[...] MONDOcomics – “It feels like [Geoff Johns] finally convinced DC to bring back Barry Allen, and then realized there was no need to. As a result, every issue is buried in exposition and unnecessary retcons.” [...]

Alright, deal.

Fine. But I’m trade waiting it, dammit. You can only push a man so far.

Bah, we expect it of you Miles. Your DC-bashing no more shocking than an issue of New Avengers when they fight The Hood. Or a cover for Justice League where they’re lying in a pile, unconscious. Now go check out Hercules!

I’m kinda surprised that no one has yelled at me about my crack at Wonder Woman.

I just want the record to show that I was kidding. She’s fine. I was just trying to cause a ruckus.

Owen, I’m sold on Herc. Your salemanship won me over and I picked up up the series two issues ago. No regrets here. Thanks!

that said, Isaac gave me a hard time for JUST saying that so…

Batman and Robin #3 deserves the kudos it got. The story between parts 1,2, and 3 felt a little disjointed (likely more to do with the month delay than any problem with the story) but the individual characters felt great

“From now on, it’s Robin and Batman”
classic.
and Quietly’s art has some excellent flourishes, like the continually clever use of sound effects in smoke/blood/what-have-you.

Flash Rebirth 4, I agree that the idea to ressurect Barry Allen was unecessary, but I think the execution has been interesting, and the story elements they’ve introduced work. At least from this reader’s perspective, of course the speed force didn’t exist before the Flash was running around. This comic has me willing to accept Barry alive, so it is doing its job.

JSA: yeah, if you’ve got Tapeworm on your team, you’ve got more problems than if you can beat up the JSA. Even so, good effort on Stargirl’s part, I thought she was gonna be down for the count…

Nova was quite nearly perfect. A fight with an unbeatable enemy, beaten in a way I can believe, slick intergalactic diplomacy, and some handy star wars thrown in there. A lot of good stuff went into this issue.

Sonic Universe 7: Mix two characters into one, then you’ve got what their kids look like. That’s the future Sonic Universe depicts. Besides the evil shadowy organization and alternate history assasins that is. Fun stuff, I agree, next issue promises a great pay-off.

Timestorm… yeah timestorm wasn’t very good.

Blackest Night: Titans almost convinces me that I should like (or at least be impressed by) either incarnation of ‘Dove’.
That’s an unprecedented acomplishment.
You’re right though, the tie-ins have been pretty formulaic so far. maybe that’s just how it is with issue 1’s for this series.

Isaac, no more excuses. March down to a comic book store, any comic book store, and buy Hercules. This issue and the last one (the one with Hercuthor on the cover). I will not hear otherwise from you.

FLOATING BRAINS!

Yeah. That’s a pretty wrong thing. I’ve updated it because, well, she’s certainly not a Marvel character — she’s too lame to be Marvel.

Pirate deadpool looks pretty fantastic and the cover to Runaways is brilliant.
I should be commenting so I can say more stuff about the reviews but….

I couldn’t help but notice the Wonder Woman comic is listed as belonging to Marvel, and that’s just got me way too distracted.

I’m sure the New Avengers book *must* be better by now. That’s practice for you, but come on, “mixing it up with the Hoods men”? Thats all they ever do, like the Hoods guys are some low rent Legion of Doom and we’re watching a Challenge of the Super Friends knock off.
I know I know about Hercules- I want to get it! Especially this one- did you see those brains on the cover?!?

And James- for shame.
