Some of the new comics this week:
Batman/Superman 1
I’m so behind on the goings on of most of the DC Universe, and the concept of a Jokerized Batman doesn’t sound that interesting. But I love the potential of a good Superman/Batman team up, and David Marquez on art means I’ll give it a shot.
The story turns out to be surprisingly good. Joshua Williamson writes a good World’s Finest, writing Loeb-level inner monologues for the two heroes. And the art. Woof.

| There's no way they haven't come up with a shorter name for this guy. |

| The cape physics don't make sense, but the visual is still funny. |
Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man 11
Tom Taylor’s name is starting to show up more and more on my radar. I hear the work he’s doing on DCeased (ugh, that title…) is excellent, and this is the second strong issue of Spider-Man that I’ve read by him. This is a wonderful day in the life of MJ, and I’m enchanted by the humor, the heart, and the art. (By Juann Cabal.) I’m not sure if I’m in on a regular basis (I’ve checked out these single-issue stories, not really in the mood for multi-issue arcs), but my ears are perked up for more Taylor.

Runaways 24
Doombot continues to spout the best one-liners. Rainbow Rowell should put out a book of Doombot quotes.

Judge Dredd Versus Aliens 1-4
This delivers on everything that the title promises, and it’s great every time I read it.
