GREEN ARROW #21 - Meh, this is starting to get to preachy and the story suffers. I expect better from Chris Condon and will hold him to that standard.  Let's see if he can get back on track next issue.

Sadly, it does not.

Bummer. I may be dropping this then soon.

I think I missed part 1 to this arc. Why is Ollie wearing a mask again? Hiding his "secret" identity? I think #23 is the sixth and final part. Maybe the next story is better.

Absolute Martian Manhunter #1... definitely odd but fun to read. Visually, it's vivid and I think the art compliments the story.

GREEN LANTERN #20 - great issue!  Loved the sad story of the red lantern.  And the Kyle/Conner story was a lot of fun.  This is still a good book.

JUSTICE LEAGUE: UNLIMITED #4 - Really not enjoying this title at all.  I'll stick around for the villain reveal next issue but unless it's amazing I doubt I'll be around much longer.

SUPERMAN #23 - is that who I think it is on the final splash page!?!? Oh heck yeah!!! I can't wait for summer to get here and pick this up!!!!!!!!!

Spoiler

Lightning Lord! Saturn Queen! Cosmic King!  If the Legion of Super-Villains are back can the Legionnaires be far behind!?

Ok my bad.  My spoiler is totally wrong. But still I'm excited!

'Dammit!

I was hoping this was a blip

I've read...

Marvel

Deadpool 9 - still odd that his daughter is in on all these mercenary contracts, but maybe she inherited his insanity too. I dig the book

Uncanny X-men 8 - decent artist on to end the story. The ongoing 'Avians' mutants is going to be a mystery that I am actually curious about! Scurvy needs a bit more story though....
Immortal Thor 18 - I'd agree with Perry that the story right now, in this moment, with trying to prove Thor's innocence was...odd, and well, weak, but I'm still into the turns the story takes, particularly when family comes back to town!



I've read

DC

Absolute Wonder Woman 5 -AMAZING!! Such a testament to the character, happening here!!
Black Canary 4 -a cool background issue of meeting and knowing Ollie. Keep it moving, Tom!
Green Lantern 20 -interesting on the history of the Blacksmith. Poor guy. Also, Kon is a bit more of a dick, and Kyle was a bit more sheepish, all in front of a woman. But, super pumped about the next stuff!
Green arrow 21 -liking the writing, and the moving action of the art here. Very good, very solid read
Superman 23 -right now, Williamson and Mora are FIRE on this title; I love it!

and
Detective 1094 -digging the story and writing with King, digging the art by Janin-just good 'Batman' reading!
Justice League Unlimited 4 -I like this title. I'm good with reading it with just Rodney

Batman & Robin 16-18  - I didn't like the kinder, gentler Damian this started out with but by issue 18 I was glad I was in this story. Little bit of a slow burn but the tension that's there now is great.  Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Legion of Super-Heroes #295 - Nice respite after the big Darkness Saga.  Enjoyed the little Easter egg regarding Universo.

House of Slaughter Vol 5 (Collects issues 21-25) - Butchers War comes to a close. Unexpected and exciting ending. Where will the hoses go from here?

The Deviant Vol 1 (Collects issues 1-4) - Super creepy Tynion book. Serial killer mystery that's both disturbing and fascinating.  I'm not sure I'll be able to sleep tonight. Especially since it ended in a cliffhanger.

Yay! I felt the same way once I was 3 issues in to this arc, to read a better realized 'person' in Damian, in these issues. I'm glad my rec proved to work well!!

Legion of Super-Heroes #295 - Nice respite after the big Darkness Saga.  Enjoyed the little Easter egg regarding Universo.

Very cool issue; I dug these 3 issues of respite/ re-orienting the Legion towards recovery & pushing forward.

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

Superman - Ended with a great splash, though part of me... most of me feels a tad saddened that it seems my Absolute will soon be tampered with. Which, as I have been told, was the plan all along, I still wish otherwise. 

JLU - Yawn. Only thing keeping me halfway in this is the art

G. Lantern - A decent "Indy" story   but... no... nevermind... this was fine

G. Arrow - I think I am done here, but will give it one more issue to keep me

Last Halloween - Story is just okay, it was better the first time around (Long Halloween), but man the art by Sienkiewitz in this issue... yeah,  as hell

———————————————————————————————

Moths Vol 1 - Rather disappointing.  I'm not a fan of "photo" art to begin with but add in a pretty boring character story and what could have been great falls flat. The not thing interesting was the last few pages epilogue which hints at a much more important future.
