Damn, this ROM Annual is legit. Even for $7.99... It's the whole origin story.

We had a press screening for it with LEGO Batman right after. People were not impressed at all between movies. Really liked Batman later.
Inhuman's vs X-Men was probably my favorite thing I've read today. it gave us these panels (spoilers for #4)

The Spot flipping Jessica off was a great moment, I hope Bendis keeps him around after this arc ends, just to talk shit towards Jessica and immediately regret it.

It's hard to describe without revealing key plot points, but you know how Batman is compassionate and empathetic, which is what drives him to not kill? Yeah, he doesn't give a shit. About anyone, basically.

That puts stuff like Batman protecting Joker from getting assassinated in a new light.

Red Hood and the Outlaws
Maybe the first issue of this book that I didn't instantly love. I didn't dislike it, it just felt kind of pointless and almost like material that should be in an annual. It gives us an insight to Jason's thinking toward Bizarro, but it loses weight when we know nothings going to actually happen.
Action Comics
I did not care for this issue at all. Lois in a random under cover situation out of nowhere, Lana and Steel showing up and nothing really of Lex. Overall just didn't really care for this issue.
JLA Rebirth
I really liked the interactions we got in this and liked the roll call of going one by one to recruit everyone. Still have issues with Lobo on the team, especially when they specifically call out Frost for being a killer and being changed, but I can get over it for now to see what is actually planned with him. I have a feeling he's only there for a short time.
The Flash
After the let down of the Godspeed arc I have really been liking this Rogues arc. Barry actually seems to be acting more like Barry, the story is actually good and has a nice pacing. I'm glad Williamson has been able to put the book back on track.

I feel that way about Batwoman. What even is the Detective Comics team going forward? No Spoiler, Tim or Batwoman.
I'm not too interested in Azriel or Harper. I'm all for Batwing though.
According To Brevoort the Spider-Man thing was done to fill up a spot until they revealed Cable.

Batwoman is still going to be on it IIRC and I would bet Tim is returning this year going by how Superman Reborn is going to involve Oz and his prison with someone breaking out.

Oh, haven't read this weeks issue yet, but the last issue really seemed like the start of a goodbye. Good to hear if she does though.
Didn't he quit in the first issue.

Reading through the Squirrel Girl again because I have the trades now. The
#1 is such a great issue. Brain Drain is amazing. Maureen is amazing. And there's always great touches in the background.
The bar they meet Maureen at is called Bar on Zemo...
And this is just hilarious.

I liked Lobo the most cus of him pestering people actually.
It really annoyed me just as much as him when Bats screamed in his face. Bats could have been a stain on the wall a second after that but he still has no problem power-tripping. He and his speech at the end are the worst parts of the book.

Dropping All-Star Batman, which was my last bat-book.
Just not good enough.

It's the perfect fit lol
All-Star not good?that's a shame I read the first issue but it didn't really do anything for me so I put it in trade wait zone. I'm quite behind on all the rebirth books I was reading.

Last issue of Batman was phenomenal.
Though I was only down on Batman with I am Suicide. I thought I am Gotham was great.
Not the inhumans, the NuHumans realize both sides are shit.

The Victim Syndicate killed my interest in Tec, yeah. It's fine as pure fan service but I think it's an obnoxiously shallow book.
I thought the ending of the last arc was pretty lousy. There is some straight-up nonsense in that issue. The last issue with Jock and Mr. Freeze was really good. At $5 an issue, though, if I didn't like two out of the last three issues, it's a drop
Yeah I will try Batwoman as well as Super Sons

This has happened two times to Kamala straight after each-other lol curse of the Marvel name.
The price did put me off it as a monthly purchase, I do love Snyder though so I'll give it a read in May. Forgot Batwoman was coming out soon I'll have to give that a read as well.

The most recent Uncanny tho...
I don't think Batwoman is leaving, just setting up her solo. Spoiler is probably going to be a running storyline and Tim is a part of something bigger as well. Plus team books having a rotating ensemble isn't a bad thing. I doubt Clayface will be on there for too long.

I'd be angry most if Clayface leaves. Sure he hasn't been used a ton, but every time he is used, it's great.

That's a shame. I know that Victim Syndicate didn't start was will as the first arc but I ended just as strong. I have a question thou. I'm struggling to see how is this book just shallow fan service? It's one of the best books DC is putting out.
At least get rid of the bottom 5
