Three Marvel books for me this week - Nova, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Incredible Hercules. Plus the usual DC batch. 🙂

Picked up a few I’d missed before, this week.

**Supergirl** #41 - Rather interesting twist at the end, but since I don’t think they milked that whole set-up for all that it’s worth, I don’t believe what they showed us at face-value, either.

**Superman** #27 - Mon-El is one of my favorite characters from the LSH. “Lar Gand, Science Cop”… not so much. It is getting tiresome, having writers downplay or nerf the Kryptonian-level folks – if they can’t write an interesting story with the character as-is, they should be writing on another book. At least someone remembered that they’d cameo’d poor Telus a while back.

**JSA** #27 - Too soon to tell, but liked the start.

**GL** #38 - _finally_ got a copy, _long_ after the storyline has moved on.

**GL** #41 - Larfleeze is awesome, Hal _is_ a welsher, and the war of light is going to be ugly and fun.

Well, the fellow that cameoed Tellus, James Robinson, is writing the book.. so yeah. 😉

If you’re actually trusting a writer to remember to return to a throwaway plotline introduced entire crossover events ago… well, you’re more trusting than I, my friend.
