Fury of Firestorm #13

This is another issue that makes me wish I'd read the zeroes.

Things I liked: yay! Just one Firestorm again!

Things I didn't like: things seem back to normal after what had just happened. Their parents are back in town. Ronnie has both arms... I'm a little lost

The Flash #13

I've been getting a lot of ribbing lately about DC's love of gorillas. The Flash is not helping my case.

Things I liked: some of the panel placement this issue were amazing. I love the art for this book.

Things I didn't like: I'm not down with the gorillas connection to the Speed Force. I guess it's an explanation of some ki d.

Batman Incorporated #4

I don't get this one, usually they're really good about crossovers in the Bat titles but something's off here. Damian still has his price, and Robins going out under a different identity is expected but I don't get the Damian hate on Jason or the declaration that he's going back to his mother. None of it works.

Things I liked: the Bat assault was kinda neat. I'm still not sold on incorporation.

Things I didn't like: I can only assure this some kind of fever dream because it doesn't track.

Arrow #8

This is a much better story about him than he last one.

Things I liked: the locals trying to track him down.

Things I didn't like: he let them get too close.

Aquaman #13

I'm satisfied with how this arc played out.

Things I liked: Arthur didn't kill Manta. That would have really changed his character. I also really liked the last few pages where the Prisoner went to talk with the families o the soldiers he carries around. I found it touching.

Things I didn't like: this whole turns of Atlantis thing coming up. It might be good, but it seems like its been done before.

All-Star Western #13

Jimmy Palmiotti must be enjoying his romp through DC's western characters. He's pulling in so many of them.

Things I liked: Haley's Circus. It roots this comic in the universe to have things that we're used to seeing in Gotham.

Things I didn't like: Talulah Black. I like her; I just don't want her with the boys all the time. It's like a girl in Supernatural - it breaks up the bromance. Hopefully she won't fall to the same fate.
