Green Lantern 203 coverGreen Lantern #203 – “The Diabolical Doctor Ub’x” – Steve Englehart/Joe Staton/Mark Farmer

This one starts in Modora, right after the end of last issue. Dr. Ub’x has used his “Sucker Stick” to place all the Green Lanterns (Hal, John, Katma, Kilowog, Salakk, Ch’p, and Arisia) into crystal coffins, where they’re held in some kind of suspended animation.

This one starts with a guy being chased into the subway by a bunch of well-dressed men with guns. They corner him, but get a surprise when he turns into a werewolf and pounds them.

Batman 398 coverBatman #398 – “About Faces” – Doug Moench/Tom Mandrake

This one continues from last issue, with Catwoman pissed off that Batman won’t trust her with the details of his plan for Two-Face and how Circe fits into it. She not really jealous of Circe, just mad that Batman won’t give her 100% of himself. They argue for a while about who has the bigger trust issues, and Batman admits he loves before revealing that he wants to try and change Two-Face back to the good person he was before his face was scarred.
