A lot lighter on the Big Two this week, which is not a bad thing. Should allow me to get caught up and add a few more titles outside of those two companies. I did add Justice League Red at first, but then I saw it was written by a writer I don't connect with so I dropped it back. A catch and release, if you will
;D

Legion of Super-Heroes #318 - Hmmm. This seems to take place before issue 4 of the other series. That will probably happen the way we're reading these. An ok issue but I always like seeing members of the Fatal Five around.
BATMAN AND ROBIN #24 - Well that story is finished. I'll be honest, I stopped enjoying this several issues ago but stuck with it to see how it ended. It was ok I guess but not really something I wound up liking.

Ult Panther - Meh. I'll leave it at that
Legion - Was wanting to drop this, just a feeling more than anything, but the way this ended, I am on for at least one more issue. And yes, honestly, it was only that, the ending, that made me decide to come back, but regardless of how and why, isn't that what a comic is supposed to do? Make you want to "come back next month"? So I suppose, yeah, that is a win for this issue :)

Booster Gold - This was a cool issue. It brought me back to when I was really into DC for the first time... I mean actually buying them, not just reading them. Never heard of Peter Platinum, and with this issue's numbering I understand why :) but it was kind of cool. I enjoyed the stuff after the meeting more though... and I think we are supposed to do just that.
Geiger - FINALLY!! The story seems to actually be progressing forward. I know, I know, it has been, but it has also felt like one big circle, going nowhere at the same time. But now, yes, finally it feels like we are heading... somewhere!
New Gods - Ugh, to the art, but man is the story starting to go now. Ha, yes after nine issues, ha, but hey, I have enjoyed this slow ass pace a very good deal. No complaints here... other than for that art.
Detective Comics - A really good (extremely fast) anthology. We open with a no dialog story that hits hard (for what it is) and we finish with a good one as well. I ended up liking three out of the four stories a good bit, and the fourth wasn't what I would call a waste of time, so wins all around
B&R Year One - I mean, once again, a joy to read, but I also feel like this story is getting a little long in the tooth. I don't think they needed all of these issues to tell this story, but while it feels a little padded, it also feels like I just should have read this collected? Maybe it wouldn't feel that way to me then. Now I am not saying this isn't good, as it most certainly is, but... yeah...

100% why I chose this! That, and the family knowledge of this issue!

Agreed, really REALLY liked 3 of the 4. For me, the Joker hand wound story was nothing.

I find myself enjoying this more and more as it goes along.

heck yeah, me too! As I was looking at all the collected covers on DC Ultra, I forgot how much I LOVED the near full entirety of this run!

GREEN LANTERN CORPS #7 - Hmmm. I was starting to get bored with this then BAM! I'm interested in where this is going...and also very worried.
TRINITY: DAUGHTER OF WONDER WOMAN #3 (OF 6) - This is just ridiculously fun. Another good issue and great break from reality.
Conan the Barbarian Vol 5 (Collects issues 17-20) - first half almost caused me to bail on the series but the second half recovered and I want to see what happens next. Some fun characters show up.

DEATH OF THE SILVER SURFER #1 (OF 5) – I like it. Good start to what looks to be a great mini.
PHOENIX #12 - this just got interesting with the cliffhanger! I'll. E back to see how this guest star plays into this!
ULTIMATE BLACK PANTHER #17 - I liked this issue. Good setup for the conflict to come. Looking forward to the action!
Been catching up on my reading while Shawn naps in his hospital bed.
BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE #10 (OF 12) ... I really enjoy this series and will miss it in a couple of months. It's a good mix of gangsters and our usual rogues.
Titans #26... love the current version of DP. The villain makes sense, but I had to dig into the archives to remember his last appearance.
Looks like I'm rolling over comics again!
Quote from: Jeff on Sep 22, 2025, 01:53 AMLooks like I'm rolling over comics again!
and it looks like I will be reading online til I can get to my LCS. Out of physical books.
Like Jeff, I am carrying over.
And unlike Jeff, there is no excuse. I just didn't get to them

TMNT - Ya know, I enjoyed this relaunch, I did, but I think I am anthropomorphized out. I haven't even started the second volume of "Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees" yet, because it is animal based, and I LOVED that first book. As for this issue and this title, haha... it was okay. But then I haven't overly enjoyed the last two or three as much as I did at the start. They were good, I enjoyed them, but again, just not as much. Sooo, while I may finish up this arc (if it ends with the next issue), I think I am done after that.. maybe before. :-\
Solomon Kane - A great start to the new series starring the Puritan with Rage. Actually, beat wise, it's a little slower than I thought it would be, but that, I think, will be a good thing. A fine addition to what Titan is doing with the Howard properties :)
Conan - Finishing up (not really) the Set arc but the art here, and I don't know if it was the same last issue, but this guy's art, Fernando Dagnino, has a striking resemblance to the art style of Paul Pelletier, but just different enough not to be a direct copy and I loved it. Yeah, excited for the next story coming through Conan soon!! 8)
Silver Surfer - I wasn't going to read this. Not with my adolescent mentality of never wanting to see the death of this character portrayed in any way that differs from the one I was given by JMS ::), so yes, I was merely protecting the memory of the great, AMAZING story Silver Surfer: Requiem by initially not reading this, but Jeff said it was good, so I did. It was, so I'm glad. For now... ;)
