The Story: The fun, thrills, suspense, and drama continues! DC’s newest creation just might be the comics event of the decade.

What’s Good: Last week’s installment was great, but this week was even better. The stories progressed and improved in interesting and unexpected directions and  I still got a kick out of the newspaper style format. Basically the stories I enjoyed last week, I ended up loving this week, and a few stories that I was iffy about last week, I became hooked on this week. Case-in-point was Green Lantern, which I thought was one of the weakest last installment, but now it’s probably the strongest this week. The Superman story also was on a whole new level this week as it explored his relationship with Batman to perfection. Plus, the art was just jaw-dropping on this strip. The Flash story was also particularly memorable.

What’s Not So Good: Once again, the Wonder Woman story was something that didn’t attract me at all. I just can’t get into it and I really question why the creator had to tell the story so tersely. It doesn’t lend itself to this format. That being said, the take on the character is unique.

Conclusion: Choose your sports metaphor: a home run; a touchdown, score, goal, or whatever, DC wins big once again with Wednesday Comics. Lee Bemejo gets MVP from this outing.  With DC Wednesday Comics being even better than last week, this work warrants an…

Grade: A+
