DC COMICS
Birds Of Prey #125, $2.99 - So does this fall "prey" to DC's business model of cancelling their good titles?

Fear Agent #25 (Dark Horse Comics) - by Remender, Moore, Lucas, Joughridge, Hawthorne. Backup, 'Bugged' by Barta, Nelson. Pinup by Sayer. First thought, someone REALLY needs to figure out the sound the lazer guns make, as I counted three different ones, possibly from the same gun. Ridiculous. On another note, though I love this series as a whole, this is getting really decompressed and kinda silly, considering the wait. This is starting to move like, Lone Ranger slow...that is bad.

The Punisher #65 (Marvel/Max) - by Hurwitz, Campbell, Loughridge, Johnson. Though this new storyline started out great, it's now devolved into silliness, banality, and cliched endings. Someone is to blame for this one going nowhere and not ending stronger.

Not having read the book yet but BLAAZZZZZAAT is my absolute favorite sound effect from the book. I have to say it out loud each time I see it on a page...heck, it even showed up in a recent issue of Booster Gold that Remender wrote and I had to say it out loud as well!
