...forgettable. I was trying to remember what else I read and couldn't. I've already talked about Wednesday Comics in a previous post. Green Lantern #43 was simply amazing. This is prelude to Blackest Night and great lead into the series. It focuses on The Black Hand and his connection to the Blackest Night. Doug Mahnke's art is superb, this guy keeps getting better and better. I'm glad he's GL's new regular artist, I hope he's on the book for a long time.

Ah, now I remember: I also read Batman #688, Green Arrow Black Canary #22, Rebels #6, Red Robin #2, and Superman New World of Krypton #5. Batman was alright. I'm not a fan of Winick's writing, but it was solid enough. However, Mark Bagley is now on the book and absolutely hate Mark Bagley. He makes everyone look like teenagers. He made the scene about Dick complaining about the costume look like a teenager throwing a hissy fit. But I did like how Two-face realized it wasn't the same Batman. I'll definately keep reading this book as my issue is the art, but I do look forward to Tony Daniel taking over (especially since it looks like we'll finally see the Two-face Batman).
Red Robin and Rebels were both a good read as was World of New Krypton but I still can't really see the point of all of it, I just miss Superman being normal Superman. As for Green Arrow/Black Canary, if you've read my previous posts you know how I feel about the writer on this book. However, Bill Sienkiewicz doing the finish art on the Green Arrow story was really cool.
Finally, I picked up Brave and the Bold Vol 4 TP.

The Supergirl and Raven story was pretty throw away, the dialogue between the two was funny and witty but the action part was boring. The reason I picked this up was the second part of the book, which was a Green Lantern/Phantom Stranger/Green Arrow team up. David Hine wrote all three characters very well, the story was enjoyable and Doug Braithwaite art was very good. Green Lantern Orlan of Sector 3897 had a cool design and I'd like to see him in Green Lantern Corps. I wish Phantom Stranger would show up more often as he's pretty bad ass in this story.
Next week, Blackest Night #1!
