Not a giant week like last week, thank god...


Countdown #40 --  More of the 52 earths are revealed.  Turns out they include several from Elseworlds, like Gotham by Gaslight, Red Son and Red Rain.  And the Question is seen briefly, showing us that without her fedora, she looks like Judomaster (and that's not a good thing).


Sheena, Queen of the Jungle #2 -- The whole story so far seems to be based around the mystery of who Sheena really is.  I don't know if I would have started that way -- maybe do a few straight-forward jungle adventures, then have the mystery revealed in the third story.  Show us why we should care about who Sheena really is.  But I guess they have no guarantee of getting to a third story, so they are starting with the origin...



Speak of the Devil #1 --  I love Gilbert Hernandez's stories, but there was a few years I wasn't buying Love & Rockets and now I'm lost when I try to read a Palomar story.  But when he does something standalone, I'm there.  Now I just need to decide if I should buy the remaining 5 issues as they come out, or wait for the trade...


Teen Titans Go! #45 --  Beast Boy and Cyborg tell their origins.  Actually, Beast Boy tries to embellish his and trips over his lies in a funny sequence.  Cyborg's origin is much less interesting...
