Ha, yeah, I saw you didn't have it on your list, I should have clarified. You say you like her, is it the art or writer that is keeping you away from this or are you just not interested in it?

It was never even on my radar.

Mine either until I saw it on that site that it was being released today

What I've read:

Marvel Unlimited
Amazing Spider-Man 56 - Pretty chilling writing, actually! Nice!!
Chasm: Kurse of Kane! 1 - Perry if you hadn't read the last 6 years of Spider-man, yeah, this will mostly fall flat for you. I enjoyed getting into the issue, myself.
Immortal Thor 14: So cool! I love big Marvel godly mythos adventures!!

NEED TO FINISH: Ultimates 3, Ultimate Spider-man 8

DC Ultra

Legion of Super-heroes 275-277 -just want to get out of Conway's writing! But I'm liking some of the amnesia stories with Ultra Boy, honestly. It's a fun little wrinkle. 276 and the mystery story with Ditko art was meant to be skipped. And the new 2 parter with Conway scripting and Thomas writing looks to be a little different at least.

Batman 154 - well...THAT was an issue!!!
Action 1074 - I like it a lot. It sings to me
Titans 16 (from 2 weeks back, I think....) The first all in-...And Pete Woods' art has continued to go to places I don't care for. It's ...not a winner of a title. I think I'm going to bail immediately
Nightwing 119 - I like the story...the art by Dexter Soy is SOOOO 90'S!!! He still draws just like that, huh? Spikey split hair cut like FFVII ala Christian Slater from the 80s? Okay then...LOL

ABSOLUTE Superman #1 - I like the Sci Fi feel to this almost like an upgraded version of the 50's comics.  Wasn't sure I was going to like it at first but so glad it ramped up.

ACTION COMICS #1074 - I have to agree with Perry that the main story has taken a turn I don't care about.  I would have preferred staying in the Phantom Zone with Mon-El.  I'm sure it'll get back to it but don't care about this diversion. Nor the Conner/Keenan storyline.  But I'm really liking the Super-girl backup story. Am I the only one?

Batman 154 - Mixed feelings here.  Really good story up to the end.  The cliff hanger is interesting BUT in order to make it work they change made in a certain character is a bridge too far.  Let's see how this plays out but right now isn't working.

PLASTIC MAN: NO MORE #3 (OF 4) - Holy Wow! I did not see that coming. Great issue with twisted twists abounding.  Can't believe there's only one issue left!

GREEN ARROW 2024 ANNUAL #1 - Good annual. I enjoyed the story even though I predicted the outcome.  Possibly a good place to drop off, on a high note. I'm just tired of the large cast. Need a break for a bit and maybe come back later.

JSA #1 - Nice start to a new series. I like the mix of old and new and the return of a different society. I'm in!

I like the Supergirl story!
And the Connor/Kenan story!
And the main story!

I'm a fan!!

EDIT:
Absolute Superman 1 - Agreed with everyone; liked it a lot!
JSA 1 - I'm down with this. Cool issue. Big tension, feels like old Johns stories are carried forward.
Shazam 17 - Nope, I held out hope on a garbage issue 16. 17 is utter trash. The art is comical in how poor, bad, unprofessional, visually terrible and insulting to the readers. I'm so out.
