100 BULLETS: THE US OF ANGER #1 (DC COMICS)
Welcome back to the world of 100 Bullets.
The classic DC Vertigo series (1999-2009 & 100 issues) was a force to be reckoned with during its’ run. The unique plot behind it spawned many intense characters. None might have been more psychotic and cray than Lono.
ABSOLUTE MARTIAN MANHUNTER #12 (DC COMICS)
Ever since its’ inception, Absolute Martian Manhunter has not been your average superhero story.
John Jones’ life has never been the same since bonding with the Martian. The town of Middleton wasn’t ready for the inhumane attacks from the White Martian. Surviving that ordeal took its’ toll on both heroes. This lead to a growing personal rift with Bridget, Jones’ wife. His son Tyler was presumed a causality until fate had other plans.

FANTASTIC FOUR #13 (MARVEL COMICS)
No one has ever said the smartest member of the Fantastic Four is Johnny Storm.
Recent decisions (including that mustache) are prime examples why his plans need to be vetted. His latest idea is one heck of a doozie.
The City Beneath her Feet #3 (Dstlry)
The story Tynion is telling isn't really about action or mystery. It's about making a connection with someone you probably never thought you would connect with and figuring out what to do when that love can't be expressed because it would ruin the other person's life. To me, that's real love, and it's what makes this story hit as hard as it does.

THE DEADMAN #2 (DC COMICS)
All souls don’t exactly go to Heaven.
When an unknown demon devours an innocent soul, this offsets the balance of Earth’s spiritual math. Boston Brand becomes involved in finding out why before everything ends.
JSA #21 (DC COMICS)
No one is safe from this wrath of vengeance!
The Spectre has been without a host since Darkseid attacked the JLU in the beginning of DC K.O. In Jim Corrigan’s absence, a void has been created with nothing sustaining. Heroes have stepped up to offer themselves as sacrifice but one might have given the Spectre the fuel for more chaos.
