In Hellblazer: Rise and Fall, a new three-issue mini-series by Tom Taylor and Darick Robertson launching this September, a billionaire mysteriously falls out of the sky and is gruesomely skewered on a church spire. Even stranger, they have angel wings attached to their back. More bodies soon follow, raining death and causing widespread panic. Detective Aisha Bukhari is stumped by the phenomenon, until she's visited by her childhood friend, occult investigator John Constantine.

Heroes may be inspirational, but they’re also a safety blanket that we’d probably want to wrap ourselves up in given the chance. Gods who serve the greater good, icons who fight for truth and justice. In DCeased, they’re also the harbinger of an apocalypse that nobody could see coming.

They’ve faced the end of all realities when the Anti-Monitor began exterminating entire universes, reignited a dying star to save the planet and triumphed over an army of evil Batmen when the Dark Multiverse crawled out from beneath the darkness. Now, DC’s finest heroes are going to tackle a danger that they’ve never prepared for: A zombie apocalypse.

The world may be burning, society is in chaos and technology threatens to strip us of our humanity, but it’s comforting to know that in the end times, comic books are better than ever. This year wasn’t just a fantastic year for the medium, it was the very best that fans had ever seen. Writing felt sharper than a hotly forged sword, the art on display could put the entire gallery of the Louvre to shame and the resulting combination was an explosion of quality.

Ignore the wild abandon with which the source material was treated. Forget the terrible pacing, somewhat lacklustre acting and lifeless cinematography. At the end of the day, The Dark Tower is just underwhelming

The Dark Tower movie is currently getting slated in reviews, but can the TV series do better? The Walking Dead showrunner Glen Mazzara is the man that is going to have to make that happen.

His wife Lois Lane, unborn child and most of Metropolis dead thanks to the machinations of the Joker, Superman did what any living solar battery powerhouse would do: End the Joker once and for all, crossing a line that he never came back from as he descended further into tyranny over the course of the first year of the Injustice comic books. A plot twist that earned writer Tom Taylor plenty of hate from the internet.

Sanity prevailed in the end and the tyrant of steelknown as Superman was eventually stopped, tossed into the most maximum of prisons to live out the rest of his days under the glare of red solar radiation lights. In Injustice 2 #5 by Tom Taylor, Daniel Sampere, Juan Abarran and Rex Lokus, someone wants that Superman out.
