Sisterhood #5 - Great Hyde Street mini with a twist ending I should have expected but didn't. Excellent.

Geiger #19 - I liked this issue this interlude issue with the Burning Woman.  But especially liked the surprise person at the end of the issue!  Simon Pure hunting Geiger! Oh yes!

Geiger #20 - Yes! The Northerner shows up immediately after his appearance in Redcoat.  Things are coming together.

Geiger #21 - I liked this issue and how this is moving.  And especially how characters run across each other from other books and stories.

Geiger #22 - Wow! I didn't expect that cliff hanger! These Northerners arcs are fantastic!

The flaming skeleton? I assumed it was Zatanna. The final words were "burn the witch" backwards. Call it ignorance but are male skeletons different than female skeletons? Could it be her father, Zatarra?

Fight Girls  #1–5 - Really good Frank Cho book. A Squid Games like tournament to see who will be the next queen of the planet. 

Legion of Super-Heroes Annual #2 - That made no sense. 
Spoiler
Why would Darkseid kidnap the baby, turn him into Validus, and just give him back?
[close]
No sense at all.

Crux #7 - A bit of an interlude that leads to our next arc and perhaps some answers to what has happened to the human race.  Good issue.

Crux #8 - Start of the new arc and a good mystery! Loving this book.

Ruse #1 - Good start to something more mysterious than just the day to day crimes our Sherlock Holmes like character solves. I suspect some interference from the First or the ones behind the Sigil.

Ruse #2 - Wow! That was some unexpected craziness! Now I'm officially sucked into this mystery.

—————————————————————————————

WONDER WOMAN 14 - Yes. The absolute best issue to start on.  Explains everything one needs to know and kicks it all off (with a death).  Now I'm excited about reading more.

WONDER WOMAN 15 - Retribution begins and all princesses are involved! Good start to the fallout from the previous issue.  I would not want to be in this villains shoes.

WONDER WOMAN 16 - "...we eagerly awaited her arrival.    We hoped to see her at our doorstep, banging and screaming.  Her eyes tearful. Her teeth bared.  Her fists clenched.  Nails digging into her own skin.  Her fury was to be our victory.  Instead.......we got the chimp.."
I knew right there I was gonna like this issue. Then what followed is a Detective Chimp investigation basically written as COLUMBO! I LOVE THIS ISSUE! One of the best comics I've read this year.

THE PERIL OF THE BRUTAL DARK: AN EZRA CAIN MYSTERY #1 - I liked it.  Good start to an old fashioned noir mystery.

2000 AD Prog 2469: Death of a Judge?
A few of these got better so I'm giving them all another chance.
   Judge Dredd - Good start to a new arc that seems interesting.
   Herne & Shuck - Good story building here and a quest!
   Young Death - Extremely creepy.  Interested but not sure I can stomach this.
   Azumith - I don't understand this one.  But it might get better as we go along.
   The Discarded - Oh wow. Nice twist in this story.  It might become my favorite story.

Not All Robots   #1–5 - Really good story by Mark Russel. He's really much better at the independent stuff.  This is timely s well with AI and the talk of robots doing our work for us.

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

2000AD - Some decent stories and I enjoyed the ending of Red Dragon. Yeah, that was cool. The painted Judge Dredd story was creepy looking, which was cool, the story was... well enough. Still enjoying Rogue Trooper a lot.

Crux - All this title does is remind me why it was one of my favorite comics of this time. Not just in the CG universe, but of all the comics I was reading at the time this came out (which admittedly wasn't too much, as CG's Negation is the sole reason I came back into comics after the 90's). Still, I would put this, and a couple more CG titles up there for the absolute best of 2002/2003.  

Legion Ann 2 - Just "Ugh" atop more "Ugh". While I still owe Levitz an apology for thinking that the horrendous Conway written Legion was his, this book, even years later, still reinforces the point that I do like Levitz's writing. It is damn so... childish at times. And I get it, I understand why, but yeah... ugh

Infernal Hulk - Yep, one of those rare Marvel titles that has my pumped for what's around the corner. A true rarity for Marvel nowadays, and I very cool book
