Wonder Woman 40 coverWonder Woman #40 – “Divided We Fall” – George Perez, Mindy Newell/Chris Marrinan/Robert Campanella

Last issue, Lois Lane found out why some of the Amazons (specifically Diana, Menalippe, and Penelope) have been acting so weird lately: they’ve been influenced (or captured and replaced) by Eris, Goddess of Discord.

Batman 445 coverBatman #445 – “Red Square Bloody Square” – Marv Wolfman/Jim Aparo/Mike DeCarlo

This one starts with Batman tracking down a self-styled vigilante (the Slasher) who uses various edged weapons to kill people. Thanks to Batman’s intricate knowledge of Gotham (including the sewer system), he anticipates Slasher’s moves and pounds him. In Moscow, another serial killer is on the loose, but this one seems to be targeting only certain people, those on a specific list.
