The Atom #25

Worst ending ever. Last issue of series.

Panda is dead. Ray Palmer has never heard of Ryan Choi - never corresponded with him. I really don't even care to look through it again to check the details.

Justice Society of America #15

Huge beatdown of Gog continues. Sandman decides the fight needs to be taken back to jungle it started in. Gog gets swallowed by rock head statue - turns out the statue was a whole body? Gog now a giant super powered individual who 'comes in peace'.

Blue Beetle #26

First issue with Nitz writing - all spanish - one and done. Jaime on family reunion south of the border with Traci 13. He gets pulled away when parasite attacks the Posse. Gives Grandma a flight at the end.

DC Universe #0

She spooks, runs gets absorbed, Ryan gets absorbed but something happens with his belt. Guy shows up claiming to be the real Atom, will stop the monster.

All-Star Superman #10

Grant Morrison is a weird guy. Issue deals with Superman trying to get things done before dying of solar radiation poisoning. Creates pocket universe to see if earth could survive without him, moves the Kandorians to Mars to let them live at their own size with yellow sun super powers. Good stuff, must re-read when arc is done.

Blue Beetle #25

This is what a comic should be. Great writing, great characterization, good art. Refreshing lack of crossovers or continuity to keep track of. This is easily one of the best books out there. This caps off the Reach arc with Jaime and the Beetle starting to communicate on a new level. The sheer level of smackdown to the alien plan is great. Remembering this issue won't be a problem. KHAJI DA!

Countdown to Adventure #8

Last issue, going through the motions of finishing up the story arc. Enjoyable, kinda. Starfire's juked up solar powers cure San Diego of death worshiper virus. I would have liked it better if the Forerunner story wasn't included to keep the price down or number of issues down. I love Animal Man, but I was tired of the jealousy his wife had towards Starfire. Buddy's kid loves snuggling with Starfire. Meh. Must keep in mind got about half the issues at a buck apiece from Joe's fire sale.

Justice League of America #19

Does anything happen in this book? JLA trying to track down J'onn J'ohns who infiltrated group heading to Prison Planet but only encounter cosmic baddie on planet. Supervillains apparently MIA.

Brave and the Bold #11

Ultraman brought to regular DC universe by Vowelled knight of Order Miyezpitelik for teamup to stop Megistus from taking over Sun as base/destroying universe. Ultraman somehow bigger dick than Superman.
