INGLORIOUS X-FORCE #2 - Good progress. Eliminated one suspect and moving on to the next.

IRON MAN #2 - Still on the fence with this one but I'll be back for next issue.

PSYLOCKE: NINJA #2 (OF 5) - Psylocke vs Electra. Great issue. Great fight scenes.  Reminded me of the Frank Miller Dare Devil days.

ULTIMATES #21 - Oh yeah - that was pretty good.  A lot of fun watching the ultimate Defenders come into play. Very nice twists.

[Gay Titan]

JSA #20

I dropped this quite awhile ago.  Did it get any better?

I took a break during the last arc, but picked up last month's issue. It's in the present and focuses on the Spectre.

I'm moving slow this week but hopefully will make faster progress starting after work.

PUNISHER #1 - I liked this issue. A flawed Punisher and the remake of an old villain. Feels new for a change.

ROGUE #2 (OF 5) - decent enough issue  with Rogues powers going haywire.  Coming back for more.

Late as hell with this list, and now, as I am so late, I am sure I am forgetting something, HA, but I will add if I do remember something I forgot.

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

2000AD -
    Judge Dredd - Not the best, but loved the magnetic glove... problem 
    Herne & Shuck - Ha, of course. One more to go? Maybe? Sadly? I do really like this one
    Brink - Soooo lost. I did see where this is being collected. I think, with all the characters, I need to read it that way.
    The Discarded - Still great looking panels, but I am still not reading it. Maybe I will try again at some point? Looks great
 
Conan - I am really dug the last arc (because of the origin style), but these two issues, starting a new arc has this new character (at least new to me) that is pretty wild.

Rook - I know it started a couple issues ago, but yes, this is really starting to find it's feet (this and Geiger). Good creepy stuff here!

Ex. Corpses - Passed on this when I heard what this book was about, but I think I may have misheard or at the very least misinterpreted what one of my podcasts said this book was about. Jeff liked it, which shocked the hell out of me at the time (again, I was thinking it was something different), so I decided to try. Pretty damn cool. Each chapter co-written and drawn by different talent, so that is also kind of cool.

Abs. Supes - Decent enough issue, and though I have never... ever, ever... been a fan of Steel, I liked him here.

Spoiler

King Shazam

[close]

I could give or take though.

Ultimates - May have been my favorite issue of this title, but I am sure recency bias is a part of that.

Spoiler

Loved evil Cannonball here

[close]

Punisher - Enjoyed this a lot. Looking forward to more of this, and that is odd to say about Punisher, with Punisher just being Punisher again, and not a figurehead for The Hand, which is the last book I think I enjoyed with him. Sure, give me some street level Frank

Iron Man - I liked this better than issue one, so I am hoping that trend continues!

Infernal Hulk - Really enjoyed seeing... all the... yeah, you know,

Spoiler

the different Hulk personas

[close]

. And sure, it's been done before, a lot, but that takes nothing away from this issue!

[Jimmy T]

I'm all caught up! ON everything! I'm still here! I read... alot! But sometimes typing on the weekend is the last thing I want to do!

—————————————————————————————

Legion of Super-Heroes #37 - Good part 1 for this story vs the Time Trapper with Smallville in the past as our first stop.

ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN #19 - Awesome issue! Absolutely loved the cliffhanger splash page.  This arc is a lot of fun and I'm happy that a certain villain had his demise. Even though it's comics so not likely to be permanent.

BATMAN #9 - So I guess this was the lead up the Barbara Gordon mini series.  It was fine.  But I'm not sure what's holding me on this title.  I think this was it for me, at least for a while. If you guys tell me different down the line I'll come back.

TALES OF THE GREEN LANTERN CORPS: GUY GARDNER #1 (ONE SHOT) -Meh, not a bad issue but nothing to write home about either.

DETECTIVE COMICS #1107 - I knew I was in when Batman told Green Arrow it was his city and GA said "I don't see your name on it." And they're standing under Wayne Tower.  🤣

DETECTIVE COMICS #1108 - Good part two and I'm finding the mystery intriguing.  Typical Ollie too. So much fun.

[Perry]

BATMAN #9 - ... I think this was it for me, at least for a while. If you guys tell me different down the line I'll come back.

Well I won't be able to tell ya. I dropped that boring title a few issues back.

And I am still mad about having to do so. THIS is a Fraction book?
