BTVS SEASON 9 FREEFALL #6
BATWOMAN #6
FRANKENSTEIN AGENT OF SHADE #6
GREEN LANTERN #6
WOLVERINE AND X-MEN #5
X-MEN #24

Really good week. Buffy, Frankenstein, W&X, and Batwoman are all great reads and I like getting them all together.

[jedispyder]

Green Lantern has recently been lacking, IMO. The story was interesting but it just didn't live up to what it used to be, sort of feeling a bit dragged on. I guess it was the whole "writing for the trade" persona that I just don't like.

[Tragic Angelus]

I agree completely. There was so much going into this arc with Sinestro being the Lantern, but it fell pretty flat. He's trying to keep it up with those same big surprises he used to use, like Ganthet being lobotomized and the "phase 3" from the Guardians, but it's just not working this time. In fact, all of Johns' books have been at the bottom of my list since the relaunch. His new job has really smothered his writing for me since he took over as CCO.

[jedispyder]

Yep, I agree. I dropped Aquaman (except for any variants) but I'm holding out for GL for the next arc but may be forced to drop it if it continues to underwhelm me. I dropped GLCorps (didn't even go with Red Lanterns after the meh first issue). The only GL book I'm really excited about each month is the New Guardians.

Brian Wood's Wolvie A and O is a bit dissapointing so far. I may not pick up the second issue after a cursory browse.

[jedispyder]

My retailer was already out of Thief of Thieves by the time I got there, a mere 4 hours after he opened. Oh well, guess I'll pass on it. Probably better that way since I need to cut back on what I buy. I also passed on Batman & Robin and New Mutants. As time goes on, I am more inclined to read digital than physical because no matter where I try to read I either have the problem of not getting enough light or getting pure glare and it can be very frustrating...
