Thunderbolts #164, it tries to fight back against Daredevil to reclaim its spot as best Marvel book, and largely succeeds. The retro uniforms are totally tubular, especially Boomerang's, and Man-Thing needs some Miracle Gro:
Speaking of things hanging out in swamps, Swamp Thing #2 has a really trippy and creepy exposition page:

Seriously, that is probably the biggest surprise for me from this whole relaunch.
Unless, of course, Giffen's Kirby impression is not limited to art, but also includes writing duties for which he won't get credit until decades later (hey-oh).
I never thought Dan Dildio would be able to write a great comic. I was WRONG.
It's such a weird development. DC Editorial gave us this impression that they were dead set on making things grim & gritty, then DiDio goes and writes this straight up fun-first action book. It's totally counter to expectations.
Is there supposed to be a gap in time between him escaping and him being in the city, or did he just jump out of the building and end up in the city immediately?

Yeah, that confused me too. For a second I thought the entire interrogation was happening on a blimp.

Last of the Greats #1; Once upon a time, seven superhumans known as the Greats, came to Earth, hoping to solve all of humanity's problems. In return, humanity murdered all but one of them, who hid himself away in Antarctica.
Now, an expedition has been mounted to find the last of the Greats, so that he may defend them against a greater threat. For the first time in quite some while, he steps outside his fortress of solitude, to see what all the fuss is about.
The Strange Talent of Luther Strode; Luther Strode is an average, American nerd. Bad with girls, worse with bullies, he sends away for a pamphlet detailing The Hercules Method, a workout regimen that promises to make him a new man, by aligning his body, mind, and soul. While the veracity of that statement could be debated, it does indeed give him certain -- talents.
Caution, NSFW
OMAC #2; Stranded in Texas, far from his home in Metropolis, assistant bio-tech manager Kevin Khois directed by the sentient satellite known as Brother Eye to enter a local diner, ostensibly for a simple meal. In reality, he is there to confront Rocker Bonn, former agent of Checkmate/Cadmus guinea pig, and current Amazing Man/dishwasher for Susie's Diner.
The Animal Man art is so interesting to me. There are specific things that look like bad webcomic art (Buddy's son with the shovel) and some things that look great on the same page (Buddy in the very next panel).

I love Maxine and Mrs Pickles' pouty faces. The art can be a bit variable, particularly in the domestic scenes, but the stuff Foreman's doing with page layouts and creature designs is great.

I really wish the inking and coloring was stronger
I didn't like the art at first in previews. For some reason I think it helps with the horror aspect. Moody darkness and shadows are common in any book, so something so bright, pale yet scratchy with weird angles makes the book feel unsettling and off to me. It makes me feel like something's not right here.

I like that Fixer's a bit put off by it, instantly.
But really, I have no problem with dead Nazis being recycled for a good cause.

all good in the hood, then
I haven't read about him before and he seems so sad : (
also awesome
you really should track down the two Essential Man-Thing volumes

I think that's how you spell it.

Giffen is credited as co-writer, dude
Sorry, I can't see what you wrote with all this egg on my face.

More specific, X-Men First Class: Finals.
Oh nooooo
I get the trades so I'll have to wait to see what this is referring to
I hope Wee Hughie is okay
I won't spoil anything but thankfully the next trade coming out next month has up to issue 59.

That would be more than alright with me!
In other news: I had a dream where I my LCS didn't have Detective Comics #2. But then I woke up and I saw Detective Comics #2 on my bed side table.

Doesn't look bad overall though
If it looked more like Foreman's better work, I'd be onboard.
It's a bummer, because his work on Ares was amazing. But all his interior work since then, just seems to look increasingly messy.

I had never seen Foreman's artwork before, and it sold me on the concept of the entire book just with a couple preview pages. I'm loving it.
