well, okay, I guess technically you're staying true to that. This isn't in trade form.
  

As for me, a light "new big two" week, as well as the wife going back to work for the first time in three weeks, has me feeling optimistic, or at least hopeful    that I can get through all these titles this week.
Oh, and I do want to try that FF, but while I think North is an okay writer, he doesn't get me fired up enough to try this new series... especially when it just continues the exact story of the previous volume. So why renumber? Because of Ramos coming on? Sure... let's go with that

[Jeff]

I'll let you know on that FF book. I have low expectations but figured I'd give a new #1 a try.

[Gay Titan]

I just read B&R Y1 #11 yesterday. Things are really wrapping up and it's been a fun year.

Scalped 35 - Man I forgot how good this series was!  This was a great one shot story in the series and reminds me of what a great writer Aaron was back in his early days.  The art was perfect for this series as well. Really gave you a sense of what it was like living on this reservation.  Kind of makes me want to reread the whole series.

FANTASTIC FOUR #1 - Hmmm. I'll give it another issue.  First issue setup for this story. Could go either way at this point.

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN: INCURSION #2 (OF 5) - I almost decided to bail out but the second half of the issue picked up quality.  Next issue has promise based on the cliff hanger.

Legion of Super-Heroes #320 - fun issue that felt like the older Legion days with a tour of the headquarters and some romance for a backstory.

———————————————————————————————

W0rldtr33 #12 - Ok! The start of Ph3ar's origin story. So far, off to a good start!

W0rldtr33 #13 - Sammi first encounter ps her evil self in the undernet. Very creepy drop into becoming Ph3ar.

W0rldtr33 #14  - And now a jump to the future where we learn more about Phe4r. And catch up with another character. Good and somewhat terrifying story.

W0rldtr33 #15 - The past is revealed. And the plan to save the world begins? Another good issue.

W0rldtr33 #16 - Yep. To be continued. Argh! Good ending and crazy how it's looping back together.  Hopefully we don't have to wait long for the next arc to get released!

[Jimmy T]

I've read ...

MARVEL

Wolverines Deadpools 1 - Ugh. I hate this villain, also Ziglar could lay off the 4th wall breaks a bit for Wade. Not sure when Laura started calling Logan 'Dad?'

X-men 19 - So, that's Revelation's Power. Hmm...

Both those books from last week. I've not anything to read this week. Skipping FF 1 because of Ramos


hoopla

Hyde St 9 - there's a lot of...foulness that is growing well here

Savage Sword of Conan 10 - I'm all Set for more

DC

From last week to finish!!
Batman Dark Patterns 10
Kryptonite Spectrum 2
Action Comics 1090
Batman & Robin 25

I did read
Tales of Legion 320 - Okay the back up was really cute and fun! I really liked it!! Looking forward to the Dawnstar centered 2-3 parter coming up!

The First #2 - still getting to know these many characters.  So far it's getting epic which one would expect from gods.

Sigil #7 - Starting to feel repetitive. Hopefully the next arc makes more progression.

It Happened on Hyde Street: Devour #1 - Terrifying. Just what you'd expect from Hyde street.  Miss Goodbody isn't near as scary as her clients can be. Horrific!

[Jeff]

Looking forward to the Dawnstar centered 2-3 parter coming up!

Me too!

Wow! It's been a long time since I've finished a list this early!

ABSOLUTE FLASH #7 - Much better story. This is finally starting to take off and it looks like fun is coming.

BATMAN & ROBIN: YEAR ONE #11 (OF 12) - Another good issue! Lots of action with all the clay faces. Looking forward for more!

THE NEW GODS #10 (OF 12) - the art in this issue was not great.  Wonder Woman and Granny Goodness both looked weird.  The story itself was fine but is feeling dragged out. It's time to wrap this up.

TITANS #27 - ugh. Possibly one of the lamest endings to a villain battle. It was fun from a nostalgia aspect but the story itself I found lacking.

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

Scalped - A good single issue story (I think, haha, not sure if these characters were mentioned prior or not) that does make me want to finally get back to this series. I read the first 3 or 4 back in the day, at some point, and always wanted to get back to it, but... 

Sigil - So, this isn't the greatest, but it is also not even close to being as remotely good as I remember. I thought it may have been the art on those early issues, but no. I know, at some point, at the very least, I had SOME fun while reading this series, but I did come on late to this (didn't get into CG until Negation #2), but remembering somewhat fondly, or at least better than this, I went ahead and looked forward to see about where I think I may have jumped in. So, I will be back to this series, once Jeff hits issue #11. If he is still on by that point anyway I will jump back into this title, but for now... See ya in three more issues if you're there, Jeff... 

Hellblazer - I just love when Demons think they got something for John. This arc is going to be a good one! 

New Gods - Really enjoying this story. Barely surviving most of the art 

Bat & Robin - Also an enjoyable read (with much, much, much better art), but I find I also somewhat wish it ended a couple issues ago. This could have been a tight 10 part mini! As is, a very good one still

And now...

Batman Dark Patterns 10 - I have enjoyed the weave of the stories here from Dan Watters. Feels so very lethal!

Kryptonite Spectrum 2 - Really not for me. This issue felt really stupid. Does this Kryptonite also make Superman a moron? The story development is baffling

Action Comics 1090 - I like seeing this young Clark, with Lana and Peter, and young Ma & Pa!

Batman & Robin 25 - Must be my Sopranos viewing, cuz I'm all jonesing for this old mob boss to come back to the fold and wreak havoc!

Worlds Finest 43 - I'm a glutton for some hyper Bizarro stuff everyone once in a while. This story almost tread on too much, but I enjoyed it!

Justice league Red 2 - Morbid curiosity is why I'm reading this. Just...why or how, has Reddy come to these decisions? I want to know that

Batman & Robin Year One 11 - still a very cool mini for me. And Original Robin costume is tops!!

Krypto Last Dog of Krypton 4 - yeah, saw that coming...

Abso Flash - for the Flash, rather slow book LOL. But looking good.

New Gods  10 -becoming much more of a book I skim through quickly. Which I'll do to get to the end of the series, unfortunately.

SCALPED 35 - POWERFUL issue! Great writing! Landed so very well!!! Well, not the landing didn't go well in there, but you know what I mean!

[Jimmy T]

And Uncanny X-men 246 - the Australian era I never read about! But I still don't know where the Siege Perilous item came from!!!

Absolute Batman #13
Absolute Flash #8
Blue Falcon & Dynomutt #2
Batman and Robin #26
Batman Superman: World's Finest #44
Nightwing #131
Thundercats #19
Titans #28...sadly a KO tie-in.

[Gay Titan]

Absolute Batman #13... LOVE this updated version of Selina. I do have a question, though. Bane really tore into Bruce's group of buddies last issue, yet "the Catwoman" is unscathed. Why?
