Another comic book day came and went. What did everyone get? 
My haul for this week...
Superman #657: I find myself still enjoying Kurt Busiek's run on this book. An intriguing alternate future, though I'm still not quite sure where Busiek is going with this. (Did, however, love Helen Jordan as the future GL. ) The villain seems to be a bit derivative, but the conflict has promise. Good stuff.
Eternals #5: I find this book has really hit its stride since last issue. After finally making Sprite an interesting character, Neil Gaiman turns his attention to Druig and Zuras to good effect. I really would like to see more Eternals from Gaiman if they're handled this well.
Batman #658: Grant Morrison finishes his first arc, and it holds up rather well. Talia comes across as an excellent villain with interesting motives. I doubt we've seen the last of Damian, either... or at least I hope not.
Green Lantern #14: A good issue focusing on Hal Jordan's time in captivity during the missing year. Also some nice development with the Global Guardians. And I must admit, I liked the way the origin recap set up the final page. Johns has been on form with this book since OYL started, and good to see it continue.
Punisher #40: Another good issue from Ennis, as I would expect.
52 Week Twenty-Seven: Some more development of the time-travel angle, and done well. Also makes me wonder if this is where the missing 52 seconds play in. 52 hits its halfway point on a high, I think. Still my favorite DCU title.
