Future's End #41

Still not over.

Things I liked: Tim's got attitude.

Things I didn't like: this was my least favourite of the many, many plots.

Grayson #7

I wish Dick were in more series.

Things I liked: it was all talk.  Most of the issue was debate and internal conflict.

Things I didn't like: Dick's a good person.  I don't know if he's that good a person.

Detective Comics #39

Manapul excels at creating mood.

Things I liked: Batman and Bullock have such an interesting relationship.

Things I didn't like: the Ararky/Alice connection.

Batman Eternal #44

I liked this one a lot.

Things I liked: it had movement and urgency.  Something this title has been lacking.

Things I didn't like: it's almost at the end and we still have no idea who's doing this.

Green Arrow #39

Poor Felicity.

Things I liked: how happy she was that someone came.

Things I didn't like: adding Cheetah.

Future's End #40

I hate Superman, but that final panel was payoff.

Things I liked: that it did take massive destruction to get Superman off his ass.

Things I didn't like:  I've lost track of where the story is supposed to be going.

Batman #38

Creepy, just creepy.

Things I liked: he's learning.  Admitting to Dick he doesn't have a plan is a huge step.

Things I didn't like: I still feel it's too big.

The Multiversity Guidebook

They turned a list into a story.

Things I liked: I want to see stories from some of these Earths.

Things I didn't like: missed opportunities.  The current crop of TV shows (especially on the CW) should be its own Earth.

Future's End #39

The end of Frankenstein?

Things I liked: the relationship between the monster and Amethyst had a good arc.

Things I didn't like: it doesn't fit with the rest of the story.

Batman Eternal #43

At least she's going by Bluebird.

Things I liked: all about the girls.

Things I didn't like: Cullen widely changes his personality.

Secret Origins #9

Swamp Thing, Power Girl and John Stewart.

Things I liked: Swamp Thing has a good origin.

Things I didn't like: John Stewart should have gotten more cover time.

Red Hood and the Outlaws

So what exactly is happening here?

Things I liked: Jason is a dick.

Things I didn't like: Crux is a dumb villain.

Justice League #38

Batman with super powers.

Things I liked: the investigation into the disease.

Things I didn't like: the disease doesn't make sense.

Batman/Superman #18

Aw... that's so sweet.

Things I liked: Batman's the man with the plan.

Things I didn't like: Superman's Joker.

Batman and Robin #38

That is one smug kid.

Things I liked: Bruce is trying to be a dad.

Things I didn't like: Damian with powers.

Teen Titans #6

A new Power Girl, huh?

Things I liked: girl bonding.

Things I didn't like: they were very quick to accept her.

Batman Eternal #42

Things I liked: OK, Harper's cool.

Things I didn't like: she's not Nightwing.

Wonder Woman #38

Yay!  Donna Troy!

Things I liked: Batman and Wonder Woman's conversation.

Things I didn't like: he doesn't draw her mature enough.

Sensation Comics #6

Two different stories.

Things I liked: the different interpretations of Wonder Woman.

Things I didn't like: ignoring the current continuity.

Future's End #38

I don't like this Batman/Joker thing.

Things I liked: OK, it noticing that Tim was a Robin to kill was amusing.

Things I didn't like: it feels like filler.  There's a certain number of issues they're trying to get to.

Grayson #6

The spirals on the covers give this a very coherent look.

Things I liked: the brawl between Nightwing and Midnighter was fun.

Things I didn't like: Dick looking after the Garden is a little big for this series.

Batgirl #38

Parts of this I love.  Others... Not so much.

Things I liked: the social media presence makes sense.

Things I didn't like: Babs' attitude I did not.

Green Arrow #38

I don't say this often, but Hal was right.

Things I liked: nice integration of Arrow and Green Arrow.

Things I didn't like: not everything is about you, Ollie.

Justice League United #8

More Legion than Justice League.

Things I liked: some of them work well together.

Things I didn't like: there's way too many of them.

Superman/Wonder Woman #15

Magog is dumb.  Circe may salvage this story.

Things I liked: Wonder Woman kicks ass.

Things I didn't like: Wonder Woman does not ignore people expecting Superman to clean up the mess.

Batman Eternal #41

Nanotech.  Great.

Things I liked: Harper.  She's grown on me.

Things I didn't like: Harper as the new Nightwing.  I don't like that at all.

Batman Eternal #40

There's so much going on.

Things I liked: some things are solved.

Things I didn't like: too many stories going on in the same book.

Detective Comics #38

New Anarky is cool.

Things I liked: all the detecting.

Things I didn't like: I don't think people would jump to those conclusions so quickly.

Future's End #37

Ha!  I did miss one!

Things I liked: Constantine is a dick.

Things I didn't like: I couldn't tell that I'd missed one until I sat down to do this.

Future's End #35

I liked the Terry Bat and Plastique pairing.

Things I liked: this is the part of the story that I'm interested in.

Things I didn't like: so where did the cover come from?

Batman Eternal #39

Batman versus Riddler.

Things I liked: it's hard to make the Riddler menacing.  These guys can do it.\

Things I didn't like: too many climaxes in this series.

Grayson Annual #1

Very fun story.  I figured out where they were going with this pretty early but that just added to the fun.

Things I liked: Dick can't help it.  He's a performer.

Things I didn't like: I think they bungled the ending a little.
