This last volume of Ostrander’s Suicide Squad collects issues #59-#66. Between Superman breathing down their necks and a trek through a nightmarish jungle, the stakes are appropriately high for the Squad.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a huge improvement. If you dislike the filmmaker, this probably won’t change your mind.
With 18 issues left, the end is just on the horizon. Volume six functions as a bit of a soft reboot, reformatting the Squad into a freelance, mercenary team-for-hire.

Superman: Red and Blue #1 is more than another comicbooky action romp. It reminds us what it means to be a hero.

This month, I’ll be reading issues #9-#16 (Volume two for you trade-paperback readers). If you’re as excited as I am, then I encourage you to read along and geek out with me. Issue #9 has a lot going on, so let’s jump right into it!
