Action Comics #16Boasting "The Second Death of Superman" on its cover, "Superman" #16 by Grant Morrison, Brad Walker, and Rags Morales falls short of living up to its own promises.

Justice League #13Geoff Johns and Tony S. Daniel try to make an argument that the Cheetah is a foe worthy of battling the League in "Justice League" #13, but the end result falls just short. Maybe she should call the rest of the Legion of Doom.

Action Comics #13When the back-up feature of "Action Comics" #13 is more satisfying than one involving Superman entering the Phantom Zone, it feels like something is slightly off-kilter.

Astonishing X-Men #51Northstar and Kyle Jinadu tie the knot in "Astonishing X-Men" #51 and it's quite unlike other superhero weddings. At least for a little while.

Defenders: From the Marvel Vault #1The original non-team team pulls back together in this issue. It's a nifty little one-shot featuring the Hulk, Dr. Strange, Silver Surfer, and Namor.

Heroes For Hire #6Misty Knight tries to regain control of the Heroes For Hire network as she and Paladin continue the search for the brains behind Puppet Master’s manipulation of them. Spider-Man stops by for witty banter and crime fighting.

Avengers Academy #5A guest artist plus a spotlight on the least interesting member of "Avengers Academy" results in a good, not great issue.

Avengers: The Initiative #35The Initiative closes up shop, making way for Christos Gage's "Avengers Academy" in a few weeks. That's another review for another time. This review is for one of the last chapters of "Siege."

Guardians of the Galaxy #25"Guardians of the Galaxy" comes to a conclusion not with a bang, but more of a quiet thud. Or is that a really loud blink?

She-Hulk Sensational #1A 30th anniversary "She-Hulk" special is a nice idea, but two of the three entries ignore that word "special."

Avengers: The Initiative #34A solid tie-in that repeats a little too much of “Siege” #3 for its own good. It loses sight of what separates it from the other books involved in the event.

Hulk: Let the Battle Begin #1This book isn't part of the current "Hulk" stories by a long shot, but if you get past that it's entertaining enough.

Guardians of the Galaxy #21Conflict with the Luminals over an alien lifeform leads to beaurocracy, pregnancy (sort of), and a whole lot of headaches. Great comic.

Timestorm 2009/2099 #1This isn’t the year 2099 you remember, although there are some superficial similarities. Otherwise, both the writing and art fail to reach beyond mediocre levels of barely competent.

X-Factor Special: Layla Miller #1This second "X-Factor Special" takes a break from the regular title's narrative, but in such a way that will make the comic's fans not care about spending an extra dollar.

Iron Man: Director of S.H.I.E.L.D. #32This Iron Man title seems out of step with the character. It's a slow story that doesn't move the football a yard down the field.

X-Men: Legacy #210"X-Men: Legacy" emerges as perhaps the most focused of the post-Messiah Complex X-titles. Greg Land occupies the guest-art slot as Carey wraps up the redefinition of the title as a Professor Xavier solo-title.
