I don't have a lot of time this week so this will be short until I can write more. Here's what I bought:

No spoilers this time, but I have an asinine new rating system. That should make up from the lack of effort right? Here's the scale from worst to best:

Fuck no!
No.
Meh.
Yeah.
Fuck yeah!

Get it? It should be self-explanatory.

Batman Annual #27: I don't care for Azrael in any form. Meh.

Batman and Robin #5: This is the best Batman comic you can buy right now. This book just keeps getting crazier. Fuck yeah!

Batman Confidential #34: This is the only Batman comic you can buy with Bruce Wayne as Batman. Meh.

Final Crisis Aftermath: Run #6 (of 6): Final issue of the best of four lackluster FC followups. The series started Yeah, finished Meh. I can't imagine reading this again.

Justice League: Cry For Justice #4 (of 7): Why did I start buying this? Nice art, though some of the poses are a little on the ridiculous side. The dialog isn't very engaging either. There's a lot characters I just don't care about. Meh.

Superman: The World of New Krypton #8 (of 12): I like Superman. I don't care much for Thanagarians. I was going to give this an apathetic meh. But, if I just picked this up as a random issue without having read issues 1-7, I would have been said Fuck no!

I also picked up the trades for Ultimates (1-6 and 7-13): Fuck yeah, indeed! Thanks for the recommendation, guys.

Oh. And I finally got a copy of Batman: The Black Casebook. It a bunch of reprints of stories between 1951 and 1964 that inspired Batman R.I.P. If you like that kind of thing, you'll probably like this. The first story includes this classic scene.
