Marvel's SILVER SURFER #5
This book is interesting, but to be honest there are so many comic books that I am collecting that are better that I'm thinking of ending my subscription to it. There just isn't enough going on to really hold my interest. This issue pitted the Surfer againt Doctor Strange's longtime enemy Nightmare. I like the idea of the Surfer having a human sidekick, but that is not enough to make me want to continue reading. It might be the art too. The art in this book just comes off as substandard for me.

Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY #18
This book, as an ORIGINAL SIN crossover, tells a story that took place in the past, but it also reveals the answer to a long-standing question for the Guardians...namely, how Peter Quill, Nova, and Drax The Destroyer survived their battle with Thanos in the Cancerverse. Wow, this book is freaking awesome. The action is good, the dialogue is solid, everything here works. And the art is excellent. On every level, I loved it. I can't wait to see the last half of the storyline in issue 19.

Marvel's THUNDERBOLTS #30
This book is pulled off-course by the bad pacing. The art isn't my favorite either, though it is not horrible. Without deadpool the dialogue isn't as good as it normally is. The only thing that saved it was the back story with Punisher and Elektra, which was interesting. Still, if this book doesn't change course back to where it was when I first started reading it, I'm dropping it.

DC's BATMAN '66 #14
This book needs funny dialogue to work. The dialogue in this issue was not as funny as it should've been, though it did have some good stuff here and there. I liked the exploration of the Batrobot and the discussion of the way technology can rob us of something vital if it removes our need to be self-reliant. The art is excellent as always. Overall, this book still worked, though not as well as past issues, because the dialogue was not funny enough.

DC's BATMAN BEYOND UNIVERSE #13
The Phantasm is back and her quest for vengeance pulls in Terry, as she goes after someone who is very important to him. This leads to Terry looking more into Bruce's past, particular his relationship with Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon. And wow, what a back story it. I just love this comic book, on every level except the art. Really, it isn't great.
