Superman / Wonder Woman #1 - Tony Daniel rocks it on art. This is also the best use of Clark Kent's current professional situation I have seen so far.
Superboy #24 - This is chock full of good, old-fashioned monologueing (screw you spell-check, that's a word) from the new Psycho Pirate. The action beats could have been stronger and it would have been nice to see Superboy be more proactive.
Batman #24 - CHRIS NOLAN EAT YOUR HEART OUT! This is Batman for the 21st century. I would not have changed a thing.
Nightwing #24 - Writer Kyle Higgins does a really solid job tying up this story arc. The art makes it hard to tell who is who towards the end.
Batgirl #24 - The body forms look strange. Some more close-ups and reaction shots would really elevate the emotional impact of this story.
Worlds' Finest #16 - I hate to sound like a broken record but the art is inconsistent and the character dynamics are really strong.
Katana #8 - Cool Urumi swordfight. Are those things actually real? This title has been rough to read lately but this issue is a step in the right direction.
Green Lantern Corps - I love the way John Stewart employed military strategy and how effective the Corps can be even when their home is being annihilated.
Constantine #7 - There is a lot going on in this issue. Szymon Kudranski's art is perfect for this world.
Suicide Squad #24 - The hectic pace makes this a great Forever Evil tie-in. The chickens are coming home to roost for Amanda Waller. The plot twist at the end was perfectly executed.
Forever Evil: Arkham War #1 (of 6) - All of Batman's Villains are at each other's throats. What more could you ask for? The detail in the art, especially the facial expressions, really let these bad guys revel in their evil.
Coffin Hill #1 - Nice Crime / Supernatural blend. The main character is very distant and mysterious. I can't decide if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
The Shaolin Cowboy #1 - The recap is two pages long, each with three columns of 4 point text. You don't have to read it but you should. This is tons of fun. Dave Stewart's colors really pop.
Rocket Girl #1 - Time travel, jet packs, and 1980s New York City. This is how you kick off a series. It is very quirky and lots of fun.
Three #1 - This feels too much like a history textbook. The first two thirds are flat and boring. The tension does pick up toward the end but by that time I did not really care anymore.
