The First #13 - Another good issue. I want to just keep reading these! All of these Crossgen titles are so much fun.

Captain America #5 - Ok end to this story.  Does this take place in the 616? Didn't seem like it.

[Gay Titan]

Still have a couple books from last week to finish, but added these to the pile:

Absolute WW #17
Flash #30
Justice League Unlimited #16
Superman #35

[Perry]

I have eight Hoopla borrows left, so I am adding more than I want to this weeks list in the hopes I can get them read at some point. Maybe I'll get lucky this week and make it through, but I doubt it. Most chances, I will have to move a couple of them to next week as it is, but I don't want to just lose the borrows to the wind.
Also, Hoopla is still missing Conan #25 and Conan #27 (issue #29 just dropped), so I may add the couple missing Conan issues from that 'one site', but thinking I may just wait to see if the trade hits next week to help catch me up. We'll see. As it is I am already having to go to that place to read Skinbreaker #5

ABSOLUTE BATMAN #16 - Still one of DC's top three books out right now.  Love the team up with Absolute Wonder Woman.

ABSOLUTE FLASH #11 - Good issue. Bringing everything together.

ABSOLUTE WONDER WOMAN #16 - As always, excellent start to the new arc. This Wonder Woman remains most fascinating.

Nova Centurion #1 - I'm intrigued.  I like the way this has started but I don't really remember this villain.  McKay usually starts off good so I'm sure I'll enjoy this for a bit.

Ultimates #18 - finally the wait is over.  Next issue the true story begins.

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

Nova - Good start. Enjoyed this.

Omega Kids - Got a little too, modern day   for me at one point, nothing major, just a pet peeve maybe, but still enjoying this. Though I do feel lost at times... having not any read X-titles in a few months and only reading this mini, and none of the... what... 23 other damn titles 

Ultimates - Been slow getting here, too slow, but okay, let's kill this universe to make room for the next Ultimate Universe 

Absolute Bats - Love the purpose of the mission Bruce is currently on. Also loved the signal device from the Bats/WW crossover in WW being used already, and the warning that came with it about the limited use it has. That last one is gonna be important I think

Absolute WW - Fun intro for the new "team", just wish I hadn't been spoiled about it. That is the risk we take listening to podcasts 

Absolute MM - Be. A. Utiful !!!! Love the aesthetics of this book, the use (and purpose) of color, the perspective (both from the storyline and the art)... just amazing, just beautiful

Legion - Back-up story aside, I enjoyed this. I did. I mean, yes, I still have issues with "Sensor Girl" being on the team, for all the reasons they bring up in this issue (which for some reason didn't keep her from being voted in originally  ), and I am not a fan of Ayla being such a jerk to Brin, right or wrong, but yeah, this was fine.

Sojourn - So nice seeing Greg Land art... before I knew Greg Land art and how he went a little too crazy with his tracing elements   But I also love how this, and honestly, all of CG titles tie into other things inside the universe.

Conan the Barbarian vol 6 (Collects issues 21-24) - Good story arc and a bit of tragedy.  So goes the journeys of Conan.  I really need to get completely caught up with this series.

Assorted Crisis Events #6 - Now I'm depressed. Very impactful story and well written. This series continues to hit each issue.

Battle Beast 6 - Great ending. What a fantastically fun series this is!  Glad to see this is coming back with issue 7 in March!

Well, on Hoopla, you are caught up    Even though they did just drop issue #29 of Conan, they still do not have issues 25,26 or 28 yet. I expect the next trade out at anytime, so I'm thinking about waiting for that now
   

Assorted Crisis Events #6 - Now I'm depressed. Very impactful story and well written. This series continues to hit each issue.

I loved this story. With the mental issues my family has with dementia, especially on my mom's side, this story hit very close to home. Really made me reappreciate my grandmother and all she went through with my grandfather and my aunt. Such a damn good issue.

Battle Beast 6 - Great ending. What a fantastically fun series this is!  Glad to see this is coming back with issue 7 in March!

YES!! I was shocked to see it was continuing, but happy to see it
