Justice League Cry for Justice /3
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Red Robin /4
Another split time issue.  Dick turns up to confront Tim and Tim gets in the with the League of Assassins.  They bail him out of a potentially bad situation and he looks oh so damn cute.
Tim pulls a kung fu move on Dick that I found particularly enjoyable - maybe I've been reading Kalinara's blog too long - and Tim finds a clue to where Bruce has gone.  I liked that scene a lot.

Overall this gets a thumbs up.

Blackest Night Batman /2
This is a stonking comic book cover:



They are practcially foaming at the mouth.  And it's chanelling the spirit of Ash in the Evil Dead movies.
Inside, the Bat guys use flame throwers on the revenants.  Could you ask for anything more?

Oh, you could?  Well how about Damian being a brat and Dick putting him in line, some bonding time betwen Babs and her dad whilst dodging revenants,  Babs kicking dead arse (while posessed by Deadman), and Tim turning up in a big plane to save the other 2.  Oh and magentic signature harnesses. And dead parents coming back to torture our beloved heroes.

Made of absolute win.


Blackest Night: Green Lantern Corps /40
Not as good as the rest of the issues so far, but not bad nonetheless.  Arisia and her dad worked well after her adventures in Tales of the Corps.  I do like how the black rings see the other emotions as colour in the folks they are about to kiill.  Kyle and Jade get dirty and the Star Sapphires show compassion to a yellow lantern.  Guy fights off a teeny tiny fly black lantern then gets his leg skewered by a horned dude.
