THE QUESTION: THE DEATHS OF VIC SAGE #1
written by JEFF LEMIRE
art and cover by DENYS COWAN and BILL SIENKIEWICZ
variant cover by JEFF LEMIRE
For years, Vic Sage has worn the faceless mask of the Question to clean up the streets of Hub City by sheer force of will. He knows right from wrong. He knows black from white. But what happens when he is drawn into a conspiracy that reaches from the heights of Hub City power to the depths of its underground tunnels? What happens when things stop being black-and-white and start getting a little gray? And what happens when, in a secret chamber deep beneath the city, Vic Sage meets his own end...and his new beginning? Eisner-winning writer Jeff Lemire joins forces with the legendary art team of Denys Cowan and Bill Sienkiewicz to resurrect Vic Sage, only to destroy him all over again...and again...

cover by LEE WEEKS
DC’s mega-event “Infinite Crisis” saw the destruction of the Trinity, the rise of Alexander Luthor and Superboy-Prime, and the rebirth of the Multiverse...but it all started with Ted Kord, the Blue Beetle, who saw it all coming and died with secrets that could’ve saved the world. But...things happened differently in the Dark Multiverse! Not only does Blue Beetle survive— he thrives! And after killing Maxwell Lord himself, Ted sets off a chain of events that irreversibly alters the lives of the Justice League and his best friend, Booster Gold. In trying to prevent a crisis, Blue Beetle becomes the Crisis...and the Dark Multiverse will never be the same.

So far I'm not interested in any of these Dark Multiverse stories or the Infected issues. Two different evil Blue Beetles this month. I don't want to read about Ted Kord going down a dark path. And I just noticed that Tynion is writing this so that's a double no.

So the last issue will reveal who Leviathan actually is. Having read a little of this series I'm not sure how this will be done in a satifying way. The actual mystery is going at a snails pace and except for the possiblity of Roy being alive I haven't found it all that engaging.
FLASH FORWARD #3

cover by EVAN “DOC” SHANER
variant cover by INHYUK LEE
The rift between the Multiverse and Dark Multiverse is growing wider, and evil dark energy is threatening all the planets in its path! It’s up to Wally West to journey to these worlds and purge them of this darkness, but the greater darkness is that from within. The destruction has now found its way to Earth-43, where Roy Harper is the world’s premier vampire hunter, and Wally’s only hope of surviving...

I haven't been sure what the tone of these series was going to be since Wally is dealing with the extra baggage of what happened in HIC. Having Roy turn up as a vampire hunter in a retro costume looks like a lot of fun. I'm sure it will have serious moments though as Wally has to deal with facing Roy after accidently killing him on his world.
Tim will be dropping the Red Robin codename and finally coming up with his own. He's also getting a new costume. I don't hate it or love it at this point, I just don't think it works. Sure it might fit with his new name (I've seen Sparrow suggested) but it looks over designed to me. With bits of yellow that serve no purpose and clutter it.
If Three Jokers is coming out this year there's only one more month to fit an issue in.
