Ok. All comics are read. Reviews, reviews, reviews...

DC COMICS

100 BULLETS #60 (MR) - Lots of intrigue in this book. There are conspiracies within conspiracies. Another fine effort.
BIRDS OF PREY #81 - New artist, Joe Bennett, debuts. Not as enjoyable as Ed Benes' art but passable. New storyline as the Huntress has left the Birds of Prey and a surprising twist to her whereabouts.
JLA #113 - One more issue to go on Busiek's run. Thank God. He's trying to be Grant Morrison and it's just not working.
JLA CLASSIFIED #6 - For those in the know, there are major changes going on in the DCU and most of them have occurred with the characters appearing in this story arc. Now this arc good, it's typical Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire fare but it's disconcerting to read about these characters when so much has changed with them.
OMAC PROJECT #1 (OF 6) - Remember those major changes I discussed earlier. See this issue for detatils!
ROBIN #137 - Skipped it even though there was a guest artist on board.
SUPERMAN #215 - So the Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee run comes to an end. The artwork in this issue is rushed, tons of inkers on the book and it falls apart. The story is lacking. Very dissapointing stroy from these two great creators.
TEEN TITANS #23 - It Dr. Light Vs. Everybody who was ever a Teen Titan.

MARVEL

AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #519 - Spidey moves into Avengers Headquarters. I enjoyed the beginning of this issue but with the last 10 or 11 pages the issue fell apart. The last pages had no Spidey in it. It focused entirely on the reintroduciton of a villain group into the Marvel Universe. It could have , and probably should have, been done in 2 or 3 pages. The artwork was awful too. Probably due to the fact that Mike Deodato has another book coming out shortly and he needed to cut some corners on this issue.
FANTASTIC FOUR #525 - Skipping this issue and #526.
SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #27 - Skipped it.
SPIDER-MAN BREAKOUT #1 (OF 5) - Two villains groups fight it out with Spider-Man stuck in the middle.
ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN #76 - Meet Harry Osborne, the new Hobgoblin.
UNCANNY X-MEN #458 - Finally, it feels like Chris Claremont is hitting on all X-Men cylanders. Alan Davis art is great too.
WOLVERINE #27 - Shoot. So much going on in this arc. Suffice it to say at the end of this issue, Wolverine promises to get revenge on 52,000 members of Hydra and the Hand!
X-MEN #169 - Reads like an X-File episode.
YOUNG AVENGERS #3 - Allan Heinberg really get comics. A cool new title.
