My Haul:
52 #3: This one keeps getting better and better. The series contains the strengths of Johns, Morrison and Wad with none of the weaknesses. The plots are intriguing, the characters interesting and the pacing is perfection for a weekly comic book. I really like the series.
Batman #653: Hey, Two-Face is back. Yes, it's a regression but it's not Robinson's fault he was cured in a wrong headed move. It's like the deaths and resurrections. Maybe Magneto and Colossus had two of the most awful ressurrections ever. But it was a mistake to kill them. Here at least we got a decent story.
Blue Beetle #3. Fun, but kinda hollow. Nice art and story but not much else there. Entertaining, that's all.
Teen Titans #36: Heh, technically, Byrne's abominable series is part of continuity due to Superboy's tantrums, but Johns mostly erases it and settles once and for all that Morrison's DP is 100% part of DC continuity. The Painting That Ate Paris was a nice touch. I've been lukewarm to recent TTs, but this issue marks a return to what Johns does best.
Black Panther #16: Yeah, I was sucked into Storm's wedding. Not bad, but not great. Which is something for Hudlin.
She Hulk #8: Fun, but pretty much it. Slott seems off in this Civil War tie-in.
Dead Girl #5: Milligan continues to be the "No sh-t, Sherlock" of Pop Culture in this empty issue of a midly satisfying miniseries. Could be worse, could be Joe Casey. The art is awesome, though.
Squadron Supreme #3: A female character was raped and that's why she is so tough. I don't think there is an awful woman cliche JMS hasn't done but I'm confident he can prove me wrong. Oh, and I didn't tought anyone could have a more retarded take on politics than Mark Millar. Take a bow, Mr. Strackzinsky.
I have Hawkgirl, GL, Secret Six, X-factor and few other still on hold.

I'm withelding judgement until the first arc finishes, I like the dark moody atmosphere of Chaykin's art complimented nicely by Simonson's narration. Plus, it's entertaining to play the 'spot the nipple' game. I wonder if Chaykin is amining for some kind of record.
Secret Six and X-Factor were pretty good both. Simone is a really good and entertaining writer. Big dissapointing was New Avengers. It was a regular issue.
