sdelmonteNot really feeling like going in depth. So not much in the way of spoilers. But still some.
Final Crisis: Revelations 1 - Greg Rucka returns to write of Crispus Allen, the Gotham cop he created and killed and who is now the host for the Spectre. With the Martian Manhunter dead, the Spectre seeks vengeance on the killers, and Cris hates it. But things are not what they seem. And how is Renee Montoya, Cris' former GCPD partner and the new Question, involved in the sotry? While this is not a perfect issue - it's a bit decompressed and I still can't say I love seeing Renee turned from a rather unique cop into just another kung-fu hero - it's very good, with great art by Philip Tan reminiscent of the work Tom Mandrake did on the Spectre in the 90s. Rucka still writes his former cops well. And like Rogues' Revenge, this ancillary title is a lot more readable than Final Crisis proper.
Batman 679 - The self-reinvented (and quite crazy) Batman goes after the Club of Villains, but it's all part of the bad guys' plans. Or it is? As usual, by now you know if you like what Morrison is doing here. I do, though I still think he isn't entirely in control of the tale. Unlike Fial Crisis, though, this remains engaging and gripping, and it really feels like Grant is doing something new and big.
Angel: After the Fall 11 - Angel vs. Gunn. As usual, this ia good comic, but I'm finding it a little hard to remember what's been going on. It's just a bit complicated now, and thus a bit weaker that its straightforward Sunnydale comic book cousin.
Booster Gold 11 - Chuck Dixon revisits a story he told years ago when he was writing Detective Comics, and Booster now has to keep the timeline in Gotham clear. Not an amazing comic, but Chuck does a pretty good job writing Booster and getting the tone of this book right. People tend to forget that he writes for Simpsons Comics and can be funny. (Insert obligatory "why did DC treat Chuck so badly" comment here.)
