What will be the final fate of Reactron?
Supergirl has finally brought Reactron back to New Krypton so he can be held accountable for murdering her father, Zor-El.

It all comes to a head in FLASH: REBIRTH #5

End the week with a look at the cover to SUPERGIRL #50, by Michael Turner
As some of you know, artist Michael Turner died from complications of cancer last summer. He left a lasting legacy with not only the Maid of Steel, but comics in general. We thought it would be a great honor to spotlight his career and this milestone issue, SUPERGIRL #50 by having a cover from the artist that helped usher the modern version of Supergirl into the DCU.
J. Michael Straczynski on BRAVE AND THE BOLD #29
A thing that lives… and fights for its soul. The shambling walking doll that is Brother Power, the Geek has been reborn in Gotham City without a home or purpose.

And, if you can believe it, Prime has met his match. But we can't say much more. What we can do is show you a batch of pages from the issue.
What else is going on in the Batman universe in February?
Well, a ton, dear Source reader. Too much to capably sum up in one blog post. It's also way too early to give too much away. But, we can showcase some of the lovely artwork gracing the covers of the Bat-titles hitting in February, featuring the talents of Frank Quitely, Dustin Nguyen, Phil Noto and many more. So, take another bite of your lunch and look 'em over.
And now, Mark Bagley's cover to JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #42
Writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley are in the early stages of their run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, but they've been anything but quiet. As you saw in their first issue, some heroes have already fallen. And #39 brings the League into BLACKEST NIGHT. But what happens after? Well, that'd be telling.
