Guess not many people are reading this.  Which is probably good...because its not that great.  The first one was amazing and (re)introduced a bunch of characters.  This is about Red Bee going crazy...which I didn't realize was the storyline.  Wish it was back to the government conspiracy stuff.

But like a loyal comic collecting zombie I'll collect the last 3 issues. 

February 26, 2008 2:07 pm i really really like this book.  But I kind of feel like its all over the place.

I kind of wish that the covers had more to do with the story.  Not neccesarrily directly, but it would be cool to have some tie into the story.

@Neb - definitely a meh for me too.  Don't regret picking it up, but it has been as fun as the previous volume. 

February 26, 2008 2:04 pm @mistersizzle - definitely.  This issue better deliver because I feel like many many people are picking up the first issue to give it a try (me as well)

At first I thought their marketing campaign was a little much...but it seems to have worked.

I agree with both of you.  Its a great book, but its time for things to come to a head. 

Not really a fan of the cover though...i don't like the heads around the border.

February 26, 2008 2:00 pm Just caught up on the two Criminal trades this weekend.  Really excited to read this in issues.

February 26, 2008 2:00 pm I think last issue had a big step in the story, but still waiting for me.  I've said it in the past, I'll keep buying this because its weekly.  I enjoy it enough to keep me coming back for me. 

February 26, 2008 1:58 pm Best new character DC has come up with in a while.  Started this series at the beginning, stopped it after one issue...and have regretted it ever since.  The whole series has been building to this, but without interrupted the story telling of individual issues.  If you like teen titans, you'll like this.

I think this book delivers.  Its supposed to be (at least originally in theory) a response to the ultimate line.  So here is bad-ass batman.  Its unfortunate that there are delays because it seems to cut off any steam the book gathers.  I'm definitely on-board.  It makes me laugh and its fun to just read a book and not have to worry about where it all fits in. 

 I can definitely see, however, how people would dislike it.  I just hope that its because they don't like the characterization and not just because its not the bats them remember.

This is a great storyline.  I really hope that Johns and Robinson deliver a great year of Superman.  He deserves to be in good books. 

 Also, I can't believe the last son annual isn't out till May!  It better be a damn good annual because it seems highly irrelevant now.
