Bruce Wayne has turned himself into the police, after figuring it's really the only thing he can do to get anything effectively done with all the crazy stuff going on.
Harley and Hugo Strange ponder Strange's potentially latent homoerotic power fantasy about Batman while she enacts her grand plan to escape S.A.F.E. headquarters with all the captured clowns in tow. Meanwhile, the puppetmaster responsible for maneuvering Strange into his position reveals himself.
Let's get back into the dramatic world of Action Comics, where the United States is on the verge of declaring war against Atlantis..... again.... because Atlantis holds an incredible energy source.... that also turns people into kaiju with worlds inside of them. Yeah, it's a bit weird but there are tensions that Superman has to help calm, not to mention he has to get to the bottom of who these refugees from Warworld are and what they might be up to incoming to Earth. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
Spinning out of the pages of Detective Comics, we have Huntress in a one-shot where she's going after Hue Vile....... well, she's going after the eye-worm infected victims of Hue Vile as Batman continues to deal with Mr. Worth. It's funny, we have all of this going on in Detective Comics and somehow a billionaire with a love for explosives trumps a rage-feeding-monster-man who infects people with an alien-looking spore in his mouth. Luckily we have Helena Bertinelli on the case though and her new strange connection to Hue Vile. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
The pseudo Checkmate story continues where Lois Lane and a ragtag group that is somehow known as the best detectives in the DC Universe have come together to take down Leviathan for destroying all the spy agencies on Earth and even though they'll tell you within this story how things have drastically changed... if you're reading any other DC Comics right now you know that they haven't and this title continues to feel too little too late...... not to mention, not very well thought out. Let's jump into this issue to see who stands around and talks in circles as we continue to learn about Mark Shaw and Leviathan. Let's check it out.
We continue with the Bat-Pack this issue as they try to figure out the identity of the elusive Red X. From what we saw in the previous issue though, it doesn't look like they'll have to keep hunting down clues or looking for people who know the truth because Red X was waiting for the Bat-Pack when they got back to their dorm room. So with that, let's jump into this issue and see the secret origin of the Bat-Pack as they tell their story to Red X. Let's check it out.
It's time for Jon Kent to take over the Superman title and become his own man. What kind of man will that be? Well, it looks like we're going to be looking at that with this opening issue..... Even though I wish we were looking into how emotionally and mentally damaged Jon would be after spending seven years chained up in a volcano with only a weepy Ultraman to keep him company. I guess I'll never get my wish though and DC Comics doesn't want to deal with the ramifications of aging Jon up but what we'll get instead is a boy who's becoming a man and trying to find his path in life. Let's jump into this issue and see what Superman: Son of Kal-El holds in store for us as a series. Let's check it out.
Let's head on back to Lazarus Island to see what's up with that crazy death tournament the League of Lazarus has put together and what our youngest Robin plans on learning from his experience there. That being said though, in our previous issue, we saw Connor Hawke throw Damian off a cliff and then being rescued by Ra's Al Ghul. Let's jump into this issue and see what some Grandfather/Grandson time does for our hero. Let's check it out.
