The Joneses Vol 1 - Good book! This universes version of the Incredibles.  A family of Reborns looking to show the world there's nothing to be scared of.  Easy fast read and great characters.  Fun for the whole family!

MARVEL

Immortal Thor 19 ...when I get around to it

But I'm reading, with much joy...!

...DC COMICS

Superman 24 - WOW. Wasn't expecting any of what I didn't expect to occur! Nice to see Eddy Barrows draw again!

Absolute Wonder Woman 6 - Loved it. Great issue. Awesome art fill in

Absolute Martian Manhunter - tripped out and cool. I kind of wish this was the actual origin and something for our J'onn to actual refer to as his origin

Batman 158 - first part of Hush! So sketched out looking; I think I would have liked a harder line on the inking, to be honest. I'm here to see why or how this is going on!

Green Lantern 21 - I love Kyle's "Super-team" as its called. I enjoy some classic Kon! I had wondered how long it was going to take before

Spoiler

it was suggested that all the colors need their Power Batteries back.[/color]

[close]

Legion of Super-Heroes 300 - I liked that a bunch. really liked this issue!

Justice League Unlimited 5 - this book moves through events QUICK

EDIT : ADDITIONS

Legion Annual 2, 301 -an some part of 302 -I"m so enjoying what's going on!! Gotta slow down here!!

hoopla

Beneath the Trees where No One Sees  -psycho stuff here! There was writing in issue 1 that made me question the writer's history, and the upset nature I felt at issue 3 made my anxiety rachet up!

Batman #159
Justice League Unlimited #6
Summer of Superman Special #1
Superman #25

Batman #159...Great continuation from last issue but I am curious as to character motivations. I wish DC would stop adding preview pages in the back and give us a full issue of story/content. Lame and lazy on their part.

Superman #25... I love a good Lex story but this was better than expected. It was more than Lex vs Superman. The ending was no surprise.

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

Assorted Crisis Events - WOW!!! This was an amazing issue. I can see that this series is going to be very much an Ice Cream Man type of series where we get one shots that tie into some broader (yet Unknown) connection, but this one issue was something special. The subject may rile a few, but it was done, artistically, so damn amazing that I hope everyone fuill absorbs the story as a presentation, more than the story itself. Incredible. Comic of the month.

Batman - On the flipside of that... sigh... this is (and ya know I am going to say it)... this is fine. Jim Lee has obviously lost a step, understandably (I am not condemning him for aging or being somewhat out of practice), but I think, or I wish, this was just a mini-series outside the main title. No idea why, I just think, for me, it would "Feel" a little better? Hell, I don't know. And it could be I am just tired of Loeb, I did just drop his Last Halloween book as well. Again, this book is fine, but yeah, I'm trying not to read "fine" comics, so I'm out. Compare this to ACE #2, something I should never do (a comic should stand on its own merit, not compared to books you also have read that week  ) and this just can't compare. Still, yeah, it was fine, though highly average feeling
