Much like a true grifter, Liefeld and Tieri have been holding this issue close to their vest. After a frustrating start to their run, they bring their first arc to a close in grand fashion. Despite all the previous complaints about their run they manage to bring it all together and give us a nice conclusion while still setting up more for future events. Finally, a Grifter issue that I really enjoyed!
Stormwatch #12
Stormwatch hits a year of being on the stands in grand fashion. As the solicitation lets us know, Martian Manhunter isn’t sticking around anymore and the way in which he decides to leave is heart-breaking. It’s this kind of emotion that keeps this title in the tops books I pick up each month.
Voodoo #11
The countdown continues as we near the end of this series. The story is leading to the inevitable confrontation but the surprises and big revelations of the earlier issues are non-existence. Ultimately, the one factor left that’s the most interesting is how will the issue of two Voodoo’s existing in the DCU be solved?
Ravagers #3
Ravagers continues to prove its a fresh new book in the New 52. It also takes time to introduce an old Teen Titans villain into the mix and even starts alluding to storylines started over in Animal Man and Swamp Thing. It’s unexpected connections to the rest of the DCU that are keeping this book interesting and reminding us just how inter-connected the New 52 has been.
