It has been a great couple of days of reading so far.
All Star Superman #4 is easily the stand out read for me right now. Never thought I could like a Jimmy Olsen story. Nevermind "like." This I loved! Wacky self-contained story-telling with nods to Silver Age and beyond. It is a great change from plot heavy reads like Daredevil and Ex Machina.
Ex Machina #21 - Again, excellent stuff.
Superman/Batman #27 - Felt like filler. It was filler. Not very impressed with this book. Only one standout issue (#26) in the last year or so.
New Avenger #20 - I think I am going to drop this once the Civil War story concludes. I want to see what is in this book due to the guest artists lined up. After that, I'm done.
Robin #151 - Holy Crap Batman! What a run this OYL story has proven to be! And now the new Capt. Boomerang is going to show up! Identity Crisis #5 still gives me the chills. This is a meeting I cannot afford to miss.
Manhunter #23 - This is turning out to be a great arc. A lot of attention to the JSA and All Stars history. Can't wait to see Dr. Psycho's trial conclude.
Justice #6 - Superman tossed into the sun by Shazam. A two-page splash! Incredible! Gosh! Can you tell I like DC?
This weekend - Flash #1, Shadowpact #2, Conan #29, Conan:Book of Thoth #3 & #4
James Robinson's Golden Age is my tpb for the weekend. I am also re-reading Loeb and Sale's The Challengers Must Die! tpb. Their first work together.

I forgot to add 52 #7!
What a scene between Ralph and Booster! This has been great. I was doubtful, but I am really starting to believe that this is really going to come out EVERY week on time. I don't know how happy I'll feel once the last one hits and we can't get a weekly anymore.

Romita's art is actually the reason I'm not picking this up. (It's also the reason I dropped Wolverine during Miller's excellent run.) To each his own...

This was ok, I'm not a huge fan of Dedato's work |
In the same thread there's JRJr praise and Deodato dislike?! Crazy!

I'm so glad others are experiencing how bad ass this book has been!!! Come on, it's Robin, the boy in tights, right? Who would guess that it would rock this hard?! The One Year Later creative team is off the hook!!! _________________ "Flash is back. Worlds will die again!" |

It's been a long time since I've seen Romita's art look that good. I don't know if he's been inspired by the Kirby muse or if it's the inker, but DAMN! |
