Comics Day

Batman 665
Grant Morrison continues to write a cool Batman book. His son, Damien, looks to have an important role in next issue, Batman 666.

Countdown 50
Not bad. It's not hooking me as much as 52 did, but I am enjoying it. One thing I do like is how certain elements from other books are being referenced here, such as Batman vs Karate Kid from Justice League of America. It looks like this is going to be the backbone of the DC universe.

Fallen Son: The Death of Captain America 3
Tony Stark tries to convince someone thought dead, (then alive, then dead again, and now alive) to take up the role of Captain America. I am so waiting for Stark to get his comeuppance.

Justice League of America 9
The Lightning Saga continues. This is my Legion. the one I grew up with. More Legionnaires are assembled. Villains plot from the future while the Legion has it's mission in the past.

The Mighty Avengers 3
Ultron is back and replaced or rebuilt Tony Stark to make her body. She and Sentry go at it, while the world's weather patterns are disrupted. The return of the thought balloon is having mixed results. Sometimes it works great, others... Bendis needs to use it a bit more sparingly.

Moon Knight 10
Moon Knight and Punisher. I'm thinking of dropping this.

Supergirl 17
Finally, we're finishing up the whole, "I've been sent to kill you, cousin" storyline which has been in the background since the beginning. I think we're also moving towards the split Supergirl story, which is how she is in Legion of Superheroes and the present with such different dispositions.

The Ultimates 2 13
Finally finished. The team goes independent finally, which is a much needed change. Hawkeye has the last word with Natasha. Looking forward to the Ultimates 3.

X-Factor 19
Many things are happening, and moving towards a head. Pietro is tangling Rictor up in his scheme to restore powers to former mutants.
