Reading Roundup Wrapup: January 2026

Pick of the month: Formerly Known as the Justice League by Keith Giffen & J. M. DeMatteis, Kevin Maguire, and Joe Rubinstein. I have laughed at quite a lot at many Justice League comics by Giffen, DeMatteis, and their artistic collaborators at this point, but these six issues probably have the highest laugh-to-page ratio out of almost anything they've done.
