Anybody else reading "Wednesday Comics"?

The thing about issue 11 is that everybody's hitting the brakes at the same time and seeking to quickly resolve the story AT THE SAME TIME. It's like eating a big denouement sandwich. I don't even want to think about the next issue. They need to do this as a regular weekly thing and stagger the storylines, like Marvel Comics Presents was (I used to have the first 75 issues of that damn thing!)

I thought some things about #6

:-/ at FM swipe in last Batpanel

Kamandi has now really broken away from the Val homages! Great to see the shift Gibbons and Sook have pulled off here.

Insanely bad storytelling in the Superman – three Mohawk-Sontarans are shown flying in formation, but without panel backgrounds it looks like the og one very slowly approaching Superman, who despite his super-speed just crouches watching for several minutes. Not bothering to see if his parents have been killed by their house blowing up. Some devoted son you are, prick.

Really missing the snappy diner action with big skirts from the first Green Lantern now.

YAY at the activity page Metamorpho (though BOOOOOOO at no counters to cut out! Especially after they are announced!). You can tell that Gaiman (at least – hopefully Allred too) actually grew up reading comics in different forms, not just American superhero pamphlets – his delight at squeezing in so many different aspects of a Sunday supplement is transferable to this reader.

Still no backgrounds on Teen Titans, and now this blue dude is spouting the kind of bullshit racist pidgin English that I found moronically offensive in Marvel books when I was 11, let alone two decades later.

Awesome “TWIST!” in the Adam Strange! Compare with how nothingly predictable the Batman, Superman and Titans strips are – those dudes should all retire in shame. (Then again, Pope should actually put out half the stuff he promises…)

Really like the cartooning in Supergirl this week, love the clam-phone gag, but Aquaman talking like a goombah shat me from the first panel, and then BLATANTLY MADE NO SENSE when they explained it. Can Conner write? Does she really need her boyfriend?

After my disapproval of the first week of Sgt Rock, I’m now kinda loving that it’s almost halfway through and Rock is STILL in the chair getting smacked.

Enjoy the shift from Iris Allen bottomer to Gorilla Grodd bottomer, but would actually rather read about career woman romance struggles than punching, so hope it doesn’t go too far that way.

Still wishing Baker would treat the words in Hawkman with the lack of seriousness he actually brings to the material, instead of DC-sadface-pofacing it up.
