 We're taking Everyone Down With Us #1  4/5  Wasn't interested in this, then read a preview...A young girl discovers a side to her dad she didn't know. Is he a good guy or a bad one? Perspective?

 Absolute Martian Manhunter #1  4.5/5  Another book I was going to pass on,but FOMO and good reviews got me thinking otherwise. Another Absolute re-working of a classic hereo,and it's better by far than the old edition.

 Absolute Wonder Woman #6 5/5  The best of the Absolute line, although the one above is pushing it.    This issue keeps up the excellence.

Ultimate Spider-Man #14  4/5  One of the few Marvel titles I buy. Every issue is interesting to see the new take on well-known characters.

 Absolute Wonder Woman #5  5/5  This series has been great and keeps getting better.

 

 

Popkill #1 5/5   Took a chance on this, and darn glad I did! A cool take on the cola wars. Very Garth Ennis. If I didn't have the credits in front of me, I would have sworn this was by him.

 One World Under Doom #1  4.5/5  Talk about timely..LOL.  Interesting premise. Doom promises peace & prosperity to all people...as long as they worship him as almighty ruler. 

Ripperland #1 4/5  Another interesting concept.  England has become a "victorian amusement park" for America.  Since this is called "Ripperland," I think we all know what this entails. Kinda has a Westworld vibe, even though there are no robots.

 Green Lantern Corps #1 3.5/5  Thought I would give this a try. Not familiar with recent events,but DC has been really good lately...so it was good enough to bring me back next issue, and that's really what it's all about.

 Magik #1 4/5  Not a bad start to a fav character. Good art,too. Gonna stay with this and see.

Poison Ivy #30 5/5  I would rate this even higher if I could. If you've been following this series,you know what I'm talking about! Just when I think it might have reached it's peak, boom!

Cruel Kingdom #1 3.5/5  A fantasy title with 4 short stories in it.  I liked it, but don't know if that's enough to bring me back.

 Absolute Wonder Woman #4 5/5 Continuing a great story line and Diana's origin. Best of the new absolute books.

Ultimate Universe: 1 Year In #1  4/5 Interesting tie-in. Initially wasn't paying attention to this title, but I'm into it now!

Batman: The Gargoyle of Gotham #3  2.5/5  Gonna have to go back & re-read 1 & 2. Maybe I will like it better.

Metamorpho #1  2.5/5  Didn't care for this, even though Al Ewing is the writer. Too reminiscent of "60's DC Silver Age silliness.

 

Jenny Sparks #5 4.5/5  Now this is more like it!  The best issue of this series yet! Tom King delivers!  

Batman: Dark Patterns 5/5   I hesitated on this one because of all the bat-books out there. Glad I went for it.
