Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #52 cover, via DC Comics. Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #52 – Mark Waid, Writer; Adrian Gutierrez, Artist; Vicente Cifuentes, Inker; Luis Guerrero, Colorist Ray: The journey into Skartaris has brought some very interesting new elements to this title.

Superman Unlimited #14 cover, via DC Comics. Superman Unlimited #14 – Dan Slott, Writer; Lucas Meyer, David Messina, Artists; Giuliano Peratelli, Colorist Ray: As we head towards the upcoming Kingdom of Zod crossover, this title has descended into chaos in the best way. Dan Slott has always been good at balancing a large cast and going into deep dives on the competition’s iconic red-and-blue hero, and he’s bringing those same skills here to this tale of two Superboys.

Nightwing #139 cover, via DC Comics. Nightwing #139 – Dan Watters, Writer; Denys Cowan, Penciller; Norm Rapmund, Inker; Francesco Segala, Colorist Ray: I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a book take such a big level-up just from a direction change, even without switching writers. The first part of Dan Watters’ run was an intriguing thriller that fused the supernatural with the high-tech to push Nightwing to his limits.
