Green Arrow #35

Well they quickly moved on from the last creative team.

Things I liked: Ollie is a hero for the people.

Things I didn't like: Lex and Bruce showing up together.

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.
