Conan Vol 4 - (Collects issues 13-16) - I liked this arc.  Doesn't hurt having a sexy naked girl wandering through the snow. But the story itself was intriguing and makes me want to learn more about her and her "people".

Some of my favorite stuff about these issues is the postscript writing on what these stories reference in the original presentation, history of the original writing, and who all has already written this story.

Love that as much as reading the issues themselves!

Add to my reading...

Time before Time Vol 4-6 - a fine read. Glad I spent the time on this.

TMNT vol 3 - the Shredder returns! Er, debuts! I'm liking this a lot!

Redcoat 10 - Fun issue with Annie Oakley.  This went from a title to drop to one of the most fun Ghost Machine books.

Something is Killing the Children 0 - Good setup for what I'm assuming will be the next arc. Very intriguing!

BATMAN & ROBIN YEAR ONE #5 (OF 12) - Another good issue with a lot of fun with Clayface.

THE NEW GODS #3 (OF 12) - A little too much for me I think.  Lots of new background that left me confused.  I'm still in as I bet this all comes together in a good way.

JENNY SPARKS #7 (OF 7) - Sadly, I really didn't like this in the end.  So much potential with resurrecting Jenny Sparks and it got lost in some kind of meta physical gobbledygook.  King doesn't always knock it out if the park and this one flopped for me.
 
Legion of Super-Heroes #294 - The climax to the Great Darkness Saga! The most well known Legion story and still a great read. I really enjoyed revisiting this epic tale and the great Giffen art.

Batman & Robin 14 & 15 - Pretty good start to this arc by this new creative team.  I like it so far.

Didn't make it all the way through the list.  Moving the rest to next week.

Batman & Robin Year One #3-6... binged a few issues and love it! The retro art and characterization are top notch!
Absolute Batman #6... Meh! Not the best ending and not digging this Alfred. Love Martha and Julia, though.
Absolute Flash #1... WOW!!! GREAT first issue and the love the villain re-designs. That last page has me hooked!

This is good news!  I'm looking forward to getting to this!

Finally got to my LCS and picked up:

Absolute Batman #6
Absolute Flash #1
Batman & Robin: Year One #6
Batman/Superman: World's Finest #37
Herculoids #2
Nightwing #124....Still need to read 121-123.
Thundercats Lost #1

 

I am almost caught up on my backlog of comics since Christmas. I am binging six months of Nightwing this weekend.

Thundercats Lost #1... Not bad, but not great either. It's great to see new characters and get some history about Thundera. I read Thundercats Apex afterwards. If this is the prequel to the next storyline in the main title, I will take a pass.
