Is it because it is a five-week month, or was this past week a bit on the sparse side? In fact it seems as though ALL the weeks of March have been a bit thin. It will probably be brutal next Wednesday.

Not a whole lot out there, but still...a decent week.

Batman: Streets of Gotham #10 was pretty good. Damian is in over his head, which I tend to think is actually good for him. Just hope he doesn't actually lose it...permanently. Manhunter continues to be pure enjoyment.

Green Lantern #52...Oh, you know the drill. I'll get to this tomorrow. But man, it was Amazing!

Justice League: The Rise of Arsenal #1

Well! They are still ladleing out the pain and angst for poor Roy by the bucketsfull in this issue. Through the power of flashbacks, we are able to see him get his arm ripped off all over again, not to mention seeing little Lian's last agonizing moments. Ollie is acting shifty, Hal and Dinah are sympathetic, and Roy is losing his mind, quite possibly literally. And just so that we don't think getting one's arm ripped off is simply, it turns out that Prometheus ALSO injected Roy with nano-thingies...just to make getting a cybernetic arm that much more difficult.

Prometheus was a real jerk.

Next month, watch as the writers go back and kick puppies.

Power Girl on the other hand, was hilarious AND exciting. The cover has to be one of the best I've seen...and it ACTUALLY IS IN THE BOOK! Terra helps Peej get free of Satanna's little trap, and then Kara gets blackmaile by the kid into going with him to the Comic Book Shop, teaching some bullies a lesson, and helping him to pick up a girl that he likes. Actually only the first of those things actually happens, but she's working on the rest. AFTER she figures out just what has gotten into Terra.

I am going to miss Amanda Conner, Gray and Palmiotti SO MUCH! I'm going to give Winick a chance...but he'd better not blow it.
