The future members of the next-generation Atari Force continue their separate adventures, including a battle between Dart and a warbeast. This well-written series from Gerry Conway starts coming into focus, while the art, from underrated star José Luis García-López, is excellent right out of the gate. [More]

Superman finds himself going toe to toe with Captain Thunder, a Captain Marvel analogue turned inexplicably evil. This outing from Elliot S. Maggin, Curt Swan and Bob Oksner never quite escapes its own oddness. [More]

When Darkseid resurrects Dark Phoenix, the X-Men and Teen Titans must join forces in an effort to save the universe. The best of the Big Two’s Bronze Age crossovers, from the A-list creative team of Chris Claremont, Walter Simonson and Terry Austin. [More]

Returning from an interstellar mission, Superman finds himself trapped on an Earth where everyone has changed sexes. This lightweight relic from Martin Pasko and Curt Swan isn’t bad, but it’s not very entertaining, either. [More]

Intent on tracking down his own killer, Deadman learns a lesson about the cost of vengeance from the Phantom Stranger. A fairly weak story from Arnold Drake gets a nice boost from an early effort by artist Mike Grell. [More]

When the relocation of ancient statues puts the Immortals of Cy-Tor at risk, the aliens are forced into action against Batman, Robin and Superman. This snoozy story from Bob Haney has its moments, but bland art from Curt Swan and Al Milgrom doesn’t help this dated affair. [More]

B-list villain Dr. Death holds Gotham – including Batman and Robin – hostage with a deadly allergen. A surprisingly weak 45th-anniversary outing for DC’s flagship Detective Comics. Creative talent includes Gerry Conway, Gene Colan, Klaus Janson and others. [More]

With the team down to just 21 members, the Legion considers the current crop of Legion Academy cadets. It’s another character-driven, transitional issue – the kind of comic Paul Levitz and Keith Giffen do very well. [More]

A magazine editor’s search for the truth about how criminals are meeting their gruesome ends leads him to the Spectre. Michael Fleisher pulls out the buzz for this gruesome-but-simple tale, which features gorgeous art from Jim Aparo. [More]

Lois Lane finds herself with a rival for Superman’s affection: a sentient, alien tree with erotic dreams of world domination. Yes, you read that right. Cary Bates, Werner Roth and Vince Colletta’s kitschy concoction makes for a fun lead story. [More]
