It was a good week to be a comic fan. The Next Batman #4, X-Men Legends #1, Wonder Woman #2, and Immortal Hulk: Flatline delivered a range of compelling stories.
Future State: Teen Titans #2 and the fantasy art ofStar Wars: The High Republic Adventures#1 shined, Dark Detective #3 delivered a unique take on Gotham City whileRadiant Black#1’s opening anthem hit a sour note.
In a relatable and fast-pacedFuture State: Superman of Metropolis#2, Sean Lewis and John Timms embrace the fact that Jonathan Kent will never replace his father as Superman, and instead finds a place as the Superman for a new era.
The Next Batman#3 premiered this week, and while the issue makes valid points about the modern justice system, John Ridley’s script tends to bash readers in the face with overt social commentary.
