Darth Vader #50

The volume concludes, wrapping up the Schism Imperial arc with Vader taking the power for himself and standing against the Emperor only for his master to offer one more lesson. Vader’s return to the fold wraps up the main storyline with various epilogues catching up with other characters including Vader taking out his wrath on Ochi and the reveal that the Schism was all a bit of theater for the Emperor to toy with his apprentice.

Superman #18

The Absolute Power Tie-in offers the fun pairing of Superman and Zatanna making a deal with Neron for a magical map that will allow the heroes to travel through the shadows avoiding Amanda Waller and her forces. For some reason the pair end up at the House of Heroes adding another super-hero to their ranks and briefly finding Konfusion (the Earth-3 amalgamation of Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern). We also get a separate thread of Lois and friends searching for her husband which eventually connects to the main story.

The Authority #2

Flashback Friday takes us back to a higher Authority. In their defense of London, The Authority #2 shows us just how scary powerful the group is that Jenny Sparks has assembled culminating in her electrocuting and drowning a large number of the Children of Kaizen Gamorra in the Thames. The second issue continues the opening arc with plenty of examples of the team kicking some serious ass together. It’s in the quiet aftermath, after the Doctor saves Apollo from going splat, however, that the comic really digs in to what makes this group tick.
