna #2

I was more interested in who was included in the pages of Zatanna #2 than what occurred. Mostly the comic features Zatanna popping up here and there with a magical sword shoved through her chest that no one else can see (making it hard for the character to explain the situation to others she comes across) and only the person who put it there can remove. At only the second issue in the series it does already feel a bit like filler.

G.I. JOE #5

G.I. JOE #5 primarily focuses on the escape of Duke, the Baroness, Cover Girl, Risk, and Stalker from M.A.R.S. Industries where Duke receives a not-so-nice welcome from Destro before Clutch‘s theft of a H.I.S.S Tank begins their flight to freedom. We get plenty of action in the escape including Duke rallying the group to action with the franchise’s most famous phrase.
