New Comics Day

This week's batch.

• Mega Man #6 - I am loving this.
• Irredeemable #30 - Starting to get tired of it.
• FF #10
• Suicide Squad #2 - A tiny step up from #1. I might stick out the first arc.
• Batgirl #2 - Not great, but much better than #1.
• Batman and Robin #2 - Eh, I can take or leave this one.
• Green Lantern #2 - Still not quite feeling it, despite the nice premise.
• The Shade #1 - I don't know what world this is on. It doesn't fit.
• Batwoman #2 - Still solid.
• Legion Lost #2 - This might not stay on my pull list, but I'll give it a whole arc.
• Resurrection Man #2 - Still fun.
• Demon Knights #2 - Still one of my top five books of the reboot.

Also : the DC Adventures Heroes and Villains Book, Volume 1! Eee!

New Comics Day

This week's bunch.

• Warlord of Mars : Dejah Thoris #7
• Invincible #83
• Knights of the Dinner Table #178
• FF #9
• Green Arrow #2
• Red Lanterns #2
• Detective Comics #2
• OMAC #2
• Animal Man #2
• Stormwatch #2
• Justice League International #2
• Action Comics #2

With the exception of those last three team books, all the DC stuff this week is on the 'bubble', so to speak. Acceptable enough for me to try it out for an issue or two more, but not thrilling. Animal Man's a bit better, and so is OMAC, but still not compelling. Stormwatch is definitely up a few points this time, though - the art's a lot more consistent, and we're starting to see some of those big Morrisonian concepts that it needs. JLI's still B-plus. Action knocks it out of the park again.

This week's haul was a little bigger, thanks to some TPBs. Still..

• Warlord of Mars #10
• Incorruptible #22
• Annihilators : Earthfall #1
• Herc #8
• Dungeons and Dragons #11
• Savage Hawkman #1 - This is on the weak side of mediocre. Might be my first drop of titles I actually reserved.
• Teen Titans #1 - I'm giving it two issues. It's meh.
• Voodoo #1 - Feels less exploitative than Red Hood or Catwoman, and the main character is a stripper.
• I, Vampire #1 - This is interesting, but not an exciting start. Sort of feels a little muddled.
• Fury of Firestorm #1 - A bit better than I expected. I'll definitely pick up #2.
• Green Lantern : New Guardians #1 - A little clunky, but an interesting set-up.
• Aquaman #1 - Better than expected.
• Flash #1 - I like it.
• Superman #1 - I like this, too.
• Justice League Dark #1 - It's a little slow, but lots of potential.
• Tarot #70 - Yes, I read this, and still Red Hood and the Outlaws managed to offend me.

That's all.

New DCU, Week 4. If not for pulling a few of the number one's in as 'try-outs', I'd have had FOUR titles on my pull-list this week. That never happens.

• Darkwing Duck #16
• Fables #109
• Red Hood and the Outlaws #1 - Boo.
• Catwoman #1 - Yawn.
• Nightwing #1 - Eh.
• Green Lantern Corps #1 - 'Bout the same as ever.
• Blue Beetle #1 - Sigh. Oh, look, it's his new Ted-free origin.
• Batman #1 - Actually not bad, except some of the horrible villain redesigns.
• Wonder Woman #1 - Not bad.
• Legion of Super-Heroes #1 - Solid.

Nothing this week that makes the reboot look good.

New DCU, Week Three.

• Warlord of Mars #9
• Gladstone's School for World Conquerors #5
• Herc #7
• Suicide Squad #1
• Batman and Robin #1
• Red Lanterns #1
• Batwoman #1 - Actually decent. Might add it.
• OMAC #1 - picked this up late after hearing good things.
• Green Lantern #1 - Not bad.
• Legion Lost #1 - Well, it's pretty.
• Demon Knights #1 - This and Action are my two favorites of the relaunch so far.
• Resurrection Man #1 - With this at #3, followed by JLI.

That's all.

New Comics Day

Week 2 of the new DCU. I had three reserved titles of the thirteen released. I picked up 4 additional #1's to peek at them on a non-ongoing basis.

• Irredeemable #29
• Mega Mann #5
• Warlord of Mars : Dejah Thoris #6
• Atomic Robo : Ghost of Station X #1
• Justice Society of America #54
• Green Arrow #1 - It's the least dull Green Arrow's ever been for me, which isn't saying much.
• Detective Comics #1 - Well, it certainly has an ending.
• Animal Man #1 - Quirky, interesting. Art's not to my taste, but maaaaybe..
• Batgirl #1 - Eh.
• Action Comics #1 - This is actually good.
• Stormwatch #1 - Lots of potential, but doesn't really zip. The artist is not great.
• Justice League International #1 - I like it. But It does suggest the old JLI is out of continuity totally.

New Comics Day

Well, the new DCU launched yesterday.

• Invincible #82
• War Goddess #1
• Butcher Baker #6
• Herc #6.1 - This has been cancelled now - apparently, it's Marvel's second lowest seller. A shame.
• Dungeons and Dragons #7-#10 - Recently read the first TPB of the new series and loved it.
• Teen Titans #100
• Flashpoint #5 - Meh.
• Justice League #1 - And double-meh. Not bad, not great.

Oh well.
