By Meredith Finch & Shane Davis / Mark Russell & Ben Caldwell | DC Comics
The US Presidential election is nearly upon us, and DC Comics is getting in on the political fun/terror with this special Election Night issue. While Catwoman has top billing, this is actually a double comic with stories about two different characters, as alluded to on the cover art.
The first is a story by writer Meredith Finch and artist Shane Davis about Catwoman learning about the Penguin’s political ambitions in Gotham City and her relationship to the common people of the city.
The second is a 10-page story featuring the return of Prez, a short-lived but critically acclaimed DC You title about a teenage president. We’ve already given it a read and it does what Prez always does best, which is creating a biting parody of big political issues.
By writer Sam Humphries & artist Eduardo Pansica | DC Comics
The latest arc of Green Lanterns has introduced the Phantom Ring, a mysterious new ring that -- as you can guess from the cover -- has access to the entire emotional color spectrum. It’s fitting for GLC members Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz to encounter this ring because they are atypical Green Lanterns who express more doubt and fear than people like Hal Jordan and Guy Gardner, so they have a lot to explore with this mysterious mood ring. They’re new to the job, after all, which makes their stories more relatable and easier for new readers to get into, to boot.
But just because they’re new recruits doesn’t mean writer Sam Humphries is going easy on them. An old-school, uber-powerful villain showed up at the end of last issue, and he’s joined up a new baddie who is off his rocker and wants the Phantom Ring more than anything. Sounds like a great challenge for the rookies as they get in touch with their emotional side.
By writers Patrick Gleason, Pete Tomasi & artist Patrick Gleason | DC Comics
Superman is by far one of DC’s biggest Rebirth wins. We’ve already read this issue and can say that Patrick Gleason and Pete Tomasi continue their hot streak with a big clash of father/son duos as Superboy gets kidnapped by Robin, forcing Batman and Superman to step in and try to sort their boys out. It’s tense, dramatic, and, at times, downright hilarious. You’d think a book about Superman raising his son Jon would be more on the cheesy side, yet it’s been nothing but a fun, emotional ride that cuts to the core of family relationships and boys being boys.
By writer Alex de Campi & artist Tony Parker | Image Comics
This five-part mini-series kicks off a new spy thriller from Alex de Campi, who knows a thing or two about action spy-thrillers. Set in 1971 during the Cold War, Rose and Felix are two Russian agents who must travel to California to deal with a defector, but then they’re played against one another so that only one will make it back home alive. To us it sounds like The Americans meets James Bond, a slice of America with a side of spy action.
From De Campi we always expect something unconventional and challenging but also endlessly entertaining. And with Tony Parker of “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” fame on art, it’s hard to come up with a decent reason not to put this on your pull list.
Keep reading for Avengers #1, a new Thor book, and more!
