[caption id=“attachment_528” align=“alignleft” width=“195” caption=“Batman Vol 2 #6”] [/caption] Batman Vol 2 #6 - see the linked review Nightwing Vol 3 #6 - the story is near its conclusion and it’s still pretty great Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 #679.1 - a great one-off that gives us more time with Uatu Jackson and sets up a future storyline Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 #7 - this arc is about one issue too long, but it continues to have some great action. Red Hood and the Outlaws #6 - see the linked review X-Factor #232 - The story arc ends with a lot of great humor and possibly setting up some future arcs

Generation Hope #15 Nightwing Vol 3 #5 - the main plot takes a break while Dick deals with Voodoo! Red Hood and the Outlaws #5 - the book once again looks exciting. We’ll see if #6 is disappointing or if Lobdell breaks the trend. Generation Hope #15 - Sebastian Shaw is brought back to Utopia and all hell breaks loose. Marvel once again teases that Hope will be the Phoenix in Avengers vs X-Men later this year Uncanny X-Men Vol 2 #5 - The X-Men unknowingly deal with the consequences of the recently ended Uncanny X-Force story line. Daredevil Vol 3 #8 - Part two of The Devil and Details (started in ASM) is AWESOME! Ties back into earlier Daredevil story lines and has great dialogue. Amazing Spider-Man Vol 2 #678 - Time travel has some unexpected side effects for Spidey Uncanny X-Force #20 - Fantomex must face trial for his murder of Apocalypse and Psylocke gets an interesting offer

Last week was a very heavy comic release week for me. I enjoyed almost all of them;Batman most of all, as you already know . [caption id=“attachment_217” align=“alignleft” width=“197” caption=“Amazing Spider-Man #674”] [/caption] Generation Hope #13 - I continue to enjoy the dynamic between all the members of Generation Hope although I feel that the book is suffering from being a monthly book that is trying to work on both the personal drama and the action and both end up suffering. X-Men #21 - This book continues to do a much better job post-regenesis of keeping me interested. The team is still out in Eastern Europe working on figuring out who’s buying black market Sentinels X-Factor #227 - the idea was great, but the fight was so chaotic I kept losing track of what was going on. Basically they’re trying to fight a demonic force that killed a kid’s mom and is now killing others Red Hood and the Outlaws #3 - I really liked learning more about the characters in this book. This is another book that feels like each month it has to make a hard decision about whether to focus on action or backstory and I like them both. Amazing Spider-Man #674 - the beginning of a new arc with Vulture as the main villain. It was just like almost all first arc issues - a lot of setup and not as good as I’m sure it’ll get when we’re deep into it.

Dan: My kung fu will destroy yours Eric: So this week I decided to choose Batgirl #3 which was actually a surprise contender to me. The week before the issue was out I was telling you about how I wasn’t sure about Batgirl. As you know, hype can be a double-edged sword. All the hype about Gail Simone piqued my interest in the book, but it also lead to disappointment when issues #1 and #2 weren’t the greatest thing ever. ...
