We're off for an odd detour into the strange this week as we look at the absolutely forgotten National Comics one-shots series that maybe sit in the New 52 and maybe don't, who knows. All we can say is that its like a dive into DC comics' own version of TV pilot season and its got us feeling a certain nostalgic way for the good old days of network procedurals in all their charm, and we'll let you find out more on the ride into the National Comics one-shots - Eternity by Jeff Lemire and Cully Hamner with colours by Val Staples, Looker by Ian Edginton and Mike S Miller with colours by Rex Lokus and Antonio Fabela, Rose & Thorn by Tom Taylor and Neil Googe with colours by Jim Charalampidis and Madame X by Rob Williams and Trevor Hairsine with colours by Antonio Fabela.
Next week: we can never get away from the spectre of the teen books or Gotham as we get to Teen Titans v3 for Death of the Family in issues 15-17, 0 and some bonus
