Anyone else check out Itty Bitty Hellboy? Because that was some pretty crazy stuff right there.

So I picked up JLA because I wanted to see how they introduced the Earth 3 guys and I just feel like DC really shouldn't have told everyone that the Earth 3 guys were coming. The entire issue built to that point, and it was clearly written to be shocking, but it wasn't because I read Newsarama.

I totally agree. While there were a few things that surprised me, like who the mole in the leagues was and that other thing , I feel like there was a lot more that could have been explained.

Overall, I think there were too many splash pages.

I am extremely excited for Forever Evil now, though.

Oh, and

That was exactly my first thought as well. Now I am starting to wonder if maybe that's what they want us to think. Maybe it is someone else...

This is probably my biggest critique against the industry in general.

Just finished Lazarus #3. This title is fricking awesome. I hate waiting for the next issue.

I had decided a couple of weeks ago that I'm dropping Captain America with issue 12. After reading this wee's issue, I made that decision at least a couple of months too late. The book was never what I hoped it would be (I wanted a lot less Zola, more new weird stuff for Cap to run into), but even what it is, I don't enjoy that much.

Captain Marvel was pretty interesting. I don't care about Infinity at all, but the background stuff, where Carol doesn't understand her teammates' references, and feels disconnected from all of them, that was good.

Angel & Faith ended well. I mean, I'd have preferred to see Whistler pummeled relentlessly (he's always irritated me), but I'll take what I can get. And the way things played out for Faith and Giles was fitting, if depressing. Also, Rebekah Isaacs has been killing it on this book as artist. I hope she'll land on some other title I want to read soon.

And I'm consistently surprised by how much I enjoy Avengers Arena. I hoped I would, but I really dig it.
