Boughts and Thoughts - December 31st, 2008

First post of 2009. May all of you have a great new year.

Batman Cacophony #2 - Meh... still wasn't as good as the first half of issue one. One more issue to go. Will buy it for the completist in me.

Final Crisis: Secret Files - Thought this would be somewhat like the Secret Files & Origins stuff, with bios and other stuff done by other creators. Instead, it was just a story about how Libra ties into Final Crisis. Oh, and I was considering buying both the Frank Quitely and Jim Lee covers, but after seeing the Frank Quitely one, I couldn't justify spending money on a cover of Libra.

Green Lantern #36 - Damn, Geoff Johns is getting me hooked again. This issue was pretty damn good. I am so looking forward to the Blackest Night.

Incognito #1 - Wanted to give this one a shot, and it's looking alright. Probably would be a better read when it is collected. Not sure if I'm continuing with this title.

Justice League of America #28 - I am on the verge of dropping this title. It wasn't something I wanted to do, because it is one of the titles that I wanted to collect, regardless of the creators involved. We'll see how long it is before I drop this.

Justice Society of America #22 - Considered dropping this title when Geoff Johns and Dale Eaglesham are off of it, but I may or may not stick for the Willingham/Sturges run. Kinda glad this Gog story is finally over.

Kick-Ass #5 - Spoiler Alert! Kick-Ass saved a cat. Looking forward to the eventual ass-kicking team-up.

Superman #683 - Zatanna! DC Superheroes vs. New Kryptonians! Continuing this great story.

X-Force #10 - Liked this issue. It was pretty. Choi/Oback are a great art team.
