Batwoman 01: Gorgeous art that makes one stretch a little to read the action. I find this a good thing as it really pushes the boundaries of comic art and makes you want to study it. I've always been curious about the new Batwoman and the Art Nouveau styled artwork is only the icing on the cake. Never kept up though, maybe I will with the reboot. Only question though is Renee Montoya dead like it seemed to imply?
New Avengers Annual 01: Uggg…crap on toast this sucked. I really wish Bendis wasn't so polarized a writer. He never seems to have a middle ground; it's either really good or really bad and this is one of the bad ones. The New Avengers, all of whom are veteran super heroes are taken down with little effort by C and D list super heroes turned semi-villians. Ben never lands on punch though I did find it amusing it took three separate people to bring him down. This will not be part of his Millicanon.
Fear Itself 06: Good art as Stuart Immonen always provides. Pacing feels a bit off, like the series started with this build up and now we're at the climax and it's only a curb and not the three story fall we expected. This is not good as next issue is supposed to the final. No mention or sight of Ben but Captain America shines.
Journey Into Mystery 627: This one was genius and really felt like something Gaiman might have written if he had the Marvel Universe to play in instead of the Endless and Vertigo. I really am liking kid Loki though he's not in this issue.
