I know Swamp Thing and Animal Man were great last week, but this week I only picked up Batman and Justice League. I thought they were both solid, with the art from Capullo really picking up in 2 over 1. Meanwhile, in JL, the fight happened and it was cliche, sure, but it wasn't as bad as I was expecting and I dug everything that was happening. A solid week from DC for me. (Along with Fables, which totally counts and was totally amazing.)

JL - I agree, i thought it was a good step up from #1. the writing was definitely tightened and it felt good to get a bit more of the story.
Batman - Top notch book, a little predictable, but also surprising. Capullo's level of detail and Snyder's pacing are a great match.
Wonder Woman - Maybe it's my lack of knowledge of the myths, but this book is really intriguing to me. I find myself really hanging on the reveals, and really invested in the characters and story.
Batwoman - we talked about this on sunday.
Demon Knights - make vandal savage a gleeful barbarian who loves eating dragons and i will be there to read it every time.
Resurrection Man - expanding the mystery a bit while spending more time with scantily clad lady bounty hunters, this book feels like a 70's movie and i like that.
Frankenstein - admittedly, there's some weak points in this book. so far it hasn't totally come together and it's not always entirely clear what's going on(in story and art), but it has been a fun read so far, and i expect the pieces will fall in place.
Batgirl - this is not great. i've read worse, but it lacked a bit of the punch of the first issue.

you guys have covered my basic sentiment for the most part. Batgirl is in danger of being dropped, and I really thought this Batman issue was kinda lame... It makes no sense that Bruce is falling, and mentions he cant grab on to any of the gargoyles or it'll rip his arms off, then he lands on one instead? wouldn't that break his legs? that annoyed the shit out of me... and this Owl guy is okay, but still not sure where it's going... hopefully it picks up a bit more...
DCU Presents Deadman was pretty wacky, and not necessarily in a good way... kinda bummed about that... might not even make it to the end of the arc...
GLC was okay, but nothing amazing
WW is fun and eerie, interested to see where this goes from here...
I'm excited for Aquaman on Wednesday, Flash and GL:NG i'm kinda meh for both... if the #2's aren't stellar, those two will probably get dropped...
