Look, there are a lot of comics out there. Too many. We can never hope to have in-depth conversations about all of them. But, we sure can round up some of the more noteworthy titles we didn’t get around to from the week. Today, Spencer and Drew discuss Earth 2 19, Batman Black and White 5, Green Lantern 27, Batman/Superman 7, Forever Evil: Arkham War 4, Avengers World 1, and All-New Marvel Now! Point One 1.

Spencer: Earth 2 has been in a strange place over the last few months, as a veritable flood of new characters, led by the mysterious new Batman, have seemingly taken over the book, leaving little room for old favorites such as Flash, Hawkgirl, and the Green Lantern. Fortunately, Earth 2 19 seems poised to bring them back into the fold, but it also starts successfully fleshing out its new additions, such as the kind, innocent alien prisoner of Terry Sloane’s — who might just be Kryptonian — or the tough-as-nails Queen Marella of Atlantis. The most pleasant surprise from this issue was the scene where Batman blindfolds Jimmy Olsen — who has a photographic memory and perfect recall — so that he won’t be forever traumatized by the carnage taking place. It’s a surprisingly tender moment, especially from Batman of all people, but it’s also a welcome comment on — and respite from — the constant gore of this book’s last few issues.
