JLA CLASSIFIED #14

While Oracle attempts to locate the missing JLA, the team must face their fears as their foe attempts to plunge them deeper into personal nightmares. Warren Ellis, seemingly at the top of his game no matter the title, has crafted one of the best JLA stories in recent memory, taking a page from Grant Morrison’s run on the team. For any fan of that grand era of JLA history, this storyline is a must-have! Discuss

CAPTAIN UNIVERSE/SILVER SURFER #1

The story of the Uni-Power’s return to the Marvel Universe reaches its heart-stopping conclusion! Trapped in space along with the Gladiator, the Uni-Power faces its greatest trial yet when a villainous alien takes its power for his own. Will the intervention of the Silver Surfer be enough to defeat the cosmically enhanced alien and set the Uni-Power free? Of course it will be, but we have to tease you with the possibility of a bad ending, right? And as if all that dramatic tension wasn’t enough, it’s written by Jay Faerber, creator of “Noble Causes”, with art by Carlos Magno and Al Vey. Discuss

DOOM PATROL #18

John Byrne’s favorite series reaches the finish line, as the splintered Doom Patrol faces assaults on multiple fronts. Robot Man faces the ultimate sacrifice as Rita’s life hangs in the balance, and Kwon is left to face her own mysterious demons. Leave it to the Chief to build a gun that can fix everyone’s problems and still leave time to explain everything down to the very last detail. He sure is a swell guy, the Chief---he even talks to four-armed monkeys! Discuss

INCREDIBLE HULK #89

Bruce Banner’s been enlisted by Nick Fury to take down a deadly Hydra satellite, but its his big green alter ego that Fury needs. Banner prepares to head into space to unleash the Hulk, but little does he realize that this jaunt may well propel him into one of the Jade Giant’s biggest adventures! And when he learns the truth about the Hydra satellite, things may never be the same! Ever, ever, ever. No, really, we mean that. Discuss

SENTRY #3

There’s a lot going for this book---a solid creative team, intriguing story, guest stars galore. Not only does this issue feature a trip to the Negative Zone, a guest spot from the Hulk, and an appearance by Sentry’s arch enemy, it also contains some of the most hilarious Hulk dialogue ever written, and that’s gotta be worth something.

BATMAN #647

What could possibly force Batman and the Red Hood to team up? When the Black Mask invites the “Villains United” into Gotham, Batman will need all the help he can get, even if it comes in the form of a killer vigilante who may or may not be the resurrected second Robin Jason Todd. And it’s not exactly a team-up so much as it is Red Hood taking matters into his own hands without Batman’s consent. Won’t Judd Winick ever let those two just kiss and make up? Discuss
