Between Uncanny Avengers, Black Science, and Deadly Class, this may as well be The Week of Remender. We are down a reviewer this week, so we didn't get to that last one, but we have faith in the IGN Community that they'll let us know how it was in the comments.
This week saw a bunch of new #1s in Fantastic Four, Tomb Raider, Pariah, and One-Hit Wonder, not to mention a one-shot issue for Lois Lane and the start of The Wake, Part 2.
There were some momentous endings, too. Ragnarok Now concluded in the aforementioned Uncanny Avengers. Jason Aaron wrote his last issue of Wolverine and the X-Men. The Ultimate Universe's fate was decided in a fight between Galactus and a super-sized X-Man. And the breakout hit Rat Queens finished its first arc in hilarious fashion.
All that, and Hawkeye is back in top form!
Take a peek at our reviews and let us know what you thought were the week's top books in the comments.

DC COMICS
"Jonah Hex has been living it up in the present day DCU for the last few issues. Writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti have been putting Hex through a lot lately, but the last issue found him facing what was too much to bear. All-Star Western #28 shows us Hex’s recovery process while concluding this arc along the way. The result is a fun story that features an abrupt and somewhat clunky ending." -Mike

"The first two issues of Jeff Parker's Aquaman run were good, but they only really offered a taste of the scope he has planned for the series and how it'll truly differ from Geoff Johns' run. Those elements become a little more clear with issue #28 as Parker moves into his second storyline. Not unlike a good Thor comic, there's a pleasing blend of high fantasy and human drama at work in this issue. Parker seems intent on exploring more of Arthur's past and his relationship with the surface world, and that is already yielding some strong results." -Jesse

"Everyone would probably agree that the first two arcs of Batman/Superman could not have been more different from one another. For those of you interested in a continuation of what you came to expect from the creative team of Greg Pak and Jae Lee, this is the arc for you. Batman/Superman #8 manages to build upon the themes of its stellar first arc, while successfully incorporating the main characters’ very long-distance relatives starring in that other team-up comic, Worlds’ Finest." -Mike

"After a period where things seemed to be looking up for this crossover, it's back to feeling overly long and drawn out again. Justice League Dark #28 does have some engaging moments. Writer J.M. DeMatteis focuses pretty heavily on the 'unholy trinity' of John Constantine, Zatanna, and Nick Necro. This issue really works to pay off on that group dynamic and the build-up its seen of late. There's a sense that Necro is being maneuvered for a possible redemption, which plays nciely into the whole 'evil is relative' theme Forever Evil has going." -Jesse

"The Flash #28 sees the return of writer Brian Buccellato, and this time, he's joined by artist Patrick Zircher. The issue focuses on a murder investigation with a twist: the perp is a ghost. Sort of. And since supernatural baddies are the order of the day, who better to help Barry Allen sort out the mess than Deadman? It sounds good on paper, but unfortunately, the book doesn't quite take advantage of that team-up's potential." -Melissa

"Superman: Lois Lane #1, by writer Marguerite Bennett and artist Emanuela Lupacchino, shows us the intrepid reporter at her finest. That's not to say that she doesn't make bad decisions based on impulse, because she does. But the Lois in the these pages is resolutely human, and her struggles are relatable precisely because of that. Though it isn't without its flaws, the book excels in the range of characterization it achieves, especially given that it's a one-shot; as she races to save her sister from a terrifying new drug, Lois is by turns fierce, vulnerable, frightened, and brave." -Melissa

"So it turns out that the first five issues of this series were really just an extended (and absurdly great) prologue to the story just beginning in The Wake #6. Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy are undeniably giddy to reveal the brave new world presented here. Their enthusiasm jumps off the page and firmly embeds itself into your mind, and the conclusion of this issue will leave you undeniably gobsmacked." -Mike
