Much like Rebirth, there are some major events happening in this final issue of Justice League because this is the conclusion to the long-running story "The Darkseid War." This is an over-sized issue, and there's a larger price point because of this, but this has been one of the best stories to come out of this current DC Universe. This is a must read as well.

There is one more DC book that you're going to want to check out if you're buying Rebirth. The current arc of Superman is called "The Final Days of Superman," and that title doesn't sound too good for the Man of Steel. Writer Peter Tomasi wraps up the story this week with some phenomenal artwork from Mikel Janin. Find out what happens to Superman this week.

Last month, this series took a bit of a break from the Jane Foster stories to deliver something that read more as a fairy tale or myth: the story of a Viking king who prayed to Thor. The story continues here as the king gains powers from Loki to take Thor on in battle. This is a really refreshing story and a nice little break from everything else going on in the book.

If you're a fan of Star Wars but not reading the series from Marvel, you're truly missing out on something great. This comic has been expanding on the Star Wars Universe, and it fits into the movie franchise exceptionally well. The "Rebel Jail" story arc may be ending here, but that shouldn't turn you off from checking this book out.

The newest Bill & Ted comic comes to a conclusion this week. If you loved the two films, you're going to enjoy Bill & Ted's antics in this series as they take on the new ruler of both Heaven and Hell! Brian Joines has a wonderful grasp of these character's voices, and Bachan's art is the perfect fit, tonally, for this book.
