Superman #700
The reunion of Lois and Clark was worth waiting a year to see. Seeing Bruce trying to be an effective father is highly amusing. Clark's walkabout makes no sense given his reunion his Lois.
Jokers Asylum: Harley Quinn
A Valentine's day edition! Harley is a loon, but an adorable loon. Lemon ganache, indeed.
Superman/Batman #73
For some unknown reason they haven't fixed Lois's gaping shirt (did they not get my memo?). However, strides are taken towards redeeming this as she makes like Buffy and uses the tree trunk as a weapon. Supes, Bats and Lois then try to apprehend the criminals in their own indomitable ways.
Gotham City Sirens #13
Selina's sister Maggie gets a whole lot more interesting, partly because her guardian angel looks like He-Man. Maggie as avenging nun also reminds me of Lee the Fallen Angel who used to be Linda Danvers Supergirl. I think the artists has been studying up.
Teen Titans #84
This could be a really interesting, fascinating, mythological and fantastical story. Instead it's inept and grating. As for the backup, I can take it or leave it - it adds nothing to the value of the comic.
Brightest Day #5
Aquaman gets topical! Arthur and Mera try to stop the oil leak, Deadman tries to resurrect Don Hall and the Hawks continue their foray into floating lumps of earth world. Hawkworld (aka floating lumps of earthworld) is a fantastical dimension and it's story is told well (unlike the Teen Titans story).
Red Robin #14
Tim is following in Batman's footsteps a little too closely. Damian shows some vulnerability and humanity. Tim and Dick prove they are inept at creating passwords.
You're doing better than me, Saranga! I'm so far behind now that it's pathetic. :-\
