Dang, Jeff hasn't hit a good run with his last eight issues it seems, only hitting on... maybe.... three out of the eight. Hope it turns around for ya, buddy.

For me, it's sadly about the same. I only read five issues over the last couple days, but after reading two in particular, I think I am in a mood that dictates me staying away from the older stuff for a few, at least away from the older New Teen Titans  Undecided I know I enjoyed that back when, enjoyed it a hell of a lot in-fact, but this is not hitting for me right now and it's scaring me. I am going to stop for now and start all over at another time. This book should NOT hit me the way it has been. It has to be a mood or timing thing for me. Walking away before I ruin the memory or my chance to try again when I AM ready for it

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

New Teen Titans - This is good stuff, I know it is, but for some reason after reading the first two issues it is not hitting for me right now. All I can think of is that I am currently into the John's run and it is having an effect. I am by no means saying the John's stuff is better, but it is a huge difference between the two. I don't have an answer as to why, I truly don't know, but... Hell... I don't know

Superman - Decent start. I liked the Lex inclusion, the way it was done and I liked the last page... as I have no idea who that was... other than
someone out to get Lex
, but they looked cool. Art was, fine. I enjoyed the posing more than the look, but it was fine. Serviceable for sure

Parker Girls - Damn these issue are just far too short and I sure as hell wish the price dropped after a month, but they don't so... yeah... I am paying $4 per issue, per very short issue, but damn the art is so damn sweet. The story is always good as well. That said, if this puppy (or any of Moore's single issues) ever go to $5 an issue I am done with him.
(although I may still buy the trades after the fact)
 Grin
I'M WEAK!!!!

Star Trek #1 - I dig this cast, a small collection of other Trek series peeps being brought together and I love the new ship... including the fact that it only holds 150 (I have no idea why I like that certain aspect, but I do  Cheesy). the art is also pretty good. I blame Jeff for this expense. Started talking about the writing duo of Lanzing and Kelly on one comic and I started looking into their other offerings. I hadn't read a Trek Comic in awhile so I figured why not? If I keep reading I will always be a month behind as the price drops after a month and I am not paying $5 for a comic (No F'n way). That said, I see where there are a few series of Trek that are free with Comixology Unlimited so I may sign back up... maybe

Legion of Bloom #1 - I forgot about this!! Mostly because all of the stories are forgettable. The saving grace was the last story, with art by Jimmy's favorite Riley Rossmo... which was still very forgettable, but a sweet Superman story called "We Just Have to Make it Till Spring"
I really think you should try that one Jimbo!!! Rossmo does a cool two panel thing with Supes that, sure, it's been done before, but still looked cool with Rossmo's art (that he inked himself... big difference... well, different anyway)

So...once upon a time I had a post up with my comics? Or I started it, didn't hit enter, then shut down my computer apparently....

Here we go again!!

MARVEL UNLIMITED

Iron Man #1 - still spinning out of the end's of Cantwell's run, I'm intrigued and still happy to be reading and following!

Amazing Spider-man 15 - Dark Web starting in ASM. Nice to see Ed McGuinness art, but it was 15 pages of a weak Venom fight, and some weak exposition. Not starting great to me.

I actually have 4 others to read yet...maybe not today

CD ULTRA

Nightwing 101 - I actually got a weird little spooky chill about the ending. Like an 'oh no, please don't' kind of thing.

Clayface One Bad Day - AWESOME read. A great book to show how tortured many of Batman's Rogues are!

Superman 1 - I totally dug it. A great reversed angle of a sacred cow in the S mythos, so I'm looking forward to it! Art was a solid B+ plus. Got no problem reading it, looks pretty good, but nothing I'd follow book to book or immediately fell in love with. The most recent one I did that for was Dan Mora. After 1 issue of 'Once and Future' I was like, 'gotta watch this guy!!'

Black Adam 8 - I dug it, and enjoyed watching this transition of worsening history in Adam's life.

Lazurus Planet Omega - well, this is all done at least. Some nice looking art, but ephemeral battles of everyone blasting something that just laughs then moans in pain is never that greatly interesting in comics. Never really has been for me. So, the last 5 issues that were just built up adverts for upcoming comics is over. Cheesy

Stargirl Lost children 5 - I can't believe how fast this title has seemed to come out! Has it been out every 3 weeks instead of monthly?! I can't believe it's almost over! A great fun read. Been loving it!

World's Finest 12 - I really enjoyed this issue. Lots of fun.

Flash 793 - Again, Roger Cruz's art looks so..different. Almost neutered! Maybe the inker?

Geoff Johns Titans 1-8 - yep going back old school for this! Love the colors! Love the end of each issue just grabs you to read more!!  And because of this, because I didn't know I went back for:
-Titans/Young Justice #3 Graduation Day - to see how Donna died that is the main cloud hanging over everyone in this book. And what a junk book by Judd Winnick here. I think I remember George Berryman just RAILING into Winnick on the Realm at the time about how damned stupid it was that a rogue Superman Robot -built by Superman, mind you!- couldn't be stopped and she died stopping it. This was DUMB.
-Return of Donna Troy - the 4 part series about 2.5 years after her death, with writing/art from Phil Jimenez, glorious George Perez and Jose Garcia Lopez. I'm only into issue 2, but it really rectified her goofy origins into 1 story...but then New 52 fawked that all up too.

hoopla

That Texas Blood Volumes 1 & 2 : opened the app, saw I had 1 hour 22 min before these 2 returned....so I read them both on my Monday night! Good reads, I'm interested, and glad to be reading what Texas is REALLY LIKE.

I tried hard to keep up with this. I tried hard to like it.

I just...didn't. Nothing clicked for me as I read it.

I see Tim Drake, Robin, is getting ending also.

Maybe...this is a lesson about that kind of scattered, skritchy, terrible looking art that these 2 books have?

It's the main reason I would NOT read.

Nightwing 101 - Not a fan of the villain.  Seems like we could have done better. Basic setup story really.  We’ll see how the next couple of issues go.

The Flash 793 - One Minute War part 4 - a little too out there for my full enjoyment but still a decent enough read.

Titans United: Bloodpact 6 - Not bad. Not great. But fun reading the Titans again.

Superman 1 - Hard to judge from one issue but it didn’t get me that excited for the series.

Stargirl and the Lost Children 5 - It’s hard to keep up with so many new characters.  But some of them are a lot of fun! Setup for the final battle next issue. Will all of them survive?

Black Adam 8 - a little too much history in this issue but the start of something big in the present promises lots of action.

DCeased: War of the Undead Gods 6 - I was starting to get bored and then they amped it up to 11  with those last few pages.  I LOVE what they did here.

Lazarus Planet: Omega 1 - Loved all the magic people in this. Story overall was uninspiring though.  I’m ready for this to be over.

Tim is at least in the Batman book.  I lost interest in Cassandra when they gave her her voice back.  Her muteness is one of the things that made her interesting.  I hope Stephanie and Cassandra land in another book.
