Batwoman #4 - I'm enjoying this series more and more with each issue. The artwork is fantastic, as always. My favorite part was the messed-up way Chase got Flamebird to reveal her secret identity - some cold-hearted stuff going on there.
Batgirl #4 - A satisfying conclusion to the first story arc with a cliffhanger that makes me eager for the next issue. I don't have much new to say about this series, only I'll reiterate that I'm glad that they are dealing with the fact that Barbara Gordon spent so much time in a wheelchair, and her "miracle" recovery is being dealt with in a manner that makes the character more interesting.
Batman and Robin #4 - Easily tied with Batman as my current favorite book with the Dark Knight in it right now, this issue didn't disappoint either. Batman definitely has a lot of work to do with this current Robin, and each issue develops the relationship further. Plus, the villain is a pretty interesting one, as he's trying to recruit Damien Wayne to join up in a more ruthless vigilante partnership than the one he has with his father.
The New Avengers #19 - This series is picking up steam again, and it had one of my favorite Spider-Man lines in a long time: "I like to take as much blame as I can whenever I can. Don't take that from me. It's the only joy I have." Good stuff - is there any wonder why I love this character so much?
Green Lantern #4 - Good stuff, yet again. Sinestro only gets more and more interesting in this series, as he has what all good bad guys have: the conviction that he's actually the good guy.
Avengers: X-Sanction #1 (of 4) - Meh. Cable fights the Avengers. Who gives a crap? Not me. I'm not getting the next one.
The Walking Dead: Volume 15 - As always, I zoomed right through this trade paperback. I once worried that this series would start to feel repetitive, but with this current story, it definitely feels like it's going in a different direction. The main motif is "hope" and that's what these characters are trying to hold on to in a world that seems to have crushed all sense of it. I'm curious to see where it will go from here.
