Nice sized week with only one substantial disappointment --Justice #9 is delayed. I'm curious about the Infinite Christmas Special - will it be all the fun and goofiness that we never get to see in superhero comics anymore, or has DC's serious modern age talent lost touch with that aspect of DC's past? Robin #157 had me excited a while back because I'm a huge fan of Klarion: The Witch Boy, but recent issues have convinced me that nothing can save a Beechen Robin story; not even one of my favorite characters in the DCU. Superman's Greatest Stories Ever Told vol. 2 -- are they? I'm curious, but between vol. 1 and the first two volumes of Showcase Superman, I'm up to my ears in old Supes stories. I'm wondering if this one is worth it. Finally, New Teen Titans Terra Incognito, I am not pleased with this volume at all. Terra was the most exciting thing to ever happen to the Titans, but this volume stops just before things start getting really good. Anyone that really wants to experience the story of Terra and the greatest chapter in Titans history needs to pick up the New Teen Titans Judas Contract tpb instead.
This week, I'll be grabbing:
