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

Nightwing - Hmmm, didn't really hit for me. I mean, its fine, I guess, I was excited for the reunion, but I hope it gets better than this. And I can't stand that stupid ass cloak Raven has been wearing. Go back to the plain cloak damn it. It works better to convey creepy, mystic, mysterious and that you are an adult not a 7 year old!!!  Grin

Daredevil - The art just ruined this for me. Actually had an artist draw speed lines from the wrong direction!  Roll Eyes

Joe Fixit - A little less fun for me than others. A little bit of things here that I think would have, should have been shown differently and the art is so damn non-descript (becoming a norm for Marvel  Angry) but I still enjoyed it for the most part and I do look forward to the next issue

X-Men - Art was better here, not great, but certainly better but man I am looking forward to the next three issues with a proper artist and subject matter than I can 'get into'  Wink

Legion of X - Very much a Legion comic as I always take a few minutes to think about what I read. As usual, not a title you can be tired and read, so I may.... perhaps... reread this one before I delete it. Maybe.

Star Trek - Honestly, in hindsight, this was better constructed than the first issue but one I will probably reread (or at least glance over) before going to the next issue just to make sure I got it all. As I started reading this issue while waiting for the Islanders game to start, I think I rushed through this issue after the first few pages as they started the game before I finished so... yeah... I may have rushed it a bit.

X-Men 18 - Hmmm. Not sure what I think of the current paradox. But the glimpse of what comes next has me jazzed!

Wolverine 29 - not a great issue this week.  More introspective Wolverines stuff that really we’ve seen too many times.  It really just sets you up for the upcoming confrontation with Beast but not a must read for even that.

Dark Web: Mary Jane & Black Cat 2 - Just ok.  I think this will get much better once Dark Web is over.

Daredevil 7 - Perry’s right that this arts not great this issue.  I’m ready for this Hand stuff to be over and we get back to normal.

Once Upon a Time at the End of the World 3 - Awesome! Another great Jason Aaron book is building out.  Really enjoying this one.

Batman - One Bad Day: Ra’s Al Ghul 1  - An ok story. Stayed true to the character of Ra’s Al Ghul but the ending was disappointing.  What led up to it was good as was the art. But Ivan Reissue rarely disappoints.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest 13  - Nice new arc. I like the Metamorpho guest appearance as well!  The mystery is afoot!

Black Adam 9 - interesting additions to Black Adam’s origin. Slower story but I liked it.

I haven’t quite got to those two yet but I already know I agree with you!  I’m looking forward to the Titans series as well.

luckily I just heard on one of my podcasts that I need to read Star Trek #5 BEFORE reading Star Trek: Defiant issue one. I need to add that to this week's it seems. Luckily issue 6 already hit so issue 5 will only be $2 (instead of the crazy standard $5)

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

One Bad Day: Ra's - I really like this issue, including the pencils/inking/coloring homage to a Neal Adams batman. THe art isn't a clone, but there is, I think, a certain style to this issue that screams in honor of Adams and the way he drew Ra's. Not only that, it was a good read. Certainly on the correct said of the enjoyment column for this series (with Riddler/Penguin/Clayface and most of Mr. Freeze... and not on the side that contains Catwoman/Two-face/Bane)  Grin

DCeased - Yes this is good (and I'm still love seeing
the Spectre with Alfred's mustache  Cheesy
but yeah, like Jeff, I will be glad when this last of the series wraps.

Superman - Once again this title wins me over. I love the art (and I will not get into more than that), but more importantly I am having fun with this title, although still not a fan of
all the \š/ flying around.

Would prefer less of those

Star Trek - Wow, I should've just starting this series at issue #3. Okay, not really, but I went from being sad that I paid for all four Trek issues up front to being very glad I did, because I would have stopped reading this series at that second issue. Was not having a great time. So glad I did pay ahead because I am really liking this now.  Cheesy
Oh and that cover to the third issue was nice

Swampy - You know what you are getting with this character but with this particular setting, it did add a bit of finality to it all. Plus I enjoyed the guest stars. Yeah I liked it, didn't love it, but like it. All in all the art was great for this and ended up having a pleasant end.

DCeased: War of the Undead Gods 7 - all right! We are close to being done!

Nightwing 102 - An ok issue.  Characterization fell a little flat for me but it’s early in a new direction so I’ll give it some time.

Superman 2 - This probably hits for some but I’m just not getting into it.  Also not a fan of this art.

The Flash 795 - ouch, this art almost killed the story for me.  Looks like they used different artists for different pages. The final artwork on the last pages was good though.  There’s too many speedsters these days but I don’t see the number getting smaller.  Looking forward to seeing how this turns out in the next issue!
