Comic Book Reviews for April 15, 2015
It was another big week for comics. Depending how you fared on this tax day, you might have bought a giant stack of comics or stuck to a few choice books, but either way the pickings were good.
DC continued their Convergence event with a new chapter of the core mini-series and a wave of tie-ins that focused on Zero Hour-era franchises. Some of the standouts this week included Convergence: Green Lantern/Parallax and Convergence: Superboy. Over at Marvel, we saw new issues of perennial favorites like Ms. Marvel, Thor and Uncanny X-Men.
It was a good week for indie fans as well, what with new Image debuts like RUNLOVEKILL #1 and The Tithe #1, the launch of Valiant's Bloodshot Reborn series, and the bizarre but enjoyable Archie vs. Predator #1. Scroll down for these and many other reviews.

New High Res Video Shows SpaceX Rocket Crashing in Slow Motion
After a slight delay due to weather, private space transport company SpaceX launched a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida, to the International Space Station.
Seeing the Dragon cargo ship well on on its way to delivering a two tonne payload of supplies, research equipment and an espresso maker to the ISS, its reusable booster rockets narrowly missed its secondary goal of landing on a floating barge for the first time. Unfortunately, the craft toppled over after seemingly sticking its landing on the barge, which you can see in the video below.
"Ascent successful. Dragon enroute to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but too hard for survival," SpaceX founder Elon Musk tweeted. "Droneship is fine. No hull breach and repairs are minor. Impact overpressure is closer to a fast fire than an explosion.”
