Ame-Comi Girls #5 (featuring Supergirl)After a brief introduction of the destruction of Krypton, the final issue of Ame-Comi Girls picks up from last month’s cliffhanger as Power Girl and the newly arrived Supergirl fight against a female force of Manhunters is put on hold by the arrival of Brainiac.

The Manhunters free the two Kryptonians to help prevent the destruction of Earth and get a little help with the arrival of the Flash, Steel, Catwoman, and Robin. However, things get far more complicated when Braniac bends Supergirl to her will with the use of Black Kryptonite (and a costume quick change) and sends Supergirl out to stop the heroes.

Once again this all-female version of the DCU provides tons of action and a sense of craziness and goofiness missing in far to much of the New 52. The issue ends with the promise of an all new series beginning next week and a Dark Supergirl/Wonder Woman throwdown to kick things off. Worth a look.

[DC, $3.99]

Detective Comics #17

/ / Comics

Detective Comics #17While trying to hunt down and stop the Merrymaker and the League of Smiles before the Joker-obsessed group adds to the list of victims, Batman searches the past of the sadistic Dr. Byron Meredith who once treated all members of the group while employed as a doctor at Arkham Asylum.

Batman tracks the three mentally-unstable members of the League to the Gotham Children’s Hospital where he also finds the Merrymaker and reveals to his fairly angry followers the true reason behind the League’s murder spree. The issue also includes a backup story involving Meredith’s time at Arkham, how he used the Joker to further his own career, and the reasons behind his elaborate hoax.

Unlike much of the endless teasing, Bat-Family bickering, and grotesque nature of Death of the Family, the Merrymaker storlyine involves Batman doing a bit of old fashioned detective work and using his brains to take down another threat to Gotham City. Worth a look.
