Clayface: Celebrity Dirt #3
Hot on the trail of his double, Basil Karlo’s investigation continues with shocking videos of a designer supplement’s side effects. Surely there’s no connection to the missing women in the other Basil Karlo’s orbit…And how will the real Basil convince Dr. Victoria October to help him after she learns his most deeply buried secret—especially now tha...
A transitional part of the story. Good, not great.

Action Comics #1102
Young Clark Kent is trapped in Krypton’s past, forced to witness a world he never knew for the first time. His only hope of getting home is to break Supergirl out of Zod’s prison! But the present day is not safe either! Can Steel find a cure for the spread of the K-Zone before all of Earth is covered in Kryptonite?!
I don't mind the slow pace of this.
It's setting makes it comparatively original against all the other Bat books.
As such, it's a nice way to switch up genres.
I'm eager to see the mystery resolved also.
I'm also excited to see what Barbara does next.

Barbara Gordon: Breakout #5
Another attack makes Barbara question everything she thought she knew about the murders inside Supermax, and a new political prisoner finds herself trapped in the center of the mystery.
Lemire's best DC work.
His love of the character shines through the dialogue.
The jump between art styles is beautiful.
I am pleased this has been extended to 15 issues.
The last panel is very intriguing indeed.

An excellent conclusion to the arc.

The same level of quality as the previous serious.
But a Shrek reference? In Year One?
How modern is this Year One exactly?

Batman & Robin: Year One: Dynamic Duos #2
Robin’s successfully infiltrated the gang of kids terrorizing Gotham. In order to gather intel, he’ll need to get even closer and prove his worth to the person in charge of this group. But will Robin have to break Batman’s code in order to do it?
It was good but not a patch on the Brubaker Rucka classic.
Was hoping we'd see Romy, Marcus, Maggie or Montoya - but no.
I like Bad Seeds when it's focused on what's actually happening to Gotham - not the utterly trite Harley and Ivy melodrama.

Pure magic.

All is dark.
But all is not lost...
Rose isn't special. She works in the Factory just like everyone else—a dark, sprawling monolithic structure that runs along the coast and cuts the world in two. All that's left now are desolate settlements that exist in its shadow, made up of submerged villag...
Beautiful. The trademark Poelgeest sadness is in its bones. The sombre vibes of Precious Metal and Little Bird are felt, but this is its own beast.
I still can't believe it exists.
Thank you DC!

Doom Patrol #1
The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view ...
Immaculate as always. Aaron is just wonderful. In the context of the Absolute Universe, this was still quite shocking.

Absolute Superman #23
Superman’s hunt for Brainiac brings him up against the Toyman, who may just be the most terrifying villain the Man of Steel has faced yet—and their confrontation will leave Superman shaken in ways he never thought possible!
Actual plot progress for the narrative- vs the big load of nothing in the Batman part, as pretty as it was.

A blast. Finally some love for Red Hood.
Cool seeing Arsenal and Cheshire's kid on the team.

Absolutely loved it.
Williamson is on a tear.

This was a really good miniseries. I don't typically *get* Azrael as a character. He's always seemed like a bad idea to me. But Watters is a very capable writer who doesn't get nearly enough props as he deserves. And being that he's capable, he managed to make both the character and his world interesting.
P.S. Pay no attention to RedKryptoSuperman. All he does is goon out with others wh
