Good thing I didn't try to wrap my Black Lantern J'Onn J'Onzz coverage, I guess. I don't hate the first round, but I'm not excited, either.

Martian Manunter is present and accounted for, but his story moves so slowly you can totally skip this volume.

I'm sure I read this book, and it was pretty, but I recall next to nothing.

Miss Martian
Looks like Miss Martian is finally off the main Teen Titans team... around the time the Young Justice cartoon is meant to start? I'd assume there was a spin-off coming, but the brain trust at DC can't seem to handle the one book.

Whaaaat? A Brightest Day hardcover already? That was fast.

I'm considering dropping DCU Legacies but I'm still on the fence. Nothing has me too excited these days. I was just about to drop Streets of Gotham until I saw Two-Face has a backup feature. Curses.

Riiight. I guess they didn't make a 52 no collection until series' end promise.

I figure to cherry pick Legacies, since I've had my fill of the Golden Age JSofA and Zero Hour timeline.
