Wonder Woman 36 coverWonder Woman #36 – “Changes in the Wind” – George Perez, Mindy Newell/Chris Marrinan/Steve Montano

This one starts with Hermes standing naked on the roof of Steve’s building, receiving a message from a dove sent from Themiscyra.

Green Arrow 26 coverGreen Arrow #26 – “Ollie of Sherwood” – Mike Grell/J. J. Birch/Michael Bair

This one continues from last issue, with Oliver (Green Arrow) Queen still in the pub. The innkeeper tells him he shouldn’t stir up trouble by investigating Hawthorne’s death.

Batman 441 coverBatman #441 – “Parallel Lines” – Marv Wolfman/Jim Aparo/Mike DeCarlo

This is part three of the “Lonely Place of Dying” storyline, which takes place after New Titans #60 even though they came out in the same month. Last issue, Batman realized Two-Face was behind the strange crimes he’d been dealing with. This issue gives us a look at how closely matched Batman and Two-Face are (almost like opposite sides of the same coin, if that’s not stretching things too much) and how their thought processes work almost in tandem.
