Oh, this DC Ultra thing is gonna be the death of me.
I'm holding off on adding anymore issues this week, but if I get too far along and you know that I forgot to read something, hit me up and let me know?
Was at pain management this morning and as I get there so early, I had plenty of time to knock out some comics!!

Nightwing - Great. I love a certain aspect of this... if you know what I mean
Let's just say... no, nevermind. I already semi-spoiled something today, I'm saying no more.
Screw it!! Not a real spoiler but, still... don't look
Detective Comics - Cover? Looked spectacular, I was ready to go! The coloring of the issue? Was perfect. No neon colors, no bright ass panels. Interior art? pretty solid. I will add fitting for Gotham. The writing? Oh how Ram V had me. I was enjoying the hell out of this bizarre, but almost gothic feel. Yes, this issue I had waited for was going swimmingly... until the last F'n page. Last panel maybe, now that I think about. I saw that and just instantly felt my heart drop. So yeah, all that waiting... aaaaand, I'm out!
(if it gets good, let me know and I will try to come back)
Lobster Johnson - Okay, so yes, I read the v6 trade before I read the v5 trade of Lobster. But that is how they have it listed in the reading order. I can see why. Even though the Omni ends with Get the Lobster... and that story carries on in the next trade volume, it was (at first) nice to get a break with some cool one-shots. That said, sadly, I am getting tired of this character. There has been little to no character development here so far. It is just like reading the first few trades of Hellboy. Character arrives, monster arrives, fighty-fight-fight, monster loses, rinse and repeat.
I will say that the Get the Lobster's ending does show promise for adding depth to The Lobster, hahaha, so I am holding out hope the next trade will keep me going. If not I am just going to skip the rest and get back to the Hellboy/BPRD stuff and leave Lobster Johnson, Witchfinder and perhaps even Abe Sapien alone until I get done with the main stuff
