I will say that my personal favorites from the release have to be “The Car” from Geoff Johns, Richard Donner, Olivier Coipel, Alejandro Sanchez, and Nick Napolitano and “Faster Than a Speeding Bullet” by Brad Meltzer, John Cassaday, Laura Martin, and Chris Eliopoulos, with the one that did the least for me being “Actionland” by[...]
