This month's comics parcel arrived yesterday. In it were a few things:
Lucifer #68 - the only comic I'm buying in issue form for the moment (and over a year now). Still amazing, and leaving things on a ridiculous cliffhanger yet again. 7 issues to go until it's all over, and I'm torn between not being able to wait and not wanting it to end.
Superman: Godfall - I can't remember who recommended this to me, but I'd like to hit them with a large stick. Confusing, badly written nonsense. There was a nice idea behind it (A powerless superman living in a racist Kryptonian society), but it was just mangled to hell and back.
I Can't Believe It's Not The Justice League - a sequel to Formerly Known As The Justice League. If you like Giffen/DeMatteis Justice League then you'll like this. If ridiculous banter and silliness aren't you thing then you won't.
Supreme Power Volume 2 - JM Straczynski has another take on Superhumans in the real world, and it works much better than Rising Stars. On the other hand, Rising Stars started well, so this may go similarly wrong in the long run. However, the first two collections have both worked well, and if anything it's been getting better. The first book was too self-consciously riffing off of various DC myths, and this one feels much more like its own thing. I'll be picking up book 3 with my next order.
