It's that time of the week. Time to look at the latest edition of Best Battles in New Comics. Comics often feature big battles with superheroes fighting supervillains. Sometimes we even have superheroes fighting other superheroes. Get ready to cheer and possibly cringe at the brutal punches being thrown.

There will be some spoilers below!

No Caption Provided

SECRET WARS #7

(By Jonathan Hickman, Esad Ribic, and Ive Svorcina)

A fight has begun. Armies are marching towards Doom to renounce him as their god. It's gotten so bad, even the heroes find themselves fighting alongside barons such as Mr. Sinister. But it doesn't last too long.

No Caption Provided

First he survives an explosion, then he gets his head chopped off, just because Apocalypse wants to talk to him.

Doom had called his Thors except some of them have seen the light as well and are now fighting against him.

No Caption Provided

If all that wasn't bad enough, the fighting is about to get a lot messier as a helicarrier full of Hulks has arrived.

No Caption Provided

You should see the army assembled at the end. For a book with "Wars" in the title, it's now living up to that.

THE DARKSEID WAR: GREEN LANTERN #1

(By Tom King, Doc Shaner, and Chris Sotomayor)

Hal Jordan has found himself racing back to Oa. Because of the death of Darkseid, his Parademons have attacked the Green Lantern Corps in order to get to the Central Power Battery. A Mother Box has sensed the power of the Battery and now Hal has to fight through a bunch of Parademons to get to it.

No Caption Provided

He's extremely outnumbered but do you think that's going to stop him?

No Caption Provided

Hal is all about will power. He's not going to give up. He'll defeat them all or die trying.

No Caption Provided

Well...I guess that's the end of Hal and the issue.

Actually, there's more to the story than that. Things get even crazier from here. Seriously, buy the issue if you haven't already.

BIRTHRIGHT #11

(By Joshua Williamson, Andrei Bressan, and Adriano Lucas)

We get to see more of Mikey when he was a kid. When they reach a town, he discovers that a family's daughter had been taken for a sacrifice by Kallista. He wants to help even though Rook shoots down his idea. So of course he's going to go off to the Screaming Skull Island on his own. Not only does he find Kallista, but also plenty of other creatures he'll have to fight.

No Caption Provided

Their screams are deafening but Mikey has no choice but to fight. It's not just his life at stake.

No Caption Provided

It seems like it's too many. He keeps fighting until...

No Caption Provided

What happens next? Are there more? What happens if he does manage to save this girl? What consequences will there be? You'll have to keep reading the series to find out.

Honorable Mentions

No Caption Provided

That Green Lantern issue tying into Darkseid War was sooooo good, after Venditti, Tom King should take the helm of GL's series.

I definitely think the Hyperion and Nighthawk most definitely should have been on here (even if my favorite character of all time got his neck snapped)...... An old school 616 Construct Galactus, What....

So not only was Green Lantern's Darkseid War tie in so well written, it also had Hal defeat over 100,000 Parademons by himself. That's probably the best feat he's gotten in the New 52 without Krona's gauntlet.

He had that kind of power all ready. Twice exactly! So that's why he walk away from it. He knew nothing good would come of it.

@pokopika: Which doesn't make sense given that the Guardians are supposed to be dead as this takes place after Johns' Green Lantern run but this is at least a really good story to make up for the continuity error.

@lvenger: Those might be the new Guardians. They were released when Volthoom got out and have been with Kyle for a while.

@lvenger: Johns told King to use that premise. Tbh I didn't care for continuity for a second because it was so well written. Best GL read since the Epilogue of Johns' run.

@thearchon: They would be if they looked like the New Guardians but they're dressed like the former Guardians of The Universe. The new Guardians don't wear the same robes.

@deathfalcon182

On that I wholeheartedly agree with you. Not a fan of Venditti's run myself.

I'm kicking myself I haven't kept up enough with GL. I need to grab that in trade. Wow.

Birthright looks like something I may want to check out too.

@risingbean: That's not part of the main GL book, it's a one shot for Justice League, you can pick it up anytime. All you need to know is the members of the League are turning into gods.

Although if you wanna start reading GL and catch up, issue 39 is a good jumping on point.

Are new Gods not 100 feet tall anymore? Because superman flew from Apokolips to Earth and he was still his normal height?

Also Shazam's fight was worthy of being on here.

They damn well better be. That's the best part of their deal, IMO...

@lvenger: You might be right. Still find that dumb that Hal, a GL, was able to beat so many Parademons while the Guardians failed (and they are supposed to be way above any members of the GL Corps).

I would love to see Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Wonder Woman, Big Barda, Zealot, and Black Canary chosen as warriors for the new Darkseid/Lex Luthor.
