Not enough time to give every book from the past week a detailed review so here is just a quick line or two of some of the more notable and a rating:

 

Batman and The Outsiders #12 : Decent artwork, Interesting to see the new direction. 3 out of 5 Batmen

Birds of Prey #123: A Joker/Oracle almost showdown, and a last page that makes next issue a must have. 4 out of 5 JLAers.

 

Grant Morrison’s Dr. Who #1: Cool collection of formerly UK only stories. But then I do have a soft spot for all Dr. Who Things. 5 out of 5 future JLAers.

Secret Invasion Amazing Spider-Man #3 (of3) : Should have just been called Jackpot and the Skrulls. Horrible if you were expecting Spider-Man to show up at all. Ok as a Jackpot mini. 1 out of 5 X-Men.

 

Tangent Superman’s Reign #8 (of 12) : Really bad artwork, so-so story. Wish this crossover was over already. 1 out of 5 Titans.

 

The Flash #245: Slightly muddy looking artwork and a lot of Titans interaction. I was hoping this would tie more closely into Final Crisis. 2 out of 5 Batmen.

 

Ultimate Origins #5 (of 5) Just a prelude to the end of the Ultimate Universe coming up in the Ultimatum crossover, Wish more would have happened in this mini. 2 out of 5 FFers.
