Detective - Sorry, can't remember the number here. It's good. I still like the one shot format even though Dini sat this month out. There are some reviewers who don't like it. But I read enough long arcs. Having a story which ties up nicely reminds me of the old Batman comic books my Grandmother used to get for me at garage sales.

Ex Machina #24 - Speaking of long arcs, this book is still trying to find itself. I wonder if BKV did the right thing by limiting the story to four years' worth of issues. I get the feeling this would be much better if he just allowed it to sprawl out.

Midnighter #1 - I'm someone who pays attention to The Authority but doesn't actively read it month-to-month. But I'll give the Midnighter series a shot because he's the most interesting member of The Authority. The first issue was kind of a refresher course on him followed by an action sequence and then starting the main thrust of the plot. If the next issue is any good, I'll stay with it.

After looking at some of the comics I thought I was going to buy I changed my mind. I ended up getting:

300 HC With the movie coming up I wanted to pick this up. I've been meaning to get it for a while. Still working on it, but really enjoying it.

Mouse Guard #5 More great stuff. I'm sad there's only one issue left, but with as good as it's been selling they'll probably do another round of it.

52 - OK. As always, I liked the Ralph Dibny stuff. Also, there was a fair amount of genuinely funny material (Morrison?). Still, this is becoming pretty solidified as a book strictly for hardcore DC fans, which is a shame. DC should have taken a more newbie friendly approach here. With every big event, DC increases its need for a Ultimate Universe sort of thing. It is just not one-third as new reader friendly as Marvel.

Action Comics - fantastic! I highly recommend this one, even to people who have never read a Superman comic!

DD #90 - Loved it, although I wish more would have happened. Still, the artwork was worth the price of admission.

JLA #3 - Meltzer is taking it much slower with this than Identity Crisis, but it still just as gripping. Benes's art rivals Jim Lee's. Simply amazing book!
