Green Lantern Corps #1

/ / Comics

After the fall of the United Planets, a new volume of Green Lantern Corps begins here with the Corps working to restore order in a universe where the emotional spectrum has gone out of whack, replenish its ranks with new recruits, and earn back some respect. With an extensive cast, the comic looks like it will focus on a revolving focus of a main character or main characters every issue/arc. Although we see the likes of Jo Mullein, Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, a rehabilitated Sinestro, and Simon Baz (among others), the main character in the first issue is John Stewart.

JSA #4

/ / Comics

Captured by the Injustice Society, Dr. Mid-Nite is able to escape her cell and snoop around a bit learning a few facts about the super-villains plans involving the Tower of Fate, Hawkman, and the Spear of Destiny. Unfortunately, after learning this (and doing a break good job at both fighting her way out and sneaking around), eventually the doctor runs into trouble she may not be able to handle alone.

SHAZAM! #20

/ / Comics

Separate from the ongoing drama of Billy Batson and his family, SHAZAM! #20 offers a single-issue story from writer Sina Grace guest-starring Jon Kent who is accidentally de-aged back into a kid during the Captain’s fight with a djinn. I’m a big fan of single-issue stories, which at this point in time have become a lost art in comics. SHAZAM! #20 delivers a fun pairing allowing Jonathan to rediscover a bit of his youth spending time with other kids, and even visiting a certain Boy Wonder (which triggers Billy’s fandom).

Batgirl #4

/ / Comics

The first half of Batgirl #4 deals with the fallout from the end of the last issue where Batgirl discovers just who her mother is working with. With an inclination to walk away, even if that means fighting her way out, Shiva attempts to convey the threat of the Unburied and why it is dire enough that the two of them need to work with current and former enemies such as Nyssa al Ghul and Angel Breaker who provide a bit more history of the Unburied and the war that was started with them by Ra’s al Ghul.
