'When we launched 'Castin' the Cowboy,' our goal was to celebrate the spirit of taco night in a way only Old El Paso can,' said Jenny Jonker, Brand Experience Manager at Old El Paso.

Review – Justice League Unlimited #9: Battle for Time
Justice League Unlimited #9 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: It's the aftermath of 'We Are Yesterday', and the big threat is resolved – but it's created a few dozen new perils for the League. Grodd has been captured, but his machinations have created a ripple that have left countless timelost heroes stranded in the present including Batman Beyond, Jonah Hex, and even the deceased Abin Sur. Additionally, new characters keep popping in and out – including a chaotic Harley Quinn who still loves her 'Mistah J'. The timeline is increasingly unstable, the anomalies are increasing, Air Wave is still missing and possibly dead, and everyone is worried about time paradoxes – except Mister Terrific, who has holed up in his lab with his past self as they try to figure out how to get Air Wave back to the present. Michael Holt once again proves that he's one of the DCU's best characters, but the past Terrific blinks out of existence just before he can reveal his findings. Mistah J. Via DC Comics. And as the chaos escalates, the heroes get an unexpected helping hand – from the Time Trapper, aka Doomsday, who has become an unlikely ally of Superman. He's brought with him the World Forger, a cosmic being who was linked to Perpetua and the Monitor. They both want to set things right – but they might need to claim Grodd's life to pull it off. Grodd wastes no time manipulating things in his favor, and it nearly sets off a war between the present-day heroes and the time-displaced ones. There is a lot going on in this issue, with a bunch of fantastic easter eggs and cameos through the issue, but the story is at its best as Holt tries to solve this puzzle and bring Air Wave back to the land of the living. The story of this abandoned kid who was manipulated by Grodd has been the emotional core of this run in many ways, and this issue brings the whole story full circle with style.

Review – Green Arrow #26: Drugged
Green Arrow #26 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: Chris Condon's second arc dials back the clock to one of the darkest chapters of Green Arrow's history – Roy Harper's addiction, and the horrible way Ollie reacted when he found him shooting up in that infamous issue. Now, Roy's seemingly relapsed – being found unconscious in an alley, in a coma, after a massive overdose that also claimed the life of the man found with him. When Ollie finds out, he's immediately overcome with rage and disbelief, insisting that Roy wouldn't slip up like that. Of course, we know that's absolutely the truth – Roy was targeted, like countless other ex-addicts, by the Crimson Archer, a twisted new vigilante who seems to be targeting what he deems the dregs of society. Similar to the first arc, it's a villain with an MO that's all too relevant if you're watching the news. Unlike the first arc's villain, there's nothing sympathetic or tragic about this monster. Partners. Via DC Comics. Of course, Ollie isn't the only one who's invested in Roy's fate – Lian is over as soon as she hears, and Ollie is forced to step up to protect his granddaughter. I'm glad to see this character being pulled into the story – she's only been used fitfully since she returned from the dead a few years back, and Josh Williamson used her really well in his run. But now, Ollie has a new case to investigate – and this one is even more deeply personal. Along with the help of the detective he partnered with last arc, he starts digging into what turns out to be a massive streak of serial killings targeting those vulnerable to addiction and overdoses – of which Roy might be the only survivor. But as the end of the issue indicates, the Crimson Archer may not be done with Arsenal just yet. This is one of the tensest issues of the run, with a deeply personal look at the long reach of addiction that you rarely see in comics. To find reviews of all the DC issues, visit DC This Week.

Review – Absolute Martian Manhunter #5: Rage of the City
Absolute Martian Manhunter #5 cover, via DC Comics. Ray: This is the only one of the original Absolute books that wasn't intended to be an ongoing series – it was greenlit for six issues, and the rapturous critical and audience response immediately got it greenlit for an extended run. That means it'll be taking a hiatus for a few months after next issue as the second arc gets prepped – but it also means that this book feels very separate from the rest of the line. While it definitely feels like a darker reinvention of Martian Manhunter, it also has an off-kilter edge to it that feels like it could have come out of vintage Vertigo. And as Detective John Jones' life falls apart around him, the city falls with it. Something called the Final Night is descending, seemingly driven by whatever has followed John's hitchhiker over from Mars – and it's taken what already lurks in the heart of man and driven it overdrive with acts of practiced cruelty. The hunters. Via DC Comics. Each issue has escalated this threat more and more, but this issue takes it to an extreme level. What started out as acts of violence driven by minor provocations has descended into acts of planned murder. A serial dog killer stalks the streets. A disgruntled diner waitress grounds up glass into her patrons' burgers. A band of fake paramedics stalks the streets, planning to do twisted surgeries on the injured. And let's just say you'll never look at J'onn's beloved Chocos the same way again after this issue. As John runs himself ragged, trying to follow the trails of psychic hate and stop crimes in their tracks, the threat comes home in a terrifying way that isn't resolved by the end of the issue. There's a claustrophobic sense of all-too-familiar horror that pervades this series from the beginning, and this issue dials the tension up to an almost unbearable level as we get to next issue's climax.
