DC Book of the Week - February 20, 2013 Edition

[InformationGeek]

Okay! I just finished reading everything I wanted to this week (well besides MLP micro series since I couldn't get my hands on a copy), so here's how it all came out!

Justice League
Batwoman
Justice League of America
Justice League of America's Vibe
Wonder Woman

If we were to include the other titles I read from other companies

Justice League
Batwoman
Justice League of America
Revival (My Reaction is here)
Justice League of America's Vibe
Thor God of Thunder
Nova
Avengers
Wonder Woman


My overall and finale opinion on every single one of these comics can be found here in my latest reflection (HERE)

It was a good week for Geoff Johns I found since all of his titles that I read were all very good. About time the guy woke up!

This is the second time since the reboot that I've chosen a Lobdell book and I feel dirty every time I do.

RHatO barely beats out
Action
Justice League was solid
Nightwing had some good moments
JLA was boring (except for Vibe's new importance)
Supergirl was almost painful

I'm going to go with Red Hood and the Outlaws this week. I liked everything I read this week but it edged everyone else out.

1. RHatO- Great character moments
2. Nightwing- Damian helps Dick out but the art was terrible IMO
3. Batman Beyond Unlimited- JLB was a particularly strong story here but the others not so much.
4. Batwoman- Thought the ending was a bit rushed but the art was stellar so that made up for it.

[Shimarenda]

My rankings, best to worst:

Justice League - massive issue
Justice League of America - great debut
Green Lantern - fascinating final arc set up
Sword of Sorcery - strong return to form
Justice League of America's Vibe - decent but unspectacular
Action Comics - weak, feels like Morrison is phoning it in

I'm glad you liked Sword of Sorcery pretty well. Too bad it's not listed in the poll so I could vote for it.

[crossbones]

so yeah, i ended up reading

Action Comics
Green Lantern
Justice League
Justice League of America
Justice League of America's Vibe
Wonder Woman
Sword of Sorcery

everything was actually pretty good, but JL and JLA were the best of the bunch, with JL having a slight edge and thus getting my vote.

but i want Flash and Green Lantern back in that book goddamnit

Had a decent pile of DC this week. Sword of Sorcery was my runaway favorite with the return to Nilaa; such a shame that's ending so prematurely. Since that's not a poll option, Wonder Woman got my vote as the runner-up, thanks to maintaining a high level of quality but not being quite as fun a read as SoS. Full list:

Sword of Sorcery #5
Wonder Woman #17
Red Hood and the Outlaws #17
Batman Beyond Unlimited #13
Action Comics #17
Young Justice #25

[El Sombrero]

I said this in the OP but I didn't include Sword of Sorcery or DCU Presents because I didn't have enough room to include every book, and since these books were already cancelled I thought it was the most objective way to eliminate two books. I like Sword of Sorcery a lot, certainly more than some of the books I included in the poll options.

Nothing wrong with liking Red Hood. It's turned out to be one of my favorite books of the entire nu52.

That being said, Batwoman was my fav title this week. If we're including other publishers both Fatale and Hellblazer were very good this week as well.

[Comet Man]

So many good books. I liked all of them a lot, but this is how I ranked 'em.

1. JLA
2. JUSTICE LEAGUE
3. VIBE
4. WONDER WOMAN
5. GL NEW GUARDIANS
6. GREEN LANTERN
7. GREEN LANTERN CORPS
8. ACTION

I liked them all so much, that 1 to 8 is very close with not much separation at all.

[chipsnopotatoes]

JLA - very interesting lineup and premise. I'm very pleased with John's Catwoman here. I tried JL17 but its not my cup of tea at all.

[Coyote2010]

I voted fan loyalty, but Action was it for me. Tops on reread list.

Still JLA and Wonder Woman were good, and WW still knocks me out at how smart, funny, and fun it has been.

I totally agree, I thought JLA would be a trainwreck but it was A Okay.

[JimmyOlsenMustDie]

Batwoman ftw. Finally rescued the kids and defeated Medusa. Great cliffhanger and I don't mean the proposal/identity reveal. Bittersweet because no JHW3 art for the next 7 issues.

LSH next. First Legion comic I've read since 1996 and it's awesome in its epic-ness. All I could think was "This s*** just got real." Love the notion of how over-reliance on technology could be a huge, exploitable risk. But Glorith isn't a villain anymore?

Then JSALF: The Whistling Skull. Really interested in what previous Skulls have been up to, and was quite surprised how William gained their memories.

Batman Beyond Unlimited rounds it out. Kind of a lackluster ending to 10,000 Clowns, although the new JLB arc holds promise, and I'm interested to see what happens with Superman too, although less so.
