Had to carry over the title I was most anticipating last week, thanks to a sick grandbaby, but still a very small list this week, so far. Maybe I'll get through them all that way?
 

Marvel Unlimited
Immortal Thor #17
Ultimate Spider-Man #11
Fantastic Four #185

DC Universe Ultra
Absolute Wonder Woman #4
Green Lantern #19
Legion of Super-Heroes #291

Hoopla

———————————————————————————————

Immortal Thor 17 - it's funny. I really want to drop this for some reason but each issue has something that keeps me in. Same here.  Very interested in how this cliffhanger works out!

PHOENIX #5 - this is surprisingly good. The most powerful cosmic beings rotating in and out has been fun.  Same here even though I don't like Eternity's new look.  The perfect villain for an all powerful Phoenix shows up for next issue!

WOLVERINE #3 - glad the Wendigo piece of this story wraps up.  The rest of the arc seems to be getting more intriguing!

ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #11 - finally some action I enjoyed! This was a good issue. A lot more happened.  Makes me excited for more.

———————————————————————————————

Legion of Super-Heroes #291 - The Great Darkness Saga part 2.  Great issue! And a new leader is elected!  Interesting that the identity of one of the servants is revealed and there is more history there than we originally know. 

Spoiler

Its the daughter of the Shadow Lass (Lyrissa Mallor) in the L.E.G.I.O.N. series that first appears in issue #8! It's a flashback scene on page 21 and she's a baby.

[close]

Animal Castle Vol 2 #2 & 3 - Excellent 2 issues.  Sadly it's been over a year since issue 3 came out and no issue 4. From what I can tell issue 4 may have come out in the comics original language but not yet in a translation.  I'm hoping it isn't done as there was a bit of a cliffhanger left.

The Resistance: Reborns - nice compendium to the first volume. 5 short stories about different Reborns. Thumbs up.

I've read...

MARVEL
Chasm #4 -decently written about Ben & Kaine...but ultimately pretty poor, for the end of the story and the resolution. Amazing Spider-man 60 had a far better Ben resolution storyline

Immortal Thor & Ultimate Spider-man yet!

DC
Still catching up from last week!!
Actually....
Reading ahead!!
Legion 292-293 - Darkness Saga is still so truly good!! No worries, Perry, about a childhood memory being ruined, this is still AWESOME Legion!!
Wonder Woman 15-17 - I'm gonna have to read King's WW opus once it's over. What a weaving of tales!
Black Canary Best of the Best 2-3
Green Arrow 20 (But Legacy 353 was on the cover! I hadn't been looking at those) -quick issue. Some good resonance at least. Ending was what I thought it was going to be.
JL The Atom Project -definitely intrigued. But man, Mike Perkins just keeps getting sketchier and looser on art!

Batman & Robin 14 -got a backlog of these. With Phillip Kennedy Johnson writing, and that junk Di Meo not doing art on this arc, I decided to try it. I'm glad I did! Time to go through another 4!

And now...

Ultimate Spider-Man 11 - It's...fine....but nothing I'm in love with. Or anything that makes me go WHUP! AWESOME!
like...
IMMORTAL THOR 17 - HOT DAMN that was COOL!!! Loved it!! Knew exactly where stuff was going at the end!!


Green Lantern 19 (or Legacy 586!!)  Cool Stuff!! Love seeing:

Spoiler

Evil Star! I don't think Johns ever really touched him, so making him a Big Bad for this Magnum Opus story looks really cool to me!

[close]

Hoopla!

Geiger 8 - OH cool stuff. Nice job Paul Pelletier!
TMNT 6 - great looking pages. Digging the book and where its' starting and running from
Redcoat 8 - a bloody good row!

[Gay Titan]

Green Arrow #21
Green Lantern #19
Justice League Unlimited #4
Superman #23
Ultimate Spider-Man #14

Justice League Unlimited #4 - Best issue so far. Alot of great character moments and they continue to surprise with cast members.

Superman #23 - not on my regular pull but love the Time Trapper. The last page has me excited!

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

Thor - This was okay, but... don't think I am feeling this right now. Hoping it was just me being in a mood

Ultimate Spidey - This on the other hand? Fantastic!!

F.F - this is mostly in-between the ones above. I remember it much more fondly that this hit this time around, but again, could be my mood.

Absolute WW - Another banger from Thompson and Sherman, who dude draws the shit out of this book. I am not a "super large sword" fan, but the results were cool. Looking forward to the conclusion of the Tetracide arc and maybe finding out more about Circe's... enchantment(?) of the lasso

GL - Good art, but... I don't know... I couldn't care less about the upcoming villains and and I am over the spectrum stuff that still seems to be hanging around? I will give the Corps title a try, of course, but I am thinking I will be over both GL titles before long.

Legion - Wildfire's shock at Dream Girl wanting to run for leader aside ("... next thing you know, Krypto will be running"), was a little strange seeing as how Earth has a female president... this hit almost as strong as it did originally for me. Giffen is the man.

Green Arrow #21
Green Lantern #19
Justice League Unlimited #4
Superman #23
Ultimate Spider-Man #14

Green Arrow #21... the art is slowly growing me but the story is really intriguing. It's good to see Ollie back in the city and not at a cosmic level.

Green Lantern #19... I haven't followed a GL book in a few years. Alot of characters I don't know but I loved the continuity with JLU and Aquaman books. Who is the other female time traveler Kyle referenced?

Good question.  Since this is Odyssey's first appearance it could be anyone.  Maybe Booster Gold?      Or someone new we haven't met yet?

I wish I could answer,but unfortunately, neither can I!!

Dark Knights All Winter 2-5 -really cool! I forgot there was 2 stories in here! Enjoyed them both! Looking forward to 2025...hey, that's now! Bring on the next mini!

Batman & Robin 14-17 : Okay, I've liked Philip Kennedy Johnson, and now that Di Meo isn't wasn't paper with their art, this new arc really is good! I really like seeing this Damian! He's a ...rounded person!

Superman Lex Luthor Special 1 : are we getting the old Lex back?

Green Lantern/Green Arrow World's Finest Special Team up (& Flash) - what an odd...issue to publish. I'm not sure who or what or why this issue was made for....there wasn't anything to be known that wasn't known before, no special wrinkle to appreciate in any relationship dynamic...so what was the point?

Jenny Sparks 1,2, part of 3, skip to 6... I don't like this. Tom King at his worst kind of navel gazing bitter commentary. Not a fan here. This should be skipped
