Wonder Woman #36

A new creative team.  I'll give them a chance but I'm not a big fan of Davis Finch's art style.

Things I liked: Aquaman is Swamp Thing's favourite Leaguer.  Tee hee!

Things I didn't like: I was pretty sure that Hippolyta was no longer a clay statue.

Multiversity: Pax Americana

While I was excited to see all the Carlton characters I was disappointed with the whole.

Things I liked: I get what he was trying to do.  Some of the panel progressions were innovative and interesting choices.  Especially the walk and talk down the staircase.

Things I didn't like: trying too hard to be Watchmen.  I didn't like Watchmen.

Teen Titans #4

I hope he's not falling for it.

Things I liked: well it's a plan that I can see working.

Things I didn't like: Tim got Scullied.

Superman/Wonder Woman #13

I wonder if they're breaking up.  They seem to have very different world views.

Things I liked: Bruce gave Clark a typewriter.  That's very human.  Alfred probably picked it out.

Things I didn't like: Diana is much less patient than she usually is.

Sensation Comics #4

Having two stories in the 40's style was annoying.

Things I liked: the second story was the best of the bunch.

Things I didn't like: not a strong issue.  The first story was my least favourite from last issue and the other two didn't stand out.

Red Hood and the Outlaws #36

Starfire and drugs seem an odd combo.

Things I liked: how close the three of them are.

Things I didn't like: there are holes in the story.

Future's End #29

This was touching.

Things I liked: Ronnie's whole arc was great.  I'll miss the character.

Things I didn't like: not sure I like where Tim's going.

Batman/Superman #16

Superman's Joker is an interesting idea, but I don't know if it works.  There's something about a nemesis that is more Batman than Superman.

Things I liked: the guy dressed as Superman in the children's hospital was a hero.

Things I didn't like: it doesn't feel like the writer is particularly concerned with the current continuity.

Batman Eternal #33

We're still only halfway!

Things I liked: Julia taking a more active role.

Things I didn't like: the weapons caches.  I hope Lucius doesn't lose his job over this.

Batman and Robin #36

Almost there.

Things I liked: the art was actually pretty intense.  Lots of action.

Things I didn't like: he did go a little Red Lantern on them.

Batgirl #36

Not surprised at the story.  It does have a very anime look.

Things I liked: lots of social stuff from this team.

Things I didn't like: she still seems young.

Batman #36

I still feel I know how this will end.

Things I liked: Bruce - always prepared.

Things I didn't like: I can't think of anything.  Even the backup was solid.

Batman Eternal #32

Such a touching moment with Alfred.

Things I liked: oh man, this is so bad.

Things I didn't like: it's too easy for Hush to do these things.

Justice League United #6

They went from fighting to working together comic book fast.

Things I liked: some of the relationships they're building are really interesting.

Things I didn't like: if Brainiac 5 knows the Legion Lost are here, why are they still lost?

Future's End #28

It's like two steps forward and one step back with this series.

Things I liked: the Batmen fight.

Things I didn't like: Lois.

Grayson #4

Oh, do I want to see his new cover.

Things I liked: I thought Dick Grayson at a girls' school had potential.

Things I didn't like: I can't figure out how much Helena knows.

Future's End #27

A leap of faith.  Cute.

Things I liked: the story seems to be ramping up.

Things I didn't like: it's still so slow.  I get that it's weekly and they have more time to tell the story but some of it feels like padding.

Green Arrow #36

Felicity as a hired killer?  I don't know.

Things I liked: hard to say.  It's still setting everything up.

Things I didn't like: they're working so hard to distance themselves from the last team.

Sensation Comics #3

Very cartoony art this issue.  The first was my favourite style.

Things I liked: the first story was the best.  Very Wonder Woman even if it was more about her ideals.

Things I didn't like: the third story was disappointing.  Art was not to my liking and after two stories about her power this one cuts her down.

Detective Comics #36

Much darker than I expect my Batman.  But I liked it.

Things I liked: nice to see Dick still working for Batman.

Things I didn't like: spying has not been good for Dick.

Wonder Woman #35

Did not see that coming.  All this time Zola was Athena.

Things I liked: Diana really cut loose.

Things I didn't like: where do they go from here?  This was so epic and changed everything.  How does she just become a hero?

Multiversity: The Just

Such a neat idea.  Earth 16 (according to the  cover).

Things I liked: children of heroes having nothing to do.

Things I didn't like: the Grant Morrison did I miss a page?

Justice League #35

This does everything a prologue is supposed to do.  I'm very excited by what's coming.

Things I liked: Geoff Jones writes my second favourite Batman.

Things I didn't like: Lex has a hand in too many pies.

Future's End #26

Finally!  Someone talked some sense into Ronnie and Jason.

Things I liked: Batman's just the coolest.

Things I didn't like: the whole Green Arrow faked his death.
