I’m pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it’s a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means “best panels”.

Green Arrow #22

By Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, Marcelo Maiolo

Sorrentino creates a sense of disorientation with some dislodged panels, an inventive play on his trademark inserts of pressure points, impacts and other fine details.

The Private Eye #3

By Brian K Vaughan, Marcos Martin, Muntsa Vicente

In many ways, the most important character in the series.

The Superior Foes of Spider-Man #1

By Nick Spencer, Steve Lieber

A reasonable question.

Batman Incorporated #12

By Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham, Nathan Fairbairn, Dave Sharpe

“You may think twice before signing your child’s permission slips, Mom and Dad. Eyewitness News has obtained iPhone footage of the Goddamn Batman dropping in on Gotham PS 81’s recent third grade field trip to the Pretzel Factory. Tonight at 11.”

Satellite Sam #1

By Matt Fraction, Howard Chaykin

From the booth to the stage, lighting grid and the wings, all the way to the final presentation on the monitors, Satellite Sam showcases every angle of a live production, often simultaneously.

Avengers A.I. #1

By Sam Humphries, Andre Araújo, Frank D’Armata

This is both gross and extremely cool. Right out of SkyMall. I love Araújo’s depiction of machines as especially organic. Reminded here of Quitely’s body-horror take on Parasite in All-Star Superman.

Daredevil: Dark Nights #2

By Lee Weeks, Lee Loughridge, Clayton Cowles

Wonderful sense of scale. Of scope. Daredevil is absolutely swallowed up in the immensity of the blizzard.

Green Arrow #22

By Jeff Lemire, Andrea Sorrentino, Marcelo Maiolo

Often presented as laughingly over-the-top, our perception of Count Vertigo and his power set has finally balanced out with his own self image. Somebody get Oliver some aspirin.

Batman Incorporated #12

By Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham, Nathan Fairbairn, Dave Sharpe

Talia offers one hell of a severance package.
