I love the stuff between Carol and Hal. That's where this book really shines. Unfortunately, Mark Waid claimed her for Justice League. I would like to see Odyssey get more fleshed out. There isn't much to her right now. I liked Hal's entrance, but the Monkey around line was a little too much.

Joshua W. really gets Superman. I'm still not a fan of Lois being Superwoman. The panel where is flying in front of the other heroes, she looked exactly like Supergirl Beacause Lois is just a stand-in for Supergirl. I hope this storyline ends soon and Lois goes back to normal. Absolute Power was pretty much the worst thing that DC has done in years. As far as the rest of it. It was great. I love more

The art is great, unfortunately this a whiplash issue. We were in the middle of a story of Conan and Belit failing at a heist and then -- Boom! She dead and we are wisked forward in time. I liked the fight with the aligator, and the fight with the panther, but most of the issue felt unnecessary.

The artwork is great and the characterization of Kane is pretty spot on. I'm not sure about taking the story to Italy as I never saw Kane as a world traveler. I like that he accidentally kills a passenger and gets roped into going on a quest he doesn't feel like doing. The action is good and I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes.

This is the perfect example of why artists should not write on most occasions. The artwork is amazing and very moody. It matches the tone of Zatanna very well, however, the story is consulted and doesn't make much sense. Let's throw magic stuff everywhere like a Pollock painting.

This issue has some parts I like and some I don't. I like the general plot, though I am still baffled by Clock King's new powers. Psycho Pirate trying to use Raven to amplify his powers is a good idea. But then he tells her everything. She doesn't even ask him who he's working for, he just offers up all the information she could possibly want. That was just plain silly writing.
