Action Comics #6

Written by Grant Morrison, art by Adam Kubert and Jesse Delperdang



The breakneck pace of Grant Morrison’s run on Action Comics continues as the Superman of the present day must team up with suspiciously different versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes to save the jeans-wearing Superman of five years ago! Whose hand is that on the cover? Why, the leader of the Anti-Superman Army, of course!
Plus, a backup by Sholly Fisch and Chris Cross that spins directly out of the lead story!



Animal Man #6

Written by Jeff Lemire, art by John Paul Leon, Travel Foreman, and Jeff Huet



Before he and his family became hunted by The Rot, Buddy Baker starred in a low budget indie Super Hero film. Now we get to “watch” the movie, courtesy of director Jeff Lemire and guest cinematographer John Paul Leon!



Aquaman #6

Written by Geoff Johns, art and cover by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado



Who sank Atlantis? Mera, the beautiful Atlantean assassin trained in the Bermuda Triangle, follows a trail of death and deceit to the one man who knows the ugly truth. But what does he want in return for his secrets – and how does it all tie into Mera’s own dark past?



Batman #6

Written by Scott Snyder, art by Greg Capullo and Jonathan Glapion



Trapped far beneath Gotham City and hunted by the Talon – the Court of Owls’ unstoppable killer – Batman lies bleeding and broken. With no way out and no one to help, is this the end for The Dark Knight?



Batman Beyond Unlimited #1

Written by Adam Beechen, art by Norm Breyfogle, Derek Fridolfs, and Dustin Nguyen



A new era begins with the debut of the oversized, monthly Batman Beyond Unlimited, featuring the print debut of the new Justice League Beyond! In the Batman Beyond chapter, legendary Batman artist Norm Breyfogle returns to draw the Dark Knight of the future with best-selling writer Adam Beechen. In “10,000 Clowns,” an onslaught of new Jokerz is plaguing Gotham City – and the implications of this chaotic clown menace could have disastrous consequences for Terry McGinnis and Bruce Wayne! And the debut of the Justice League Beyond is here, courtesy of the Batman: Streets of Gotham art team of Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs, as the first two digital-first chapters are available in print for the first time! Batman Beyond is a new recruit in the mighty Justice League, but the team will be immediately tested by a very Neo Gotham-related enemy! How will the team work together to combat this threat?



Batman: The Dark Knight #6

Written by Paul Jenkins and David Finch, art by David Finch and Richard Friend



Batman’s darkest fears resurface in this stunning conclusion to the opening epic as the Dark Knight confronts the mastermind behind the toxin being injected into Gotham City’s criminals. But the conspiracy behind the toxin runs deeper than he could possibly have imagined. Time is running out – and the entire structure of Gotham City’s society is at risk, unless Batman can find a path to overcome the man who once broke his back: Bane!



Batman and Robin #6

Written by Peter J. Tomasi, art by Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray



As the bond between Batman and Robin deteriorates, Robin is forced by NoBody to make a life and death decision – and Batman’s hunt through Gotham City to find them reaches a soul-searing moment that will push Batman to the edge!



Detective Comics #6

Written by Tony S. Daniel, art by Tony S. Daniel and Sadu Florea



Batman invades The Penguin’s floating casino as Bruce Wayne to uncover a brutal string of slayings – but he finds the chips stacked against him! With the Iceberg’s maiden voyage out of Gotham Harbor under way, the evening’s festivities threaten to throw Batman off the killer’s trail. And lurking among the rich and famous is a very ambitious outsider who’d like nothing more than to see Bruce Wayne lose everything, including his life. Murder, lies and betrayal are the name of this high-stakes game!



The Flash #6

Written by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, art by Francis Manapul



Struggling with the climactic aftermath of his battle with Mob Rule last issue, The Flash must solve a murder mystery that dates back 150 years! Is this case too cold even for Barry Allen? Also: Learn the origins of Central and Keystone City!



Green Lantern #6

Written by Geoff Johns, art by Doug Mahnke and Christian Alamy



With the tumultuous battle for Korugar past them, Sinestro and Hal are left at a crossroads. They must pick up the pieces of their lives. The question is, will they do it alone...or together?



Justice League #6

Written by Geoff Johns, art by Jim Lee and Scott Williams



The Justice League is united at last against Darkseid! The awesome consequences of this high-stakes battle will resonate within the series for years to come! Geoff Johns and Jim Lee end their historic first arc with a bang!



Nightwing #6

Written by Kyle Higgins, art by Eddie Barrows and Paulo Siquiera



After the huge reveal of last issue, Dick Grayson takes Haly’s Circus back to Gotham City in preparation for a large memorial show. But as Dick gets closer to the truth about his past, just how much is he really deciding for himself? And what does the Book of Names really mean? It all builds to a head here...just in time for a twist that will leave your jaw on the floor!



Red Lanterns #6

Written by Peter Milligan, art by Ed Benes and Rob Hunter



Rankorr, the newest Red Lantern, is here – and he’s pissed! Find out what happens when the red ring selects a human host overcome with rage and grief. Plus: Atrocitus and Bleez face off against each other, and an old enemy stands revealed.



Superman #6

Written by George Perez, art by Nicola Scott and Trevor Scott



Recently, an onslaught of creatures has targeted Superman, nearly destroying Metropolis in the process. And now...Superman is helping them finish the job?! Guest-starring Supergirl!



Swamp Thing #6

Written by Scott Snyder, art by Marco Rudy



The Rot is winning, and its necropolis in the American desert is nearly complete. With Abigail Arcane all but lost to its power and the herald of Sethe risen, Alec Holland will bitterly regret trying to flee his destiny as Swamp Thing...but even if he wanted to do the right thing, it’s too late now!



Teen Titans #6

Written by Scott Lobdell, art by Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund



In the aftermath of their battle with Superboy, the Teen Titans make a horrifying discovery: Kid Flash has been knocked out of synch! If they are going to save their teammate, the badly beaten and battered teens need to sneak into the New York branch of S.T.A.R. Labs – which means that this issue guest-stars none other than Virgil Hawkins, a.k.a. Static! But if the team was hoping to use the lab for some downtime, they are going to be disappointed, because now they must battle a new, young team of supervillains known only as 2.0! All this and the debut of Kid Flash’s new costume!



Wonder Woman #6

Written by Brian Azzarello, art by Tony Akins



Hades and Poseidon both have designs on the kingdom their brother Zeus left behind, but Wonder Woman doesn’t intend to let their turf war decimate the realm of man! It’ll take a big lie and some help from the mystery man known as Lennox to stop a holy war from breaking out – but what does Lennox know that Wonder Woman doesn’t?

Yeah Penguin looks like the Joker there, I'm not feeling that bane either - is he supposed to be a hunchback?

Love the Animal Man cover reminds me of the scene from Desperado after the Mariachi runs into Danny Trejo.

I'll give Brett Booth credit for storytelling and poses but he gets no points for faces and are we really supposed to be excited about Kid Flash getting a new costume.

DC look read Ultimate Comics Spiderman then give me my Captain Marvel!

Too many Batman books. Looks Like DC is headed in the same direction.

Superman sucks and I hate the art.

Action Comics is pretty fun.

JL is okay, I would like to see what happens with Darkseid but I hate the way he looks.

2 good Batman books one sucks and the other is just pointless.

AM & ST = Awesome!

No interest in the other titles...

Also Ive got to ask why the animosity for the animated series SteveRogersSon? The show was fantastic and the version of Superman was great. Loyal, Loving, Humble, Controlled, but the best part, with all that alien power, he was human.

Aquaman ,while good so far, Im still waiting for it to start goin somewhere.

Batman is pretty good. Detective comics is awesome.

The one Im really anticipating month to month is GL, issue one was pretty good, issue two totally turned me off, but after reading issue three I was blown away, I literally put down the issue after reading the last page and said "that was so kick ass", Im really loving GL.
