Light week for me with 4 titles:
Flash: Rebirth #5: good stuff.
Outsiders: interesting reading. I'm wondering about Terra (spoilers at the bottom of the post).
Yes, Supermanboy prime is back, sort of, His characterization feels a little off from the last time we saw him..... not radically different but somewhat, off.
Got Conan and it was insteresting. yes, it's a Dark Horse title and doesn't belong in the DC area but so what. The art is a little uneven but the story have me curious.

Got my 2 rings this week and now I'm only missing the Red and Green rings, I think.


Terra looks uninstpired. almost mummified in a generic sort of way. Is she just fattening them up for the kill?

JSA 80 page Giant was an interesting read, but I found some editorial errors to be distracting. Word bubble coming from the wrong Wildcat, making Ted seem like a skeeze, and Nate having two legs instead of one in a flashback to the attack on his family.

OK, I have to admit that this was the first comic I have ever read where I was actually amused by Superboy-Prime. I was soooo prepared to hate this comic because I truly loathe this character, but I was happily surprised by how good this was.

Also: Batman & Brother Power the Geek made for a very good issue of B&B. I share JMS' enthusiasm for the unpredictable team-ups. A couple he has slotted for future issues: The Atom & the Joker, and Aquaman & the Demon. I'm digging his run on this title quite a bit.

Left one off my list -- Batman Confidential, featuring the wonderful Ms. Blake (drawn correctly, too, so that she doesn't look like some anorexic model). Good issue, too.

Brave and the Bold has gone off in a weird direction. I know this guy said he wanted to use some "more obscure characters", but Brother Power the Geek???? And then to read Batman's philosophic musings about BP on top of it (very similar to the Dial H for Hero story a few issues back)? Is this gonna be a regular thing? "Join us next month to discover Batman's innermost thoughts about Cain and Abel from House of Secrets/House of Mystery!" I dropped three or four books from my pull list yesterday, and I think B&tB is about to join them.

I haven't read the JSA Giant yet; I've been having too much fun reading threads about Hammer of Thor.

There was still a comic story here, though, in addition to any musings Batman had. I thought it was a pretty good story. Yeah, it shares some things in common with the Dial H story, but I don't think that is a bad thing.

On top of that, Jesus Saiz's art looks pretty fantastic. This was a pretty excellent package as far as I am concerned.

I'm still waiting for the B&B issue that features a team-up between Batman and Batman.

Did you miss this one?

It's a team-up by proxy. They don't really meet, but fight the same villain as he moves from Earth to Earth.

While the two Supermen met quite a bit and developed a friendship, the two Batmen never crossed paths before the Earth Two batman was killed.

And they didn't team-up after E-2 Batman's death.



Tho, E-1 Bats did show up on Earth-2 and helped Robin defeat Hugo Strange.

Not what I meant.

how long is superboy prime gonna be the star of action comics

A long, long, long time. From now till issue #600, at least. So, you have 595 issues left till he takes a one issue break.

I'm thinking either just this issue or one more after.

Well, he's got a long battle ahead of him to fight Alexander.
And how come Alex remembers his death differently? I recall him being shot, but now it says electrocuted.

Dont really care just waiting for the new LOBO 2 part
