Last of the new comics of the week. It should be a warning sign that I’ve been less eager to read these comics, letting them sit for so long. Fortunately, both acquit themselves nicely, showing my reluctance to be unfounded.
Lois Lane 3
It’s still too early for Rucka to reveal what’s going on, but in the meantime, he fills the time with sweet character moments between Lois and Clark and a completely unexpected reunion on the last page.

| Mike Perkins with a lovely take on a classic scene. |
Batman: Curse of the White Knight 2
I think I made a huge mistake on this by not waiting for the trade. The flow is definitely ruined in the monthly format. Still, it’s a stunningly drawn book with some excellent action scenes by Sean Murphy. The guy’s a legit storyteller.
Olympians 3
This is Hera’s book, but the bulk of it covers the story of Heracles. Creator George O’Connor goes out of his way to portray Hera at a sympathetic character, particularly with the last story beat.

| Yeah, it's gotta suck to be married to Zeus. |
Time to do some half-assed internet research (™ Bill Simmons) and see what else O’Connor’s done in his career...Hmm. Mostly Olympians, a few other graphic novels. I’m curious to see what he does next, he’s quite good.
Regret buying: No
Would buy again: Yes
Would read again: Yes
