Batman Battle for the Cowl 2:
Was a good issue overall, can't wait for the end, as it should be pretty badass. 8/10
Green Lantern 39: Continuing the adventure of Hal, the newly made Blue Lantern, we get to some more insight on how the Blue Corps are going to operate.
I was supprisingly underwhelmed the first time I read it, but upon a second read I caught a lot of things I didn't. It's not very action packed like I expected (in fact most of the action in the book is seen in the previews), but theres a lot of important story points. Oh, and Philip Tan might be my new favorite artist, the [blackout]last few pages with Larfleeze[/blackout] made him look like a real monster, and actually scary.

Solomon Grundy 2: This book is fun. It's not super deep, and it's not going to be something for everyone, but it's the kind of book I like. It's got Bizarro and Grundy fighting, and then later paling around. That's about all you need to know, go buy it and support lesser known author/artists, as the guy who wrote and drew the entire mini series, Scott Kolins, is relatively unknown. He's mostly done (after some wikiing) art corrections, and apparently did some work on the first 2 annihilation series as an artist. THREE GRUNDYS OUT OF FIVE.
Still got a good amount to read, but I know I won't go back and put those reviews up so whatever. And I know the first two are more "spoilers about the story" than reviews, but I dgaf. Some people want that, some people like reading a 4 page review on one book

Todd fights Nightwing/Damien and kinda kicks their asses. In-comes the help from Huntress and Black Canary, so Todd shoots Damien in the chest. Robin is lurking around looking for clues and stumbled upon Todd's self-made Batcave. Him and Jason get into a fight, and Jason gives him the opportunity to join him as his Robin, saying that Gotham has changed since Bruce died and that the mob/rogues don't care about Bat's anymore because all they'll end up with is a split lip or a broken arm and some jail/arkham time, and that he is actually making them FEAR Batman again, rather than just toying with him like they have in the past X years. He starts to beat the ever living hell out of Tim, until Tim grabs a crowbar and starts whooping on Jason. Or so it seems. Cue to the last page of the book where it's Tim in his Batman outfit with a giant batarang sticking out of his chest. But only half of it is, because the other half is embedded in his lungs/heart area. So Tim's probably dead, as a lot of rumblings have said he won't make it out of this alive.

According to Sayd, Hal was never meant to have a Blue ring, and was meant to act, essentially, as the Blue Corps battery. Something about him having enough willpower to fuel the entire Blue Lantern Corps. Also, the Blue rings cannot be taken off until they are drained of all their power, which the guardians try pretty hard to remove it by blasting him with a green beam. Oh, and Larfleeze shows up on a construct branded in Stel, after Stel chases a Sinestro Corps member into the Vega System. He basically says that he didn't care that the Guardians/GL's/Controllers invaded during the "spider wars" (the ****?) or when they ran a muck trying to catch Sinestro Corps members, but he was pissed that they ruined his feast (bwuh?) and now it's time for action. It's a pretty badass couple of pages, actually. And the 4th rule is announced, The Vega System is no longer a no-fly-zone, and it's time for the GLC to go to war.
