Is the bromance back or will they be mortal enemies again?
Lazarus #21
The welcome return of Greg Rucka and Michael Lark’s sci-fi epic after a break while Rucka launched Black Magick (issue 3 is also out this week.) This is the finale of the current arc that changes everything. Forever is born to kill and fight for her family – one of 16 that rule the future. Will Forever survive the war zone, break her programming and have free will? Will her father be cured and what does it mean for the balance of power?
Black Canary #6
The mystery behind Dinah’s rock and roll road trip is revealed. Dinah’s connection to the child and band is all part of a shocking bigger purpose. Brenden Fletcher and Annie Wu pay off who started Dinah’s band of misfits and what’s her next mission.
