Batman #2 is packed with story, lots of panels by Capullo, and is able to be mainly an out of costume story but still having some excellent action. It's everything you want from a comic:
Green Lantern Corps #2, Isamot has a terrible, no good, very bad day:
Those are willpower ninja guys who I call "Meltzers" because they act like Deathstroke in Identity Crisis in that they stand up to a GL's willpower until Guy and John go Super Sayan on them

Justice League 2, was a lot better than JL 1. The fight scene I think was done pretty well. I really like the intro splash page because Batman just straight uses almost everything he has left in his belt against superman.
Then we had a nice back and forth on Twitter about moi. :P
I'd post the latter panel, but I don't have access to a scanner.

Dammit, they've given him Healing Factor syndrome.
Soon as we learn Isamot can grow limbs back, he's gotta have them all messily stripped off.
He almost certainly does, but we haven't seen him on a regular basis in the longest time. I was hoping he'd be in the cast here, but no dice so far.
Seems like he is insanely powerful, which is pretty cool
I think this story is going to be about a guy trying to learn how to live with what he can do, which should be fun. I'm hoping for a few cameos from other characters, because they are always fun, but so far, good stuff from JT Krul.
that will learn me to be slow on my motw
posting anyways
anyways any time supes get smacked around i get a warm happy
you're right, the wall punch isn't as good without the windup from the trees first
Now. I guess that crush gave the Serpent a weakness? And that weakness - though it wasn't physical - is what let Thor successfully stab the Serpent in the face? Is that right? How does that follow? Are we saying that because gods are entirely metaphysical constructs, there's no difference between a "physical" weakness and an emotional one, that they're all the same?
Why is the prophecy a best-case scenario? Why does the prophecy describe what could happen, and require people to work hard towards it? I thought the whole point of a prophecy was that it was a defined point in the future, that no matter what people do, they'll arrive to that point. Loki is saying the reverse: that unless they work really hard to get to that point, they'll miss it.
Also, what was the deal with those steps? There was a whole thing about how, when they were leaving Dark Asgard, Loki's Eleven made a total of eight steps. I think Thor's prophecy was that he'd kill the Serpent, walk nine steps, and then die. So... why was so much emphasis put on Loki's team walking eight steps? What did I miss?
Also, boy, did
Edit: * badly
Right, I saw that much. But, again, what does that mean? Does it make any difference that it was her rather than some anonymous girl? Did
He was incurring the wrath of Anonymous via V for Vendetta.
Yeah absolutely. I loved that panel with the Great Wall and I'm a huge sucker for that sort of fight sequence.
Wonder Woman #1&2 was so good, I'm glad I picked it up (thanks Arivia!). The new 52 take on her has my full attention, and that is a first for a WW book imo.
Blue Beetle #2 & Captain Atom #2: They both improved over their "meh" first issues, but not enough to warrant keeping up with them.
Captain Atom #2 hosptial scene = either a huge mistake or a setup to something (hopefully) thought provoking and interesting.
Justice League #2: GL and Flash acting like Blue Beetle and Booster Gold = great fun. Superman acting the way he did = very dissapointing/lazy hack writing. That reasoning for heroes fighting heroes was stale before I was born.
Nightwing #1&2: Like Wonder Woman I never was very interested in Nightwing, but the direction they are taking him seems pretty neat.
$23.00+ in comics means I have to justify the expense by talking about every issue on the internet!
I have been there. $35 means I will spend the next two weeks talking about how bad my Marvel titles were, how disappointed I am by Blue Beetle, and how I sort of wish I had picked up Captain Atom 2.
But my MotW was probably the entire issue of Wonder Woman. I wasn't totally convinced of this take by the first issue, but the second did wonders (no pun intended), and I am really looking forward to the future of this book.
Really enjoyed Batman, Justice League, and even Red Hood & the Outlaws.
Well, if he ends up in Hel (which I assume is the case since to my knowledge it's either Hel or Valhalla for Asgardians, and he ain't getting into Valhalla) then there is going to be a pretty rough conflict between Hel and Mephisto's dominion. As far as I can tell, she represents the subconscious desire for death and descent into Hel that would help fulfill the prophecy that he would otherwise have overcome.
"...the price for getting what you want, is getting what once you wanted."—Dream, in SANDMAN #19: "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
This would also explain her comment about the bloodletting she does for Loki to rewrite The Serpent's story in her blood is but a drop of what she will soon have to endure.
On a related note about outstanding issues from JIM/FI -
Surtur is out in the wild again, and I assume will be a major part of the next arc since Mephisto let it be known that Loki freed him.
Oh, and how awesome was it when Surtur appeared in Dark Asgard? I loved that. He was promised Asgard, not Odin's Asgard. Seriously, this book is amazing.
