In this week's issue we talk all about good and evil in the DC Universe! From the banal to the existential, all questions in this issue are about the nature of right and wrong. Last week we gave Colin a reading assignment, this week we see how this issue pales in comparison to pantheon of paper before it. But before all this, we talk all that has happened in DC news!
