ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #4 - slow start and I was starting to get bored but then it took a pretty good turn. Wound liking this issue and pretty optimistic this will take off next issue.

BATMAN #157 - Glad that arc is over.  It really wasn't good.

BATMAN: OFF-WORLD #6 (OF 6) - Man. This was a really good mini except for how the baddies are ultimately defeated. I hated that. Seemed so stupid. Otherwise it was a fun mini, had some awesome new characters for the DC universe, and absolutely amazing art. Just needed a better way to defeat the villains.

******************************************

Green Arrow - I read issue 18 again, just to remind myself of what had transpired three months ago, before I forgot I wanted to read this because I like Condon's stuff (what little I have been exposed to) and yeah, it was good. It got me set to read the next two issues I had forgotten about and while I did enjoy them, I do now remember why I am not a Green Arrow fan. There are parts to his make-up that I enjoy, his brashness, his Batman'esque way of dishing out pain and not caring that he does and of course his anti-corporation stance is a HUGE win for me, but holy hell he can come off as being a little freaking panzy ass at times. It's like listening to an Emo in a cape. The entire prison scene in that last issue was just a bit too much preaching, but again, that's a personal thing. It was done well at least. Haha. I mean, all that said, I still enjoyed this and am very, very intrigued with that ending!?!?!?! Yes, I will be back!! 

LoSH - I remember this, even though it is somewhat vague, but yeah, I thought they were going to have the reveal this issue, in the way it was heading. Haha. Still can't stand that Levitz teenage pettiness that he has to throw in at least once an issue (this time with Dream Girl being a little too bitchy towards Element Lad for not congratulating her on winning the team leader post), but man, the fun is certainly here. Mon-El? I mean, BOOM!! That was awesome and that is one of my favorite legionnaires, but damn he got KTFO. Haha.

Hellblazer - A very well written issue. All talking heads, so not for everyone, but man, just two friends, out having a drink, reminiscing, but still such a great read 

JSA - I have to say that I agree with Jimbo on almost everything he said about this title. I don't hate the art as much, even though I originally despised it on his Flash, but it is not a fit for this title I think. I don't know, I go back and forth with it. Sometimes, some panels, it looks like something Todd Nauck would do, and I love the Nauck, but mostly I feel that there could be so much more impact if a different, darker styled artist was on board. Maybe? And sadly, the story, the writing, hasn't hit me yet either 

Batman - Not the best fill-in arc, looking forward to the next run, (Hush, here we come again once again) but certainly agreeing with Jimmy on Gordon   

Absolute Supes - Best issue so far, for me. Lots of talking heads (again, this week) but also lots of cool information and broadening of the world.

JSA #4 - a better issue this month and the art seemed better too.  Maybe I'm just getting used to it?

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE ATOM PROJECT #2 (OF 6) - an ok issue. Moved the story along slowly but still fun reading a Captain Atom centric tale.

Legion of Super-Heroes #292 - The Great Darkness Saga part three - another great issue.  This was the Legion at its best and it still holds up.

Absolute Batman #3-5... really liking the origin story and flashbacks. The conversations between Bruce and his father in issue #4 were the best! I was hoping it would wrap up but it looks like we have one more issue.

Herculoids #1... I loved the cartoon but didn't know much of the backstory. Great intro issue but seemed short on pages.

Justice League: the Atom Project #2... Meh. Not impressed. With that title, I was hoping for more of the Atom(s) and less of Captain Atom. It's a six-issue mini and I am not sure I will be finishing it.
