Detective Comics #959 comic reviewOn one hand Detective Comics #959 is a middle issue of an Azrael arc. I’ll be honest, that’s not going to grab my attention or keep it, by itself, for that long.

Bizarro #4The six-issue mini-series centering on the bizarre friendship between Bizarro and Jimmy Olsen continues when the unlikely pair run into Zatanna in Bizarro #4. The madcap adventures from writer Heath Corson and artist Gustavo Duarte (with a little help from Darwyn Cooke) get a little magical boost to the proceedings with this issue.

Bizarro #4 features three DC characters I enjoy but often dislike how they are used within the DCU. This issue allows Jimmy to be a troublemaker, Bizarro to show some humanity, and Zatanna to shine without getting lost in a grim Vertigo-esque plot.
