Slow pacing aside, the art is fantastic.
Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death #2
In Ashecott, tales of Jonah Hex’s gunslinging past are known by few and believed by even fewer—save for Charlie, a young stable hand who admires the once-mighty bounty hunter. No stories at all are known about the mysterious preacher who has ridden into town, nor any tales of the strange followers he’s amassing by the minute, and least of all their...
Spectacular art raises this rating. Script is good if not predictable.

Dipping into this title for this arc.
I liked it! But will be out again once all of the crossovers start again.
Superman #43

This is close to perfect.

This story arc is a big step up for this book.
It feels like the broader story purpose is finally coming together.
Absolute Wonder Woman #25
The world-shaking "Heretic" arc kicks into a new gear as Diana’s search for Barbara Minerva comes to a bloody end in a milestone oversized issue! Do not miss the debut of the devastating Absolute Cheetah—she’s not quite what anyone expected…which is the only way Barbara Minerva would have it!
This is a really great comic and great ending to the arc.
I don’t love the way schiti draws Steve Roger, otherwise I might rate higher.
Captain America #16
WHO WILL RULE HELL? As the battle for Hell's throne reaches its dramatic climax, Steve Rogers realizes he may have chosen the wrong side. The effects of the war spill out into the living world, bringing the Marvel Universe to the edge of ARMAGEDDON!
This issue was a let down.
Overall great idea though.

I really like this comic. It’s dumb in all the right ways.
End of Life #9
Eddie, with some big and little friends, gets to kick the pants off Rumplemindt and Neils. Seems like he’s getting the hang of narrowly escaping the clutches of evil men. Everything else in his life? Not so much. How’s he going to handle Sophie learning his big secret…and what’s he going to do when George makes a huge request of him?
Pretty good.

I really enjoyed this. A fun script with some great art.

It’s a fun issue that brings back great memories of a different dynamic duo.
Plus I always like lapham.
Nightwing #143
With Robin by his side and the plants of Bad Seeds spreading through Gotham City, Nightwing realizes an old foe is attempting to use this night’s chaos to settle a grudge. But with so much water under the bridge, can the two boy wonders still work together as they used to? Or are the good old days really gone for good?
Padded.

Hammerfist #1
Meet MIKE DENTON: a dirtbag hitman, junkie, and absentee father who’s spent his life chasing the easy fix—drugs, cheap sex, and murder for money—while failing the one person who still believes he can be better: his daughter. Now, on the eve of BLACK NOON—an ancient darkness that erases the light in all things—Mike has to drag himself out of the gut...
The core of every true story is heart. This tale takes us back to a raw , more savage time with a villain that bleeds power. In it's rawness, this story beats like no Superman story has for years. The art is noir and pulls the pages to you. You get inside his mind. His fears , his faith and his contempt for all things corrupt, but alas he is still headstrong and vulnerable............ exquisite... more
