Funny, just glancing at the last couple of weeks with the Marvel offerings, and there is no wonder why I am not getting in a lot of MCU reading. I mean, sure, they have a couple decent to "okay" writers, but there is also a lot of mediocre and "Who the hell is that?" ones as well:

Williamson and Johnson probably lead the pack, for me, with Camp hitting pretty strong at times... oh and Kelly Thompson as well, but she's writing that kids Jeff comic, so not counting that, but then most writers, again, for me, are ranging from "okay, sometimes" to "meh" to "boring as hell"

North
Duggan
MacKay
Percy
Simone
Kelly
Jenkins
Seeley
Sacks
Paknadel?
Ayodele?
Landy
Loeb
Kennedy?
Hoser
Quinn?
Trujillo?

Who wouldn't be pulled into trying every comic from that list? 
 
And do NOT get me started on the massive amount of artistic talent currently employed at the "House of Ideas". That list is abysmal.
So yeah, another no Marvel week for me

—————————————————————————————

DETECTIVE COMICS #1111 - Nice twist! I'm really liking this arc and hope this team-up continues beyond it.

BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST 2026 ANNUAL #1 (ONE SHOT) - Good father story with Pa Kent and Alfred. I skipped the backup story.

THE PERIL OF THE BRUTAL DARK: AN EZRA CAIN MYSTERY #6 (OF 6) - Decent wrap up to this story arc. I'd read more of Ezra Cain's adventures.

Gotham Central 1 & 2 - Good start to this series. Who doesn't love a good Mr Freeze tale & being told from the police eyes instead of Batman is fun.
