    I have to be honest. I think the superhero gone bad bit is past its prime. Too bad because I'm a Waid fan.

    @Zyg: I would agree, but then I read the last issue, which was awesome beyond words.

    Secret Six, can't wait! Just such a fun series to read.

    Revelations was one of the worst of the Final Crisis tie-ins there was, though.
    Actually, the only good one I can think of is the one with the Flash rogues gallery.

    @DocSeuss: I thought it was probably the best tie-in. Revelations, Rogues, and Last Will and Testament were must reads for me....more so than the actual crisis, really.

    Oh, and I saw a poster at Midtown Comics promoting the final issue of Planetary due in October. All I can say is - THANK. YOU. LITTLE. BABY. JESUS.
    I've been waiting for that sucker for what feels like years (and what actually might be years...).

    Absolutely no comic book fan should pass up on Doom Patrol. Giffen and DeMatteis + a bunch of loser heroes = epic win
    And no mention for Chew #3? It's a pretty fantastic series so far.

    Wait, so is this new Armor Wars a retelling of the original? Or is it a spin off of Fraction's awesome Invincble Iron Man?

    It's good to see Irredeemable get its just due here. Between this and Incognito, it's been a good year for stories about super-villainy.

    It's a sad day for robotkind when a robot won't do what it's supposed to do!

    @Robotic Bilbo Bagins has no use for fleshy ones: The Killbots? A trifle! It was simply a matter of outsmarting them.
