Much like Future State I like the concept and effort, but geez sooo many books that I won't bother.

Hope that The Golden Age/JSA revival turns out well, will check it out in trade

I don't follow regular DC but if anyone here likes the Batman family or "one last job" comics and hasn't read Catwoman: Lonely City by Cliff Chiang, rectify that.

Not DC but this month’s Fantastic Four 10 is a great one-off if you dig that sort of thing

Another month, another Fantastic Four #10

Has anyone read these Teen Titans books? I guess they're meant for the YA crowd, but they look kinda appealing to me: https://kamigarcia.com/books/teen-titans/beast-boy-loves-raven/

^I did end up buying the set, have read two of the three... they're good

Yeah, really good (just finished Book 3, and ordered the next one – Robin). I like the tone better than most of the Marvel stuff I've read lately... not so aggressively jokey. These characters obv have some miles on them, but this feels like a genuinely fresh take.

one month passes...

Read another recent-ish, YA-ish book that I enjoyed a great deal – Supergirl: Being Super, by Mariko Tamaki. Her dialogue is particular strong; some of the best I've seen in a Big 2 comic. It's a Kara origin story, of sorts; though I don't think it's "canonical" or connects with anything in the mainstream continuity (...although the way DC changes it up, who knows).

Btw – I didn't know that Kara goes by "Kara Danvers" these days... as more of a Marvel reader, that's kind of funny, given similarly-named (and -powered) hero on that side of the fence.

Seeing a lot of talk about a new Supergirl one-shot special, also by Tamaki. Anyone here read it? Seems to be generating a (strongly) mixed response.
