Only 3 new issues for me today, though I did get an ebay auction in with most of the Kirby Genesis line. I read the main mini and am still digesting it. I think I liked it but it was nowhere near as good as Project Superpowers. Man, I miss that line.
As for the new stuff, they were all DC... which was wierd. I've been pretty let down with this Zero Month stuff but these three changed my mind on that. I enjoyed every one of them.
Batwoman #0 - Man... Kate's training was all kinds of messed up! I am officially convinced that she could beat the crap out of any other 'protege' of Batman's. The issue serves as a pause in the ongoing narrative but done in a way that it fits in nicely between recent issues. Kate writing a letter to her father and we are reading it as we see her training. It was very emotional with exceptional art. I had to pause a few times to take in what I was reading. The part with young Kate in her room on the day of her mother and sister's funeral touched me a great deal. Between issue 12 and 0, I've decided to stick with this book for the forseeable future. It was on the bubble a few issues ago but it's solid again. Hopefully it'll sta that way.
Nightwing #0 - We get the origin of Dick Grayson, the Robin name, we see how his mind works and how he figured out that Bruce and Batman were the same, and a nice lead-in to what's coming next in the title. While not as good as Batwoman it was still a good origin story. I was also glad to see that the New 52 version of Dick Grayson never wore the Robin spankies and booties. His Robin suit was much cooler. I also really liked his relationship with Bruce and the early signs of their differences. The issue was really well done.
Justice League #0 - This was my favorite issue of JL since the beginning... and they aren't even in it. You have no idea how much I desparately wish Johns and Frank had a Shazam ongoing instead of this. This book the the book that's closest to being dropped but I just keep getting "one more" issue. Well, now here's one more and I loved it. I just dont know if I want to keep going for the JL portion. I can't keep buying a $4 title for 8 or so pages. Then again, I am very intrigued by the whole Pandora thing, which is playing out in this title.
I might be back next issue, I might not... I don't know. But I will say this... this issue was amazing.
I'll keep it short... Batwoman was by far the best of the week and Nightwing was the worst, though it was also very good.
