I'm psyched -- $15 brings me up to speed on

However, in the interests of fairness, and of maintaining my "cred"* as an up-to-date comics fan, I have decided to give four of the new DC titles a ch

Writing is so-so - they re-visit alot of the tropes from various G-Films. There's some political humor at the end that seems forced, and falls flat f
