Stray Bullets Vol 2: Somewhere Out West (Collects issues #8-14) - Great book.  This one has a lot of character building up to pretty amazing ending.  Didn’t see some of that coming. Can’t wait to read the next volume.

It’s too inconsistent.  I can’t figure out if the stories are from different times or different worlds because some of the characters are in different books with completely different background stories but still fighting the same villains.  For example in one book Spoiler and Orphan are working together and helping Tim Drake fight the Magistrate’s forces.  In another book they are both in prison and Spoiler is a traitor.  Doesn’t make sense.

Taken individually, a lot of the stories are fun and interesting; some are terrible.  Maybe it starts to tie together as we move forward.

I think my biggest question about FS is "when". Is this five years from now? A decade? Some of the characters seem to age rapidly and others haven't at all. All of the current plots are racing towards that event and I thought it was further in the future. For example, Batman's plot with the Magistrate and Superman heading to Warworld.

I'm thinking of saving FS titles in my lists page, and only read them if something from the current titles tie into them later.

Hellfire Gala Guide #1 - Ah ha.  This is a mock fashion magazine showing off the costumes the heroes are wearing to the gala.  Interesting art.  As suspected it’s just a preview for the upcoming event.

Cable #10 - Kind of a filler issue dragging out the return of old man cable.  There’s a fight in this but it has nothing to do with the real story so no movement on that.

Beta Ray Bill #2 - And off on our quest we go.  I like the two characters that are going with him.  Makes a cool team. 

Black Widow #6 - New arc off to a good start.  Mystery and intrigue abound.
