I'm waiting until the end of the JLA/JSA arc. But outside of the dialogue, the story hasn't been great, I don't really care all that much about most of the characters on the team (and the issues so far haven't really changed my mind yet) and I haven't liked the art.
Then again, the team on JLA right now is only on for like, two more issues after the Lightning Saga, so I might stick around a bit longer.
And this isn't a reason for dropping the book at all, but god damn, I don't want to pick up any more Michael Turner covers. There was something seriously wrong with Karate Kid's neck and I can't even look at the issue anymore.

My only problem with JLA is the art. It's not bad, just generic
I did laugh at Val Armorr karate chopping Black Lightning so hard in the neck that his teeth fell out

Man, fuck Robin #161
it's a good story, but then
Dodge being a dickhole now and apparently Cassie's still evil?
Tony Daniel fits the book perfectly. My only gripe is that Bart seemed like a mix of Wally and Spider-Man in this issue
edit: although "Sorry, couldn't hear you with a tranquilizer dart in your neck." is a great line
Flash is only reading as passable to me, from what I've seen. I think you're contending with lowered expectations.
man there was nothing wrong with this issue
other than Inertia reminding us that he's from the future every other panel
Nothing wrong, but plenty derivative. I've heard variations of "Couldn't hear you with..." before, and none of the other lines stand out either.
Mostly though, it seems like the protagonist still hasn't established a new personality to make up for the one he lost. Mix of Wally and Spider-Man is right. He's just generic young, but capable hero with a sense of humor.
And there's no excuse for that when Bart Allen's history is completely different from theirs.

I liked the end of the issue

Is Marrow depowered? I'm guessing so, since she has a bunch of knives instead of using her bones.
In any case, I didn't really think much of her reveal. Can't imagine she'd be much of a threat to Siryn, and certainly not to M.
Was it just me or did Layla and that girl Siryn and M saved seem to know eachother? It looked like Layla was shocked to see her, and when Layla is shocked well.. thats pretty huge.
Also: I love my comic shop, they set aside a copy of the JLA variant cover because they know I hate Turner.

Keith scan the page with the college sex romp so all can enjoy.
Joe Bennett's pencils actually made me wish the DCU would go back a few years, just so Dick and Babs would still be Batgirl and Robin because they looked so damn good.
He needs more work.

you should buy it, it's pretty good and actually has a lot of story in it
Basically Babs wants Dick to become his own man before becoming "Barbara's husband". So they still want to get married but not anytime soon.
oh my god if Fram had told me I needed to "become my own woman" before we got married, I would've said "what the fuck does that mean" and then I'd have punched him in the balls.

She didn't say it in those words. She said that Dick was always putting himself last and he needed to do stuff for himself before getting married.

Actually, she was shocked because she didn't know her. She had no idea that M and Siryn were going to rescue her and bring her back.
Which, uh, is kinda even worse, when you think about it.

You're right, I totally misread the last panel on that page as having way more subtext than it did. She asks Layla after everyone leaves if she's in trouble, which is probably a pretty normal reaction given the intense scrutiny Layla is no doubt giving her. I just read it differently the first time. But yeah, either way, something big is up.

Manhunter was a good issue. I'm getting tired of Circe, but I'm guessing Andreyko was told to use here since she's in every goddamn Wonder Woman issue now

Cable and Deadpool was indeed great and I am happy that Bob, Agent of Hydra totally is now a supporting character.
Also, I don't mind Cable coming back because this is the only book he's ever been written well in ever. Also, he's apparently missing so it might be Deadpool and the X-Men and he might bust out the old Marvel Girl costume.
I think the next issue is a crossover with the current X-Men storyline in which Cable's body is being inhabited by some kind of space parasite thing. Im not sure how to explain it cause the story dosent make that much sense.

He's going to go crazy and steal all of the X-Men's rings and kill them and then a new mutant is going to come in and save the day and then ten years from now they'll bring Cable back

No, Parralax makes way more sense than this.
Also, on a tangent: you can't honestly tell me you aren't at least a little bit intrigued by the Sinestro Corps?

It was worth the $3.99 because it actually made the whole engagement thing make sense and put it in a good light.
But also because of "I don't know what you did to me, but now I can't feel my legs."
that is one of the best lines ever
