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] Reviews (DC) 
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] Reviews (Other Publishers)

Princess Diana inspires some of history’s greatest heroes to help the Amazons repel Ares’ invasion of Paradise Island. This issue reprints a surprisingly epic adventure from Wonder Woman #183-184, crafted by writer/artist Mike Sekowsky. [More] Reviews (Other Publishers) 
After learning the alien threat still lives, Phoenix races to New York to stop the annihilation of the city. Heavy with Biblical allusions, this series, by artist Sal Almendola and new writer Gabriel Levy, still has potential. [More]  |
