I'm reading DC Comics' output from January 1980 (cover date) to Crisis! This week, I'm reviewing the comics released on the week of April 12, 1984. 

Omega Men #16: Cavalieri and Nino deliver the last of the fill-in issues before the new, regular creative team arrives. On Euphorix, the warrior in training Katydid rashly follows her teacher Skokiaan to the moon of Tallgrass. Skokiaan was sent there on a mission by Primus to check out reports of Branx activity but has failed to return. When Katydid arrives, she is captured by warriors and imprisoned in the Killing House, a parasite entity designed by the Psions. There she must fight the other captives, including her teacher. Katydid defeats her with a power surge that shorts out the Killing House's symbiotic nerve center. Now free of the House's control, the warriors make peace with one another and decide to set up an outpost on Tallgrass.
The cover says this is a "very special" issue. I don't know if that's the case, but it's an interesting side-story.

Tales of the Teen Titans #44: Wolfman and Perez/DeCarlo present part 3 of "The Judas Contract." Adeline Kane reveals to Dick Grayson the origin of her ex-husband, Slade Wilson, who was a top soldier until an experimental drug left him incapacitated for a time but ultimately gave him super-powers. He because an assassin for hire, an occupation that endangered his family, resulting in an injury to his son Joshua that left him mute.
After hearing her story, Grayson agrees to her help in rescuing the Titans and taking the Terminator down. First, though, he needs a new superhero ID. He decides on Nightwing as an homage to both Batman and Superman--and maybe because that's a costume he had on hand, for some reason. Joshua reveals his super's get-up and his codename of Jericho. He's a mutant with the power to take control of people's bodies.  The two fly off in the T-Jet on the trail of the Terminator and Terra.

Batman #373: Moench and Colan/Alcala bring back the Scarecrow who we last saw in Detective Comics #526. Moench has to do a bit of retconning as Detective 503 had left Crane mentally incapacitated, so in this story he's out for revenge against the villains that basically brough him along as a sort of prop in 526. Scarecrow's got a new device that emits waves (electromagnetic? sonic? It's unclear.) that activates fear centers in the brain. 
When he fails to get to the Joker thanks to the actions of Batman and Robin, he decides he'll have to take out Batman first. He lures Batman into a trap at the Gotham Zoo. Jason, who was already having nightmares causes his school performance to suffer before the Scarecrow shows up, disobeys Batman and goes investigating on his own and finds the Scarecrow's lair--and the Scarecrow himself!
Meanwhile, Commissioner Gordon and the reformed Bullock have finally come to good terms, but Gotham is still a corrupt system. Mayor Hill has cut a deal have Doctor Fang released from prison in exchange for a hit on Bullock.

Arak Son of Thunder #35: The Thomases and Randall/DeZuniga bring Arak and his companions to Damaskos where Alsind hopes to rejoin his family. As they approach the city, Arak sees a giant flaming sword in the sky above. Nobody else sees it, though. After a scuffle with Alsind's uncle's guards, the family is reunited, and they sit down to a meal. Alsind's uncle, Abu, enlists Arak to find the sword he saw in his vision, which is said to grant power to the man who wields it.
The Wandering Jew shows up. He gives some backstory on the sword (it's Gabriel's) and issues a warning regarding its dangers, but then he gets a spear in the back as assassins burst into the room. Arak and fight back and the survivors flee. Arak notices that they are serpent men! 
This is an interesting issue marred a bit by the really phoned in depiction of Damaskos and its culture. It's like the laziest sword & sandals, low budget version of 1001 Arabian Nights.
There's another "Young Arak" backup with art by Forton where Arak attends ritual with his shaman grandfather around the death of a young woman. Arak decides he will be a warrior, not a shaman, but his grandfather suggests he may not have a choice in the matter.

Flash #335: Bates and Infantino/McLaughlin pick up right where last issue left off with the Pied Piper's manipulation having made the Flash look dangerous and violent on TV. The next phase of the Piper's plan involves the mayor of Central City vilifying the Flash on television, but the mayor's loyalty to the Flash proves too powerful for the Piper's conditioning to overcome. So, the Piper sends the Mayor to kill himself in a plane crash, and the Flash has to save him. In another plot, men hired by a voice on a tape recorder set off a bomb, causing an avalanche onto Peter Farley's house where Cecile Horton is staying.

G.I. Combat #267: This issue is notable for a story with art by Giffen, as advertised in the masthead on the cover. Giffen's crowded, many-paneled layouts are certainly very different from what readers of this title are used to. The Kanigher story, however, is more inline with expectations. A G.I. gets his fortune told, revealing he will die on the street of the Griffin. As he heads into an Italian valley to destroy a dam, that seems unlikely, until the area drained by the dam's destruction reveals a long-submerged Roman settlement and an ancient street were the soldier's body comes to rest.
The Haunted Tank story involves Stuart's Raiders getting captured and forced to act as scouts for a German contingent trying to cut a path for panzers through a mountain. Jeb tricks them and the Nazis get killed in their own trap. Then there's a story about a fictional woman aviator who is captured by the Japanese trying to solo fly around the world and is captive in Hiroshima when the atomic bomb is dropped. It says it's written by "Jan Laurie" but that's Kanigher.
The remaining story is set in Vietnam and appears to be an attempt to start another series as it's branded as being about "Bullett's Bravos," Marine's in Bravo Company. It deals about with the psychological toll the war taking, revealing the coporal's nightmares and paranoia about the Vietnamese citizenry. In the end, though, it's mostly about how Kanigher presents the death of celebrity Benny Berger (who I'm sure is a stand in for someone) as the real tragedy. He dies under fire with Bravo and leaves Sgt. Bullett weeping.

Star Trek #6: Ironically. the Sutton/Amendola cover of this sixth issue prefigures a scene in Star Trek VI. Barr's story is again very on-brand for Star Trek and has a number of call-backs to TOS episodes: Kirk and crew must transport ambassador Fox to Babel for a peace conference with the Klingons. However, the shape-shifting agent of an Orion terrorist group has already infiltrated Enterprise with the goal of disrupting the conference. The twist is that the agent is Fox's own daughter! Overall, a solid, Trekian issue. It's done-in-one nature, I think, makes it work a little better than the Organian/Excaliban stuff in the preceding issues.

Superman #397: A rather Hulkish, green brute of an alien shows up on Earth looking for revenge against the last survivor of Krypton. He purports to be of an ancient Kryptonian species from before the colonization by the "human" Kryptonians. He's absorbed large amounts of Green Kryptonite radiation, and he believes Superman's people to be responsible for Krypton's destruction and is looking for revenge. There's another group of aliens, though, pursuing the Kryptonite Man for some reason.
This is a very Marvel seeming story from Kupperberg. Some of that feel is no doubt due to the greater amount of physical violence in the issue, and the way it's dynamically portrayed by Barreto, but I think the core concepts of unrevealed secrets from Kryptons history, a misguided villain with an understandable grievance, that unfortunately, no peaceful accommodation may be possible seems very much the stuff of the Marvel Bronze Age. 
A continuity tidbit: Superman tells the Kryptonite Man that Krypton was destroyed by natural processes, but this contradicts Superman #205 (1968) which says the villain Black Zero was responsible.
