Wonder Woman #788: https://aiptcomics.com/2022/06/10/dc...der-woman-788/

Diana! Etta! Siggy! Steve's hairy chest! Do we need more?!

THE VILLAINY OF OUR FEARS, PART 2
"As Cizko continues to build his forces, Wonder Woman discovers that she will not have to face the threat of this new Villainy Inc. alone. Diana is joined by friends old and new, including Steve Trevor and Etta Candy, now operating as agents of Checkmate, along with displaced Asgardian heartthrob Siegfried. But as Cizko continues to gain power and influence, will this be enough to stop the villain once known as Dr. Psycho, and uncover the dark nature of who is really calling the shots? Plus, a new chapter of the Adventures of Young Diana!"

Batman: Urban Legends #16: https://aiptcomics.com/2022/06/10/dc...an-legends-16/

If you need more Constantine flirting with Batman, hehh.

BOUND TO OUR WILL (part 6 of 6)
"Batman and Zatanna stand up against the curse they’ve been facing throughout their whole relationship! Ace and his Super-Pet compatriots make their last stand. Will the new Birds of Prey crumble because of their lack of trust in each other? And we go back in time for a Batman and Alfred team-up story where Alfred’s taking the lead on the action!"

The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country #3: https://aiptcomics.com/2022/06/10/dc...are-country-3/

A brilliant story with the Corinthian in it. Yeah, it isn't the fluffy type.

"It’s not in the Corinthian’s nature to save a life—but if he wants to understand the nature of the Smiling Man, he’s going to have to protect one of the few people to have ever seen him. Unfortunately, considering the strict orders he’s been given by Dream, saving a life very much endangers his own…"




-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Superman: Son of Kal-El #12: https://aiptcomics.com/2022/06/10/dc...-of-kal-el-12/

Yeah, the adventures of a young adult bi Superman & his pink-haired boyfriend with superpowers. Just get over it.

"Lex Luthor and President Bendix have joined forces to unleash the Gamorra Corps on Superman…and put a stop to the first son of the Last Son of Krypton once and for all. But a new hero has joined the fight…and he’s going to use that tin-can suit like a chew toy if Luthor isn’t careful. Welcome back, Krypto. Who’s a good boy?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blood Syndicate: Season One #2: https://aiptcomics.com/2022/06/10/dc...-season-one-2/

Features a Milestone team, which have a Black-Latino gay member, Fade.

"The leader of one of Paris Island’s most powerful gangs needs to add some soldiers to his army…and has his sights set on Wise Son! The heroes might’ve “cleaned up” the streets, but in the shadows there’s utter chaos as rival gangs battle for control. Wise could have a seat at the table, but he’s been out of the game for so long…does he want back in? He came back from Afghanistan a changed man…"

Mari could do better than hanging out with and accepting criminals/murderers because her girlfriend likes and ships them but that was one of my main issues with the prior mini.

Glad to see it's selling. Was worried due to some fans being so overly critical about Bernard.

The Pride Anthology from last year is still charting! That's impressive. Wonder if it's been a none mover since making the charts or if it re-entered the charts since June 2022?

The Killing Joke I'm not surprised to see since it's been present on this chart since 2020 I think.

There is a lot of fanart love for Bernard/Tim on Twitter. I guess DC accomplished what it set out to do with Tim's popularity getting a huge boost after years.

I mean, it is a Harley & Ivy series so Tee Franklin and her team need to come up with reasons for Mari to appear in the books if they want to feature more of her.

I know, it just comes off as nonsensical to me .

spoilers:

Ugh, I hate it when writers do that. There's no need to disrespect Steph like that. Just give Bernard a personality and actually show us what's so great about his relationship with Tim instead of using his ex for validation.

It is fun seeing Vixen and the writers self insert back but like others mentioned it is odd overall. Especially when you take into account some of the things Harley's done in the cartoon like causing thousands of deaths with her Parademon army etc

Still I'm sure it'll be interesting.
