DC Universe New Weekly Releases 18 May, 2021

Grant Morrison’s Green Lantern continues to be good as well as American Vampire 1876. One thing I keep noticing is that the DC covers seem to be similar to romance novel covers and I just find that a little strange…I mean, ok this week maybe it’s just the Hawkman cover but I’ve been looking at a bunch of DC comics lately and I jsut find it weird.

Anyway, here’s the new stuff I found this week:
