Dark Crisis is DC’s 2022 crossover event all about what happens after the Justice League dies.

Supergirl, Jon’s cousin once removed who’d certainly hear about it at the next reunion if she hadn’t said yes; a Blue Beetle; Doctor Light, making her mandatory appearance in an event comic and absolutely nowhere else; Killer Frost, who, while reformed, still has a pesky ol’ uncontrollable hunger for the heat of human bodies; Booster Gold; the other Blue Beetle; FRANKENSTEIN; Aqualad, Jon’s closest gay friend; Robin, Jon’s closest straight friend; and the barely reformed Harley Quinn.

If this is how you found out that Frankenstein’s monster is a recurring DC Comics superhero, I’m sorry. He is called Frankenstein and he’s a secret agent for paranormal stuff (I think. I’m not looking it up).

What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week.
