Sheldon‘s (Jim Parsons) breakthrough scientific discovery goes to his head, but once he discovers the mistake in his work that led to the discovery completely by chance, rather than his self-pronounced brilliance, the scientist becomes obsessed with accepting no credit for his remarkable discovery.

The final issue collecting the digital comics reimagining the DCU filled with all super-powered heroines and villains comes to a close with more of a whimper than a bang with three separate tales introducing three new characters rather than offering up a final big adventure.
Of the three stories the middle one concerning White Canary is the most interesting as the other two don’t offer much in the way of diffrentiating the Ame-Comi version of the characters from their regular DCU counterparts. The Big Barda space pirate story is fun but incomplete and Mera vs. a female Black Manta didn’t do much for me at all.
The White Canary story gives us a character whose sonic scream is far more pronounced, making it impossible for the heroine to communicate at anything above a whisper (unless she wants to destroy all surrounding structures). I’ve enjoyed this series, and even if the final issue is one of the weakest, I’ll still miss it’s optimism and gleeful spirit. Once again, this is something the New 52 could use far more of… as well as more strong (preferably not insane) female characters. For fans.

As the disembodied spirit of Supergirl fights to regain her body, Brainiac attacks I’noxia, and the restored Zor-El discovers his mistake at sacrificing his daughter to regain his own humanity.
Supergirl #24 wraps up the Cyborg-Superman storyline with the return of both the New 52 versions of the villain and the comic’s heroine. Although the planet is lost to Brainiac’s attack, Supergirl’s ordeal has cured her of the Kryptonite poisoning and both Kara and Cyborg-Superman are left unaware of the true series of events that allowed to regain her form as the villain, loosing the knowledge he gained as Zor-El, believes Brainiac’s attack is the cause of the experiment’s failure.
The comic ends with an appearance of an Oracle and the introduction of a Supergirl/Action Comics crossover (something I’m not too excited about) featuring “The Return of Krypton (something I’m really not excited about). I enjoyed this arc, but it may be time for me to give this comic another short break. Worth a look.

Fighting with the mysterious Angela didn’t solve anything, so in the latest issue the Guardians of the Galaxy try talking to the woman who it took all of them to eventually take down. Guardians of the Galaxy #7 reveals the cosmic event that brought the angel to the Marvel Universe (the same one Thanos mentioned last issue) as well as reveals her true origins to the Guardians as an angel of Heven.
There’s not much action here, as the issue is mainly used to introduce the character (finally) to those readers unaware of her origins. The interactions between the group while talking to Angela are fun, but both Tony Stark and Peter Quill push the flippant Whedonesque pop culture joke references well past the bounds of reasonable behavior.
With no reason or authority to hold her, the Guardians release Angela to Earth (a realm she only knows about through stories). Although the issue ends with the angel on her own, given the fact she appears on next month’s cover I don’t think it will take too long before we see her again. Worth a look.
