[Jimmy T]

DC COMICS

Abso Flash 6 : Not...engaging. Been too scattershot, and really for me that I laugh, groan and go Wut dA heLL?!!

Spoiler

WALLY TAKES THE COSTUME OFF THE CHARRED CORPSE OF BARRY TO WEAR!! He talks all of it off!!! wtf is that moment supposed to be, cool?! What a joke!!! LOL

[close]

legion 309-310 - cool writing of all the side stories going on, and that development. Prophet & Omen were lame, but what an ending with bringing back back an old Legion member!

Okay...here we go...

SUPERMAN UNLIMITED #1 - you think I would be displeased with Slott's writing, right? Nope, it's Albuquerque's art. It's loosely him, as he progresses through his style. Reminds of Frank Miller on his final Sin City books and such. I don't like any face seen, perspectives of anatomy and foreshortening are poor. Just...ugh.
Also, I want kryptonite to mean something. Perhaps this secret that kept Superman from dying being that close to a meteor of Green K is why he didn't die. But still....

New gods 6 - so...I liked that goofy art.   I liked the pre-lim sketch look of it all.

B & R Year One 7 - just a cool & continued engaging mini series. Looking forward to the eventual Jason Todd year one! I really am!

Wonder Woman 21 - Tom King is just a great WW writer. Loved this little murder mystery-which actually has some huge future implications!

Batman & Robin 21 - oh man, I do love this book. I Really do. PKJ just gives me a great, long form written story that really humanizes Bruce and Damian. I love it!

Flash 21 -this is so damned weird, but I'm suddenly here for it! IT's insane! lol

World's Finest 39  & JLU 7 - had to read them back to back. I am....wishing for better artists, but man, weird shit is going on all over!!

ADDED

Abso Wonder Woman 8 - great stuff, as always!

GL Corps 4 - fill in artist, not bad issue, still get to see a plethora of characters

Detective 1097 - love Taylor on Batman. So great!

Action 1086 - Superstars 3 parters are over; onto Summer of Superman! and yes, this issue was just really okay

Batman Dark Patterns 6 - Really fun 'early' Batman stuff

[Jimmy T]

And

Aquaman 5 - just passing the pages, really

Batman 160 - Letting Loeb do whatever he wants to the Batfamily reminds me of them letting Bendis do whatever he wanted on the Super titles, no matter how much nonsense or damage it did.

Abso MM 3 - I'm not immensely in love with this, but that's more the story than the visuals, quite honestly.

Superman 26 - awesome awesome awesome. Loving this Williamson title!!
