Another funny installment. I thought Superboy and Demon Knights were both good enough to follow to issue 2. Ive never liked Etrigan or Superboy but both these stories have me interested. RB Silva's art was awesome, its stylized and I get the "ken with no hair comment" but he drew the hell out of that issue. I cannot wait to here the Catwoman and Red Hood & the Outlawz reviews. You know a new Watchmen comic is coming. Its a no brainer with all the copies the tpb sold. Jim Lee is probably still tweaking the new uniforms.
The more I think about Red Hood and the Outlaws the more it makes me mad. It might remove Ultimates 3 as Worst Comic Ever.
Suicide Squad was like one of those stupid torture porn horror movies where you are supposed to "enjoy" the gore while waiting for the big stupid twist at the end. In other words it sucked. Instead of people complaining about what Waller looked liked they should have been pissed they (hopefully) bought such a crappy comic.
Green Lantern/Red Lanterns was fine for the continuing story since DC brought Hal & the Corps back a few years ago but was in no way a relaunch. Neither was Batman & Robin, the characters were just a bit younger than before and all of the fun (Dick Grayson) was removed from the character inter-action. No real interest in Batwoman but it seemed the same as before just without the benefit of Greg Rucka's dialogue. Legion Lost will probably be good for Legion fans but felt like nothing new or that any of it was being set-up for readers who don't already know the DCU.
I didn't read any of the other DC's this week.
