It's been a busy week my friends so no comic reviews because I just don't have that much time to review so many titles every single week they come out of the shelves. But here's a rundown of last week's titles that I have read and my own personal ratings / recommendations as to whether or not you should buy them (maybe I would do this more often than my more "elaborate" reviews just because I'm too lazy).
Wonder Woman #2 - 5 out of 5 Zeus Lightning Bolts. MUST BUY.
Batman # 2 - 5 out 5 Batbikes. MUST BUY.
Supergirl #2 - 4 out of 5 Karas. Buy.
Justice League #2 - 4.5 out of 5 Mother Boxes. Buy.
Catwoman #2 - 2.5 out of 5 Stolen Portraits. Read only.
Birds of Prey #2 - 3 out of 5 Katanas. Read only.
Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 - 3.5 out of 5 Red Helmets. Buy.
Nightwing #2 - 4 out of 5 Dick Grayson Jackets. Buy.
Batwoman #2 - 5 out of 5 Missing Children. MUST BUY.
Green Lantern #2 - 4 out of 5 GL Rings. Buy.
Batgirl #2 - 2.5 out of 5 Mirrors. Read only.
Punisher #4 - 5 out of 5 Vulture Claws. MUST BUY.
Fear Itself #7 - 2.5 out of 5 Asgardian Weapons. Read only.
Ultimate Comics X-Men #2 - 4 out of 5 Nimrods. Buy.
Ultimate Spider-Man #3 - 5 out of 5 Gankes. MUST BUY.
Superior #5 - 5 out of 5 Ormons. MUST BUY.

Currently reading Grant Morrison's comics history journal, part superhero genre analysis mixed with pop culture and divine allusions, part self-indulging, and part (boring) autobiography - Supergods: "What Masked Vigilantes, Miraculous Mutants and a Sun God from Smallville Can Teach Us About Being Human".
Though every comic book fanboy pretty much knows what he's going to say here in terms of comics history, Supergods still its a fun read, despite being frustratingly lengthy mainly because of some unnecessary personal stories featuring the occult, and some ill-researched factoids (e.g. Ultraman - which he describes as a "faceless-robot" was Japan's Superman clone).
Still, give it a try. Recommended for comic book newbies, GM haters and GM fanboys alike.
And I still can't get over the usage of the awesome 3 panel opening sequence (minus the desperate scientists part) from Morrison and Frank Quitley's classic All Star Superman as this book's cover.

Finally a shirt worthy of your money.
This is a damn cool shirt. More of these and other superhero memes on shirts from Mighty Fine.
