Kinda glad the Court is coming back for that December Robin War crossover, even as I'm dreading a natural dilution of the dread Snyder and Capullo imbued them with in their original story.

I actually dropped the other Star Wars books when they announced the crossover (I buy too much already, and I'm considering a Marvel Unlimited subscription as it is for those books), but I liked this issue. Rucka has as strong a sense of dialogue as ever, and Checchetto's work is gorgeous. The issue goes by very…

Seeing Rucka/Checchetto was enough to make me pick up the insanely lengthy titled SW:JTFA:SA, and that was a close second this week for me.

I'm with everyone else here. The sort of grimy, beat-cop superhero work he's done has been great (Black Mirror, Green Arrow Year One, this). His figures are a little too understated to play well on the grander scale of, say, Superman, but for Batman and Green Batman with Bows, it works very well.

This was pretty easily my pick of the week. I'm actually really enjoying Superheavy, but this "very special issue" was great all the way around. Azzarello's voice shone through here a bit, and Jock was the perfect choice for this issue. Loughridge's color choices as the the issue grew increasingly washed out really…

This is the first place I've seen it explicitly called a mini-series. I have seen the author say elsewhere that he has a very carefully mapped out plan for 12 issues, and I know DC originally promised all the non-mini-series (so not Harley + PG, Bat-mite, and Bizarro) would at least see 12 issues.

I liked "the Digglenaut" personally.

So since Venditti took over the whole Lantern franchise has literally been one disaster after another, leaving the corps broken and with a horrible reputation across the universe.

Basically what mostlytoastly said. Lots of rumor mill pieces about DC's financial performance and their actual commitment to this publishing initiative.

Buy what you buy, how you buy it. Not everyone can afford to or wants to buy in issues, and it's a very real problem of the comics industry (and especially the Big Two) that overemphasizes certain types of sales to allegedly minimize risk.

Well beyond Omega Men (on which I shared my thoughts somewhere else in this thread), I read this week's Midnighter, Green Lantern, Detective Comics, and Lazarus.

I'd buy the trade too just to add to the numbers, but I'm afraid DC's gotten too gunshy with their introduction of new series for it to matter. Huge shame.

Well, with the previous poster having difficulties, I'll put this here:

Oh, hey, this is all I came here to discuss reading this week, really! Would you look at that?

"We're going to put all these dots on you, Mr. Stormare. You just… do what you'd normally do with a guest in your home."

Mrs. Peacock was a man?!

Serenity was great… I don't understand. Do people now not like that? I cannot keep up when we collectively turn on things these days.

It doesn't help that the creative stuff they're trying to work in ('zines, posters) are decreasing the page counts which makes the story feel very spare and thin at times. Also, I just don't love the New52 inclusion of Kurt Lance in her backstory.

I read a LOT between this week and last week, so I'll just highlight some of the notables.

Oh, off-topic, but I believe you mentioned wanting to track down that Dini Zatanna series from 2009ish? It's all on sale on Comixology this week as part of the Bombshells sale.
