Another week of comics and DC Comics Rebirth continues. The latest slate of issues - Wonder Woman, Action Comics, Detective Comics, Aquaman, Flash - are all varying degrees of good as the line reset to pre-New 52 familiarity. Wonder Woman has been especially anticipated with the return of Greg Rucka to the title with artist Liam Sharp. If previews were any indication, this will certainly be one of the best-looking comics to emerge from 'Rebirth.'
This week there's plenty of great all-ages books - Sonic the Hedgehog, Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Book Two TPB, Ghoul Scouts, Goldie Vance, Gotham Academy/Lumberjanes. For mature readers, there's Roche Limit Monadic, Sheriff of Babylon, Think Tank, The Fix. Check out all of this week's recommendations and our latest musical slideshow. Happy reading!
