New comics

Scarlett 5

This didn’t end as strongly as it started, and I’m not sure if I’ll pick up any more of the Energon Universe’s GI Joe stories, but I don’t regret getting this.

Zatanna: Bring Down the House 4

I love how Mariko Tamaki writes Constantine and Zatanna together, and I love how Javier Rodriguez draws them together.  If only I liked the plot more, it’s pretty weak.  

Batman: Long Halloween: Last Halloween 1

I can’t decide if I like this or not.  I’m erring on the side of buying the rest of it, but I’m definitely not sure about this call.

Get Fury 6

Sigh.  Not one of Garth Ennis’ finest.  Is this his first complete fail w/ a Punisher story?

Catwoman 69

I picked this off of the shelf entirely due to Fabiana Mascolo’s stunning new Catwoman costume.  I love it.  I might even get it again next month.  

Nightwing 118

What a wonderful, delightful run by Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo.  I hope these two team up again in the future.  (And I really hope the next creature team keep Bitewing and Barbara around.  Not that I’m going to stick around to find out.)

Absolute Batman 1

Apparently not an Elseworlds, just a parallel universe or something.  Whatever it is, Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta have created a gripping new take that I’m totally here for.

Wonder Woman 12-14

There’s so much that I don’t buy: Diana’s heart-to-heart with Damian.  Her constant smooching with Steve Trevor in the middle of combat situations.  Steve Trevor’s death.  But all of it still works, it has to work.  Because this story isn’t possible  if Wonder Woman isn’t the main character.  It’s hard to explain.
