Green Lantern #29

I hope Walker figures it out.

Things I liked: Hal uses his brain!

Things I didn't like: the art is really uneven.

Green Lantern / Red Lantern #28

I'm not quite sure why Guy is a red, but it fits.

Things I liked: nice to see Tora again.

Things I didn't like: Kara as a red.

Green Lantern #27

Ugh, I can't follow this.

Things I liked: OK, he's the villain, but I kind of like the Durlan.

Things I didn't like: war.  That's the last thing I want.

Green Lantern #26

I think the crossover is over.  Yay!

Things I liked: Hall needs to learn.

Things I didn't like: this new thing of the light destroying the universe.

Flash #28

Somehow, I never thought the House of Mystery showing up would be so much like the Wizard of Oz.

Things I liked: I really liked this arc.

Things I didn't like: sigh.  Hiding Nora's killer is dumb.

Flash #28

A mystery and a good ghost story!

Things I liked: Deadman is a fun character that I don't see often enough.

Things I didn't like: turning into bit of a soap opera.

Flash #27

One of the things I've always liked about Barry is that he's a scientist.  I love when his day job comes up.

Things I liked: woot!  I love a mystery.

Things I didn't like: no idea what those coloured rocks were.  It could have been more clear.

Flash #26

Just a one-shot between arcs but it's a fun one.

Things I liked: they really thought about what it means to be the fastest man alive.

Things I didn't like: I'm not convinced the science was all there.

Flash #25

Zero Year crossover.

Things I liked: seeing Barry before the Flash.

Things I didn't like: very solid issue.  It brought Batman and the Flash together very neatly without it being a true crossover.

Earth 2 #22

I kinda like Val.

Things I liked: Bedlam is an interesting villain.  I wonder how much control he has.

Things I didn't like: Lois with powers.

Earth 2 #21

He ripped off his arm and beT him with it!

Things I liked: the art is quite pretty.  I like the Atlanteans.

Things I didn't like: losing track of the different battle fronts.

Earth 2 #20

I hope Fate gets better.

Things I liked: Lois had a good speech.

Things I didn't like: Superman going nuts.

Earth 2 Annual #2

Batman's origin.

Things I liked: I knew he was Thomas.  I didn't know how far he'd fallen.

Things I didn't like: I don't like controversies or Thomas surviving.

Earth 2 #19

I hate evil Superman.

Things I liked: quite the team Batman's assembling.

Things I didn't like: a queen of the sea.

Earth 2 #18

Not nice people.

Things I liked: Batman don't care.

Things I didn't like: I always picture Jimmy older.

Constantine #12

Somehow I don't think some of this will air on NBC.

Things I liked: they don't shy away from what used to be Vertigo.

Things I didn't like: seems more wizard than John usually goes.

Constantine #11

Not reading the other crosses is hurting a bit.

Things I liked: the magic words.

Things I didn't like: I don't want to read Pandora.

Constantine #10

I've seen the dog as God before.

Things I liked: that John sees the bad but everyone else is shown the good.

Things I didn't like: too many creepy smiles.

Constantine #9

I had wondered where he went during Forever Evil.

Things I liked: John knows who he is.

Things I didn't like: heavy blank lines in the art.  Not my favourite style.

Catwoman #29

I admit it.  They got me.

Things I liked: I didn't see that twist coming.  I spent the whole issue thinking that it was a very odd job  for Catwoman.

Things I didn't like: she smashed an unknown chemical on a security guard.

Catwoman #28

This one was a bit disjointed.

Things I liked: she went beyond who she was looking for who she is.

Things I didn't like: they hollowed out his bones?  I don't think so.

Catwoman #27

And the Gothtopia crossover.

Things I liked: Catwoman fighting against herself.

Things I didn't like: how they chose to break her.

Catwoman #26

The end of the Underground saga.

Things I liked: most of the payers will never be seen again.

Things I didn't like: I prefer Catwoman topside.  The Underground was weird, even for Gotham.

Catwoman #25

I like these Zero Year crossovers.

Things I liked: seeing where Selena started.

Things I didn't like: solid issue.  No complaints.

Batwoman #29

The art is really interesting.

Things I liked: the fight scene was interestingly paced.

Things I didn't like: you'd think she'd know what paintings were in her family's home.

Batwoman #28

Ah, a map under the paintings.

Things I liked: the way this is panning out is intriguing.  Although, I think Evan might be Wolf Spider.

Things I didn't like: it feels disjointed.  All of a sudden Maggie wants her to see a psychologist?

Batwoman #27

Stupid Kate.  Really stupid.

Things I liked: interested to see what makes Wolf Spider more than a simple thief.

Things I didn't like: I'm pretty sure she should have known Maggie's daughter was staying with them.

Batwoman #26

I love Flamebird's design.

Things I liked: nice to see a more normal Gotham.

Things I didn't like: Evan is very stereotypical.  I expect more.

Batwoman #25

I'm pretty sure everyone thought Bruce was dead before Zero Year.

Things I liked: I always forget that Bruce and Kate are related.

Things I didn't like: the writer of this one doesn't seem to follow what's happening in the rest of the Batverse.

Aquaman #29

I always felt Aquaman and Wonder Woman should have much in common.

Things I liked: I'm intrigued by this story.

Things I didn't like: I must be a little behind in Swamp Thing, because I have no idea what it's referring to.

Aquaman #28

A high school reunion!  How fun.

Things I liked: looking at Arthur rather than Aquaman.

Things I didn't like: how did dude get from Maine to the Azores so quickly?

Aquaman #27

I really liked this one.

Things I liked: the feeling that Arthur really didn't want to do it the way he was.

Things I didn't like: yet another plot.

Aquaman #26

He's a very hands on king.

Things I liked: Mera taking him to task for missing a meeting.

Things I didn't like: the Aquaman torpedo.

Aquaman #25

I liked the beard.

Things I liked: Arthur's insistence on joining his two worlds.

Things I didn't like: the dead king was crazy.

Animal Man #29

I need to stop reading the sad ones at work.

Things I liked: it was a fitting end.

Things I didn't like: I thought Socks was already an avatar.

Animal Man #28

No fair making me cry at work!

Things I liked: I know the series is ending.  This has been epic.

Things I didn't like: Maxine irks me.

Animal Man #27

I like what they imply of being a superhero.

Things I liked: I think Blood's wrong.  Buddy's family makes him strong.

Things I didn't like: Blood in two places.

Animal Man #26

So a different type of avatar, huh?

Things I liked: willing to deal at any cost.

Things I didn't like: shouldn't it matter if it's a champion for the red or green?  And why no rot?

All-Star Western #29

Gina didn't last long.

Things I liked: such a good story.  Jonah has had an interesting life.

Things I didn't like: I was hoping Gina would at least meet Tallulah.

All-Star Western #28

Good thing he's rich.  Those hospital bills would have been murder.

Things I liked: weird to see him normal.

Things I didn't like: dues ex Booster.  While I'm glad Booster is around.  It seems too easy to get Jonah back.

All-Star Western # 27

I'm having trouble imagining Superman being so patient with Jonah.

Things I liked: the museum show was a nifty idea.

Things I didn't like: he should be a lot more dead after being hit by a semi.

All-Star Western #26

I thought I'd missed an issue.

Things I liked: Jonah's desire was very telling.  I didn't picture him as a family man.

Things I didn't like: I don't think Superman and Jonah will be as interesting.

All-Star Western #25

Hex and Constantine together!  Yay!

Things I liked: two of the most curmudgeonly characters in the DC universe.

Things I didn't like: I'm not sure about the girl he's been dragging around.
