Ugh. Admittedly I fell off comics for sometime and coming back, to learn they turned Tim Drake gay? Disappointing and pure laziness from a creative standpoint...
Asides from that, probably my favorite cover so far this year and a really enjoyable book.
Loses a point for following lame political trends..

Batman #6
After he survives the date night from hell, the long night isn't over for Bruce Wayne. While he juggles multiple needs as Bruce, Hugo Strange's Monster Men at- tack a petrochemical facility and force Batman into action. Gotham City becomes a powder keg as superstars Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez continue their acclaimed run on the Caped Crusader...
Kind of a silly comic and characterization but it's fun and I'm also kinda nervous for ole boy Lex there at the end.
Glad I picked this back up.

Absolute Superman #16
Superman finds himself at the forefront of a bold new age of heroes in the Absolute Universe, but he quickly learns that he wasn't the world's first super-powered protector. Enter Hawkman, who has a few tips for the new kid, whether he wants to hear them or not!
Honestly probably the weakest of the four issues but still a lot of fun. And to the cynics, there's plenty of elseworld titles where Batman's life is hell, let the knight have a win eh?

DC K.O.: Knightfight #4
Bruce Wayne became Batman to strike terror into the hearts of criminals, but he never imagined a world where Gotham City would be so safe it no longer needs its Caped Crusader. But when he arrives in a Gotham where Damian achieved that very peace, will Bruce destroy everything his son has built to overcome the Heart of Apokolips's test and re-enter...
There's that little cliched 'we could've got the villain two issues back, but we didn't so now we're extending the story for a cat and mouse chase type of arc..
However..
This may be one of my favorite issues in the series.. the writing and art and little continuation here, was very well done.
Bravo!

Spider-Man & Wolverine #9
ARACHNIX ATTACKS! All-new villain ARACHNIX deploys his sinister scheme. But how can SPIDER-MAN and WOLVERINE combat a villain who out-claws the Wolverine and out-spiders the man? Are LOGAN and PETER DEAD ALREADY?!
Being an old school slasher fan, I don't care for the elites and the rules and even less for the cast of the town folk.
I think the series would've been better from the POV of the killers.
Still curios to see what happens next tho.

Love the art. Story is very predictable Snyder approach. Still good and enjoyable.

Final Boss #2

As Tommy's powers manifest in a brutal way, he's forced to confront the truth of his new abilities and the violent destiny that comes with them.
Coming back to this title after accidentally dropping it in issue 8.
There's a lot of really super stuff going on, however an equal amount of seemingly unnecessary things that Aaron apparently needs to add. Kind of feels like a disservice towards the book more so than anything else..
It is a start and I am intrigued.
Ferreyra's art is a definite a plus.

Absolute Superman #15

But more importantly, there's work to be done, as we experience a day in the life of the world's busiest superhero-and welcome guest artist Juan Ferreyra (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) to the series!
Wolverine fights a bear..
This book and maybe even the series feels as if the writer and whoever artist is just sort of winging it on a monthly basis
I wonder if the new Cyclops series will be any good?

Ultimate Wolverine #13
INTO THE MAKER'S WAR! Wolverine hunts down the Maker's Council...and with the Maker himself on the horizon, it's time to exact revenge on the ones who turned his life into a living nightmare! Wolverine's journey through the ENDGAME starts here!
Okay. Dark. Brooding. And depressing..

All-star creators Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora deliver the next pulse-pounding chapter of Batman's journey during DC K.O., giving us the Dark Knight's greatest challenge yet. Jason Todd is Batman. Tim Drake is Batman. And to complete his mission, Bruce Wayne will have to fight both of them. The former Robins aren't giving up without a fight, and ...
I'm pretty sure I liked the second Reign better than the first.
The wonky-ness was off the charts.
