DC Universe Online: Legends #11- One of the things I enjoyed most about this series was how the series bounced back and forth between present day and the apocalyptic Brainiac-controlled future. However for a number of issues now, writers Marv Wolfman and Tony Bedard had decided to focus strictly on the present day aspect of the conflict. This issue showed the downside of the decision. Although Lex Luthor has his time in the sun this issue, he really didn’t do anything special here. He formed his own super-powered team…so what? With his money, Lex had formed dozens of superteams over the years, what’s another one? The closing scene of this issue was much better, showing off the plans that would be put in motion, but this issue was a waste.
Secret Six #35– With next issue being the finale, writer Gail Simone seem to be setting up a big tragic finish for the Six. Bane decided to get back his fighting spirit by attacking Batman’s extended family. Most of the time, this plot would be insane but Simone could get away with it because the Secret Six has always been that kind of crazy book! In typical Gail Simone fashion, this issue was full of great witty moments and showed once again why the upcoming DC revamp is a travesty. Hopefully some of the new series will get cancel quickly and the Secret Six will be back soon.
X-23 #12- The introduction of Jubilee continued to be a pleasant surprise by writer Marjorie Liu. With Jubilee struggling with her vampirism, it made sense that these 2 outcasts bonded with each other. However there was a lot wrong with this issue. The confusing subway fight just didn’t work and I found the scenes between Wolverine and Gambit to be boring. Considering its Wolverine and Gambit; that’s not easy.
