After an alright debut issue and an action-packed second installment, Justice League takes one step forward and two steps back as a marquee series this month. The cast of characters are almost assembled and Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, and Scott Williams hit their story and art beats with precision most of the time. More

Writer/artist Lee Bermejo (Joker) tries to tap into the emotional core of the Batman character and mythos with the seasonal graphic novel, Batman: Noël. What could just be a Christmas Carol-aping curio at best, ultimately sheds a chiaroscuroed light on Gotham's shadowy protector. More

Is the genre of a post-apocalyptic zombie-infested world a little oversaturated right now? Maybe. But Brian Ralph's art, sensibilities, and perspective make Daybreak quite refreshing, unique, and enjoyable. More

Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot (aka The Penguin) is one of Batman's more interesting rogues. He deserves a five-issue miniseries to delve into his origin story and the inner machinations of his shadowy criminal underworld. More

The Flash #1 may just feature the best art of any of DC's New 52 comics. Francis Manapul's kinetic art truly captures "the fastest man alive" in movement, tapping into the speed force in a way few artists have.
