Batman Eternal #26
Why is Alfred so fat?
Things I liked: Tommy does know what gets to Bruce.
Things I didn't like: the art was terrible.
Future's End #22
Looks like Ronnie's growing as a person.
Things I liked: I want to know what's happening to Frankenstein.
Things I didn't like: introducing even more characters.
Worlds' Finest #23
This just feels like a place holder.
Things I liked: Kara just don't care. Getting home is more important.
Things I didn't like: when they left their world was at war. I would think they would be a little more cautious.
Worlds's Finest #22
But if they go home how will Huntress and Nightwing meet?
Things I liked: Kara and Helena have the best relationship.
Things I didn't like: seems too easy.

Talon #17
I think that was the last issue.
Things I liked: he's alive!
Things I didn't like: if the art were better I might have recognized the Talon at the end.
Talon #16
I don't think that's how a Lazarus Pit works.
Things I like: Calvin's reasons are still good.
Things I didn't like: really suffers from sub-par art.
Talon #15
Well, I guess this was interesting. More for mud run than end run.
Things I liked: so that's what it's like to be a Talon.
Things I didn't like: how about a Talon we've seen.
Swamp Thing #27
Hmmmm.... Interesting.
Things I liked: the imagery of this series always impresses me.
Things I didn't like: no more Jason Woodrue?
Superman #30
The start of the whole Doomsday thing.
Things I liked: it makes a bit more sense now that I've seen the beginning.
Things I didn't like: the art was so static.
Superman #29
I really like the way Starfire treats Superman.
Things I liked: great dialogue from Lobdell.
Things I didn't like: sigh, everything has to be intergalactic doesn't it.
Superman #28
Damn, Lois still has powers.
Things I liked: Cat was fun.
Things I didn't like: gah! More Lois nonsense to come.
Superboy #28
I wonder if it's supposed to look like Legion.
Things I liked: I may be dropping this title.
Things I didn't like: maybe it's because I read Teen Titans and this is trying to catch up.
Vibe #10
Just when it gets interesting it gets cancelled.
Things I liked: that scythe is cool.
Things I didn't like: wrapped up too quickly. I would've liked to have seen more and been told less.
Green Lantern New Guardians #29
The story of X'Hal.
Things I liked: good story. Really good.
Things I didn't like: this one was solid.
Talon #14
It's too bad the art is so poor. This could have been cool.
Things I liked: everything is all tidied up.
Things I didn't like: the art is so bad.

Swamp Thing #31
Another avatar?
Things I liked: the pantheon grows. The Fungus avatar is very interesting. I wonder if they're thinking of others.
Things I didn't like: not quite sure where the Wolf is getting his wealth.
Swamp Thing #30
This is a good story arc.
Things I liked: Alec recognizes his failings.
Things I didn't like: he was pretty quick to fall for her charms.

Swamp Thing #29
I am very interested in this story.
Things I liked: the secret. I like that the green has a cult. And that it's not what Alec expected.
Things I didn't like: Swamp Thing without the Parliament. I think he has to answer to something.

Swamp Thing #28
Finally! Capucine's story.
Things I liked: I've been wIting for this for a while.
Things I didn't like: it wS a solid issue.

Superman #27
I don't like Lois with powers but this was a disappointing ending.
Things I liked: Superman has to question himself.
Things I didn't like: generally not satisfying.
Superman #26
Lois Lane doesn't need super powers.
Things I liked: Parasite could be interesting.
Things I didn't like: telepathic too, huh?

Supergirl #30
The last thing Supergirl needs is a red ring.
Things I liked: Supergirl part of a team is a good thing.
Things I didn't like: the Red Lanterns. The whole rage thing actually.

Supergirl #29
I hate Red Lanterns.
Things I liked: not much.
Things I didn't like: beyond the ring they're rewriting Kara's relationship with Siobahn.
Supergirl #28
Ugh! This is like Superboy where they don't know what to do with the character.
Things I liked: Lobo uses brains!
Things I didn't like: practically everything else.
Supergirl #27
Maybe I was wrong.
Things I liked: they are trying to make her different from Superman. I'm just not sure I like it.
Things I didn't like: oh so many things. The whole staff looking like Shay is just the start.
Supergirl #26
I kind of like the new Lobo.
Things I liked: seems like she's growing up.
Things I didn't like: art was cartoonish.
Superboy #30
And off in a different direction. At some point a permanent writer might help.
Things I liked: good to see the Guardian again.
Things I didn't like: I don't understand what they're trying to do with this character!
Superboy #29
Wish I could remember if Kon is alive. I really think he is.
Things I liked: I normally really like Marv Wolfman, and this is a good story, but I don't like an evil hero. That's why I don't read Punisher.
Things I didn't like: this has got to be moving somewhere good. All those pieces are in place to do something big.

Superboy #27
I don't like evil Raven either.
Things I liked: Schiz is an interesting idea. Not quite right, but interesting.
Things I didn't like: Jon's plan is dumb.
Superboy #26
I liked Kon. I don't like Jon.
Things I liked: Superboy forming the Legion of Superheroes.
Things I didn't like: an evil Superboy.

Green Lantern New Guardians #28
I know X'Hal!
Things I liked: at least Kyle and Carol have banter.
Things I didn't like: god killers sound bad.
Green Lantern New Guardians #27
Well, at least Kyle is oblivious.
Things I liked: interesting concept of hive mind.
Things I didn't like: little tired of space opera.
Green Lantern Corps #29
I see where this is going.
Things I liked: the hunting of Daggle is much more interesting than the hunt for Soranik but it all fits in.
Things I didn't like: the white drawing on red background style. Just don't like it.
Green Lantern Corps #28
Lanterns have nothing but trouble.
Things I liked: I'm interested in this Durlan Lantern.
Things I didn't like: the art was inconsistent.
Green Lantern Corps Annual #2
This really chugged the story along.
Things I liked: motivations of the villains. I'm not that familiar with these characters.
Things I didn't like: why are the Durlans a mass of tentacles?
Green Lantern Corps #27
If it's not one thing, it's another.
Things I liked: John's reasons for staying.
Things I didn't like: Durlans.
Green Lantern Corps #26
Interesting if this turns into mostly John.
Things I like: Hal is growing humble. It's so not like him.
Things I didn't like: had enough of Durlans.
Green Lantern Corps #25
A Zero Year crossover.
Things I liked: seeing what makes John tick. He's such a great character.
Things I didn't like: Batman's appearance. Not needed. Didn't make sense in the ZY context.
Green Lantern Annual #2
Read this totally out of sequence.
Things I liked: at least I have a better idea of what's going on.
Things I didn't like: an emotional well strikes me as something that's always being replenished.
Green Lantern #30
Green Lantern shouldn't be tearing me up at work.
Things I liked: Hal in the bar felt right.
Things I didn't like: the universe did turn against them quickly.
Green Lantern New Guardians #26
My iPad ran out of power and this was interrupted. I'm trying to remember it in two parts.
Things I liked: Kyle's still learning. He's not like the other Lanterns.
Things I didn't like: Kyle and Carol being a couple.
