Spider-man 2099 25 - ya know, I complained a bunch about where this book seemed to spiral into a bunch of...I want to use the word nonsense, but I don't. Not junk either, but it went to a place of...non-interesting. However, I feel it cleaned up rather well in the final 2 issues, and gave me an ending I enjoyed, in a manner that was reminiscient of the PAD I have enjoyed for oh so very long.
Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider 4-5 - again, more PAD actually! I just like Kaine. I also like the fun absurdity of having 2 other non-Peter Parker Peter Parkers running around. (also, there is another Peter Parker yet in Doc Ock running around-good lord!!!). That said, it's cool, so very cool, to see Bagley at his absolute best, out of the spotlight of the Ultimate Spidey 3x in a month schedule, just doing his good Spidey chops.And the story is coming around for me.
Infamous Iron Man 10 - okay, this issue meandered a little bit into not going anywhere, padding the middle part of the second trade of this book. Let's be honest, that's what this is. Get your butt in gear and write a book, Bendis!
Thanos 9 - continuing on as well, as it has been, with Thanos going to the Witches/Sisters, whoever they are. Can't remember right now in my sleep addled brain.
DC Comics
I can't remember or look up most issue numbers right now, but I think I'm only getting 7-9 books, and most are twice monthly, so it's just impressions from here on out!!
Starting with Priest's stuff:
Deathstroke-oh man, layers on layers of stuff, this shtick with Defiance, truth behind Ikon's suit, Ikon himself and Isherwood, Terra, I have GOT to reread all of this!!
Justice League- this arc with breaking the Bat, the stuff with the Fan, and then the Barry Allen in space just shows me how much better Priest is above SO MANY writers in the details and knowledge he can drop in how people actually respond around each other, as well as mind bombs of explanations!
Action Comics & Hal Jordan & GLC:
I link these two because of seeing the current regime beginning of Zod on his planet New Krypton taking on Lanterns, and how it looks in the future in Action. Great planning! An actual good use of Zod, having him be something other than a 'villain of the arc' to punch, and having him do something independent of the hero stuff. Very cool. Also, shouldn't Superman remember Booster a bit from the prior universe? Actually, check that, I think when the Supermans merged, that the old version of Supes had a hard time remembering past reality as he was settled firmaly into the firmament of this reality.
Superman- Cancer kids in space is a winner. The times with Gleason and Tomasi taking the book to just great one stand alones that deliver are very special to me.
Wonder Woman- I hate more and more each issue that Jason is alive, and not retconned away. I am more and more on the side of 'this is something terribly damaging for the mythos of the Wonder Woman franchise.' Him being there adds some odd form of ...dependency? on the character of Diana to take care of him. Like, instead of her being her, she's now shackled as 'Princess Diana...and Jason.' Don't dilute the property!
Mister Miracle- rather knew that was how issue 6 was going to deliver. I just truly hope that this will all deliver once its said and finished. I know I love King's work on Vision, and there was that Rebirth series with Kyle Rayner I can't remember what it's called...? But many hate his Batman.
Is that all I"m getting from DC? Besides Metal as well? (I talked about that in the thread).
