Never in the OP, thought I'd mention it for this week

Adventure Comics #518 - Good Legion book. Really love Kal's involvement with them as Superboy and the fact that he knows about his future foes, even though he won't remember knowing about them. Great internal monologue.

Spoiler

The ghost was Phantom Girl, right? I really hope I'm not being dense.

Batgirl #14 - Decided to pick this up on cover alone. The interiors were different, but great. The writing makes for a
Green Lantern #57 - I'm not sure what anyone's beef is with Johns. He's one of the best things going at DC these days. Pretty sure they didn't make him CCO for nothin'.

Amazing Spider-Man #642 - Talk about a misleading cover. Waid's words were great as always, but the interiors were -- they weren't offensively bad, they just weren't any good at all. Especially when you glance back at the cover.
Thor #614 - This arc was a slow-burn. Ended well and left things open for future plots. Excited for Fraction's run!

People have a beef with Johns? The guy writes fun comics, the only thing I'll hold against him would be Infinite Crisis and it wasn't that terrible really. Even if Brightest Day isn't the most exciting book on the shelves I'm still enjoying it.

On that note I hope they start reprinting the trades for his previous run on The Flash. Found the first two, loved it (Scott Kolins is the bomb seriously) and after that, can't find the "Rogues" one at a decent price. Makes me even more excited for what's coming on his curent Flash run.

you should check out the azzarello/bermejo 2 page comic strip, it's hilarious

Actually, it's reading this strip on the net that had me buy the comic :lol Loooved it.

The only negative I have with Johns is he indulges in silver age masturbation. It's one of the big things with what's wrong with this inbred industry. I still like him though, I just wish he would embrace new things more instead of being so nostalgic.

His comments about only working on DC properties make me sick.

Dude needs to create something of his own.

Where can I find these comments?

Also I don't blame anyone for not doing creator owned work, as much as I'd love to see more of it; comic fans just don't support these books.

I want more Monkey Man & O'Brien; but "fans" would rather have Art Adams drawing more X-Men and Hulk. :|

I don't have a link, but I could swear I've read that. IIRC, we had a discussion about it here not too long ago.

Oh man, Spiderman is just a clusterfuck.
They could have just blogged the consequences. They could just been honest and said: "Look, the editors thought about it and now Peter Parker is single/married/blond/vegeterian, we won't even try to explain how it happened, so just enjoy the new adventures of the amazing blond poligamist!"

American Vampire #6 - Not enough Pearl or Skinner in this issue, but yeah. This book is gonna be here for a while. Love the cover and art. One of the better creator-owned books going. Can't wait for the next issue; Snyder's gonna be just fine.

New Avengers #4 - Bendis and Immonem are a damn great team. Really love the dynamic between Strange, Voodoo and Daimon. Loved all the attention Strange got this issue.
Thor - The Mighty Avenger#4 - Such a wonderful, light, heartwarming issue. Definitely the best of the Thor books out now.
X-Men #3 - Enjoying this for the most part and interested in seeing where it goes. And while I usually don't get caught up on continuity nuances, but don't both Uncanny and X-Men take place just after Second Coming? It's weird that they'd be dealing with the Five Lights and the vampire threat at the same time. Even if they were, you think they'd acknowledge it.

Also, was able to get my hands on a friends copy of the Old Man Logan trade. It's pretty goddamn great. I can imagine that it would be hard to read in issue form because of it's slow, deliberate pacing. But I was able to plow through it in a single sitting. The twist was great. Never saw it coming, but if I sat enough and thought about it, I could've come to that conclusion; those are the best kinds of twists. Probably one of the better Wolverine books I've read, especially since it was more about Logan than Wolvie.
