Event Leviathan #1 Review (Brian Michael Bendis, Alex Maleev)

Talia Al-Ghul and her gang of baddies, Leviathan, are up to no good again. After blowing up a Coast City building, leaving Steve Trevor the only survivor, it’s down to DC’s finest detectives – Batman, Lois Lane(?), Green Arrow(???), and The Question(!) – to find her and figure out where she’s planning to strike next, before it’s too late. 

The Hustler by Walter Tevis Review

“Fast” Eddie Felson, a brilliant young pool hustler, travels from California to Chicago to take on the best player in the country: Minnesota Fats. Will the young up and comer beat the old pro? Of course - there’s no story otherwise! 

Lodger Review (David Lapham, Maria Lapham)

A serial-killing travel blogger rents a room in some kid’s family’s house, destroys the family and, years later, the kid grows up looking for revenge on the blogger killer. 

David and Maria Lapham’s Lodger is basically Stray Bullets if Stray Bullets was crap! Lodger is a similar kind of dark crime story but not nearly as compelling as the material in Stray Bullets. 

Superman: Up in the Sky #1 Review

A random kid from Gotham is abducted by an alien and taken away - up in the sky. Superman to the rescue! But the universe is a big place - how will he find her? 

I’m such a big fan of Tom King’s Batman, I really wanted his Superman to be equally as brilliant - and it’s alright but also unfortunately not.
