Batman

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?).

Batman: Dark Patterns #2

As Batman: Dark Patterns my interest is leaning more to the art than the story. The second issue of the twelve-issue maxi-series offers the return and capture of the self-mutilated killer we saw in Batman: Dark Patterns #1 who Batman successfully captures. However, due to the incompetence of the coroner who Batman warned Gordon about in the first issue the character (who really only had a single-issue shelf-life for me) may be sticking around even longer.

Justice League Unlimited #2

The initial arc of the new Justice League Unlimited comic continues. In Costa Rica, Superman leads a team of Wonder Woman, Mary Marvel, Star Sapphire, Martian Manhunter, Black Lightning, and Dr. Occult against Parademons. A wounded Batman arrives with even graver news about stolen children, sending some of the team after the Parademon nest and others in search of the kids.

Jenny Sparks #5

Taking break from the standoff between Jenny Sparks and Captain Atom, Jenny Sparks #5 works as something of an origin issue offering flashbacks to both Captain Atom’s origins and to Jenny Sparks’ recruitment by Superman and Batman. The latter provides the big laughs of the issue while the former helps reintroduce the character of Atom and restate the challenges Jenny has in dealing with him through her discussion of one of the hostages whose cancer he cured.
