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.
