Teen Titans #11

I sure hope there's an origin story for Wonder Girl coming up soon. I'm not familiar with this version at all.

Things I liked: I find it amusing that they're all hanging out at Tim's penthouse without him there. Especially since he's considered breaking up the team.

Things I didn't like: I don't get the "bad boy" Superboy. He doesn't seem that way in his own title, but here he is moving in with a girl and sporting a tattoo.

Supergirl #10

There's a few things that I'm waiting for with this series: for her to learn English, and for there to be some explanation why everyone loves Superman but hates her.

Things I liked: pretty cool fight scene. Just seemed to be all there was.

Things I didn't like: not sure where they're going with Siobhan and her brother.

Green Lantern Corps #10

Damn it! This series makes me like Guy Gardner.

Things I liked: Guy's escape plan was rather brilliant.

Things I didn't like: the Guardians' plan really makes them look like dicks.

DC Universe Presents #10

I like Vandal Savage more and more. He looks like a really fun character to write.

Things I liked: his escape was suitably crazy.

Things I didn't like: the amount of pull his daughter has. It seems she's beyond her years.

Catwoman #10

Spark's double crossing her? That's so unexpected. Sort of. Once he kissed her it was coming. She has terrible taste in men.

Things I liked: showing up at the detective's apartment had style.

Things I didn't like: she was in a position that made her look sexy, and I don't think was physically possible if she had a spine.

Batwoman #10

If there's any title I should drop it's this one. I just keep coming back for the art.

Things I liked: the freaks getting freakier.

Things I didn't like: everything with Bette is becoming so cliche.

Nightwing #11

I'm actually a little disappointed in this issue. Maybe I was expecting too much, but I'm a little let down.

Things I liked: Dick's moping in the Batcave. He has a flair for the dramatic.

Things I didn't like: unless Dick tracks her down and apologizes, the potential storyline between him and Sophia is deaf in the water. I said I thought I'd seen it before, but I did want to see what Higgins was planning to do with it.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #11

Scott Lobdell has way too much fun writing for Arsenal.

Things I liked: Roy's stalling tactic was expected but I liked the way he told the story.

Things I didn't like: Jason's date (according to Roy anyway) seems to be taking this much too well. The one problem with telling the story from one character's point of view is remembering not to include things he didn't see.

Justice League #11

Graves is the best kind of villain. He goes out of his way to taunt his victims.

Things I liked: Wonder Woman can really throw down if she feels the need.

Things I didn't like: what's up with Cyborg? Though I did like Batman's "reassurances".

Young Justice #18

Rushing forward to season 2. I was hoping they'd stick with the original team for a bit longer, but it really looks like they're plowing ahead.

Things I liked: very tight with the chronology. I know exactly where this takes place. It was great that Robin gave the gorillas the most trouble.

Things I didn't like: the Brain's mash up of French and English. It was too much. A phrase, or a word, is more realistic.

Wonder Woman #11

I'm beginning to think that the child of prophesy is Diana; not whomever Zola is carrying.

Things I liked: Artemis' new look is incredible.

Things I didn't like: calling Demeter Harvest. It doesn't quite capture her nature.

Swamp Man #10

Creepy. That's all there is to it. Scott Snyder is creepy and he writes creepy things that creep me out.

Things I liked: keeping the identity of who Arcane was talking to a surprise until the end. There were a couple of possibilities and it could have gone either way.

Things I didn't like: the art was a little off in this one. When Abigail said Alec was injured, I was having a hard time figuring out how she knew.

Superboy #10

I sense a love triangle coming on. Sort of. I don't think Cassie will actually fall for Superboy or Red Robin, but I think they'll try competing for her.

Things I liked: the relationship between the two was fun to read. Very Tracy/Hepburn. Cliched, but still fun.

Things I didn't like: while I did like Superboy acting more like a teen it seems to have come on him rather quickly. I wish he were even more awkward.

Resurrection Man #10

I really like the new artist. The series looks more like the covers.

Things I liked: Mitch's deal. I can't think it'll go well for him but I want to see where it goes.

Things I didn't like: Kim's a little too powerful for what she says she can do. It's doing more than it feels it should.

Ravagers #2

Ravagers seems to be the place they're sticking all the Teen Titans stuff they didn't want to use.

Things I liked: Thunder letting loose. I was beginning to think he was damaged.

Things I didn't like: Lightning selling them out. I don't understand her motivations.

Legion Lost #10

I've decided that I'm reading this title mostly for Timber Wolf. And they keep shooting him.

Things I liked: Brin's pal trying to play the system.

Things I didn't like: internally inconsistent. I thought with the new 52 that time travel forward was impossible. Yet, here they're able to go past where they left. At least it was completely changed. I don't think any trip to the past could maintain the future.

Demon Knights #10

They're all getting really chummy with one another, aren't they? This was a transition issue. They're really just traveling between stories. The next one looks really interesting.

Things I liked: Vandal Savage hitting the sea monster.

Things I didn't like: Exoritas seems a bit too flirty.

Batgirl #11

The justice system in Gotham is messed up. They sent an 18 year old girl to Arkham. Sure, she wasn't criminally responsible for the crime, but there's got to be entry level psychiatric hospitals in the area.

Things I liked: James is super creepy. He seems to be stalking Barbara's room mate, but is really giving her a cat. I've been reading some feminist literature lately and am curious if Simone is going to succumb to her own lady in the refrigerator.

Things I didn't like: I don't get where this cop is coming from. Barbara's questions are enough to get the gun back on her?

Batman #11

This one made me laugh out loud. I really like the way Snyder writes the relationship between Dick and Bruce.

Things I liked: the resolution of the story line. I liked the Court of Owls story arc. It gave the city character and introduced some interesting elements into the Bat mythos.

Things I didn't like: Batman's free fall. There's no way any line could stop him from splatting.

Batman and Robin #11

So Damian begins his crusades against Robins to Jason. I suppose that makes sense, Jason is considered the worst Robin. It's also kind of obvious. I would have thought his first target was Tim. It seemed it was, but maybe there will be another meeting.

Things I liked: Robin riding off with the Red Hood mask tied to the front of his cycle. It was almost joyful. I like Damian happy.

Things I didn't like: that Damian's crusade was more interesting than the actual story for this issue.

Detective Comics #11

So the radioactive man is also a clone. Interesting, and his clones were robbing banks as Batman. This is not the strongest storyline.

Things I liked: Batman's escape was pretty cool. Thanks to Alfred.

Things I didn't like: Bruce Wayne displayed a little too much scientific knowledge. We know he knows it but I like it better when Wayne plays dumb.

Justice League International #11

Finally! There's the payoff for all that flirtation. Though I kind of wish that she'd been the one to kiss him; she has been the aggressor for most of the time they've been together.

Things I liked: they worked well together and Booster showed some leadership. I thought Guy might make a play for top dog, but I think Booster impressed him.

Things I didn't like: the brother of the villain that was killed leapt to the conclusion the it was the JLI's fault and vowed revenge. It's cliche.

On a side note, they need more women on the team. It was well balanced before, but with Fire, Ice and Vixen all sidelined in the first arc, it's turned into a sausage feat.

Worlds' Finest #2

I like how the story is slowly being teased out. I want to see where it goes.

Things I liked: looks like Wayne Enterprises has caught on to Helena's little scheme.

Things I didn't like: how they keep downplaying the new world they're in. It may be a coping mechanism, but it's annoying.

Voltron Year One #3

Wow! This is really intense. Doesn't quite feel like the Voltron Force but it's entertaining.

Things I liked: the plan. Taking out all those people at once was a neat bit of strategy.

Things I didn't like: Sven taking pills. Not so much that he is, but that there's no indication of what they are to let the reader know why it's bad. Maybe that's just my job getting in the way of the story.

Stormwatch #10

Some consistency might be nice. Just last issue Midnighter thought the Batman was the man. Now they don't really know who he is.

Things I liked: that Gotham would be untrusting of Jack. It fits.

Things I didn't like: Apollo's hissy fit. It doesn't fit. I get it, but I don't think it's appropriate.

Earth 2 #2

Earth 2 continues to impress. Jay's new origin story is so much better than the original.

Things I liked: Jay testing out his new powers.

Things I didn't like: Alan Scott being gay seemed forced. I'm not opposed to him being gay, I'm just not sure I liked how it was introduced.

Dial 'H' for Hero #2

This is the great thing about having novelists write comics. They remember to do things like foreshadowing and character development. Sometimes it happens in superhero comics, but not usually right at the beginning.

Things I liked: the story is very intriguing. I like that there's a bigger thing going on here than just him being able to get powers.

Things I didn't like: he's not the most admirable main character. It's hard to root for him when he's a bit of a putz.

Animal Man #10

I wonder if those involved with this project sit around of new ways to be creepy. Because flying dog-men freaked me out.

Things I liked: the phrase "Fetch the tailor" when applied to getting Buddy a new body.

Things I didn't like: Ellen Barker. She's been with Buddy long enough that she should know what she can handle and when she should accept help.

Animal Man Annual #1

I waited a month hoping it would drop in price, but it didn't. I bought it anyway and I'm glad I did. It isn't totally necessary for the continuation of the story, but it was a great story.

Things I liked: that the Green, the Red and the Rot maintain a balance. The story's always better if the bad guys aren't as bad, or the good guys could be under different circumstances.

Things I didn't like: that Buddy seems to be giving up. I'm not sure why Jacob was seeing into the future, but it was kind of bleak.

Voltron #5

Oh no! Not Lance! He's my favourite. I think he's going to pull through, it's his way.

Things I liked: not afraid to hurt a main character. They're not going to get out of this unscathed.

Things I didn't like: Keith got Black Lion back a little too easily. I'm sort of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Superman #9

Looks like Clark isn't being as careful with his secret identity as he ought to be.

Things I liked: I like that someone thought to put seedy tabloid into Metropolis.

Things I didn't like: that as soon as Superman sees someone else with powers he immediately attacks.

Savage Hawkman #9

Phew! Rob Liefeld didn't ruin this one too.

Things I liked: I actually kind of like the story. I want to see where it goes anyway.

Things I didn't like: it's a bit wordy. You'd think with Liefeld being an "artist" he wouldn't want to crowd out everything with dialogue boxes and word balloons.

Green Lantern: New Guardians #9

I still don't like the multiple colour corps, but I am enjoying the story of them all being targeted.

Things I liked: Saint Walker. He's growing on me.

Things I didn't like: it's not making much sense yet.

Fury of Firestorm #9

Jason's story totally doesn't interest me. Great, just regular superhero stuff. Ronnie's looks way more interesting.

Things I liked: the build up on what's happening to Ronnie.

Things I didn't like: there are too many Firestorm protocols running around. I can't keep track of them.

Flash #9

Sadly, I saw the cover to this and my first thought made me think I might be reading too much fan fiction.

Things I liked: Gorilla Grodd is the right kind of creepy to be a super villain. You can totally ignore that he's a talking gorilla.

Things I didn't like: Barry seems a bit too prepared to just jump in and explain why he's been missing for so long. I was hoping he might have to be more flustered.
