Good News, Bad News

A quick look at what last week hath wrought:

Detective Comics # 845:

Good News: Hey, look, Batman is actually doing detective work!! In Detective Comics, no less!!

Bad News: 6 pages of watching Batman have online chats? SIX pages?!? SIX?!?!?! Hey, Paul Dini, this isn't Countdown...you don't need to pad that much (or do you??)!

Invincible iron Man #2:

Good News: Hey, look, Matt Fraction has introduced a really cool looking news superhero team!!

Bad News: D'oh!! They're dead already!! They went under more quickly than The Order!!

More Good News: Iron Man's conversation with Thor. Was JMS taking notes?

Criminal #3:

Good News: Man, this book rocks.

Bad News: I want more now!!

More Bad News: Why aren't more people reading this? C'mon, folks!! You say you want more non-superhero comics...well, here it is!!


Avengers/Invaders #2:

Bad News: The book really kind of sucks.

Good News: You're going to see actual Avengers, both New and Mighty, here...and that's more than you can say for any other Avengers book for the past few months (and likely the next few, too).
