One of the best cartoons of DC’s All-in Initiative is Sophie Campbell’s Supergirl. Aside from the fact that the comic is fun to read every month and embraces Kara Zoruel’s Silver Age history in the best ways, it also expands the Steel’s supporting cast and the Girls of the World. It’s also a manga that still portrays deeper characters, even in a more humorous moment. In Supergirl #5, Campbell takes a break from focusing on Kara and her friends Lena Luther and Lesla Rah, focusing on her life’s super pet. Along with guest artists Paulina Ganuci and Rosi Kempe, Campbell…
Everything about Absolute Batman grows to the way Bane breaks Batman. That’s the case with the absolute Batman #11, but it turns out it wasn’t really realistic, and instead, Bane does something even worse. Targeting Blues’ friends.

Crying about the climate crisis, he appears to be angry with the…
Since Jason Todd Red Hood was taken from the grave in the 2000s, DC has consistently struggled to figure out what to do with Batman’s infamous dead Robin. This was only exacerbated by a flashpoint reboot when DC tried to sell Jason essentially as a “cooler” trigger happy version of Dick Grayson. Since then, Jason has been featured in both solo adventure and Batman Family storylines, but has not been in the way of the storyline that determines outstanding runs and characters in the veins of Batman: Owls Court of Scott Snyder and Greg Capro. During the all-in era, DC…
Part 4 of “Starbreaker Hegemony” is hot as the Green Lantern Legion, chasing Starbreaker over the stars of Green Lantern Entity, Green Lantern Legion #8, alongside his devastating army.

Below is both the war on the worlds and…
A common criticism of modern comics is that they do not have an original all-age title. The Rack is still rich in Archie, Sonic, Adventure Time and kids’ titles, but they are all based on familiar IPs.

And you don’t know about it, it’s a pretty solid debut! Security staff are on guard after the mysterious stones disappear from the “hill,” a secret location in Cornwall, England. They can…
