Empire #2: There is still no character in this series that I identify with (or even like), and the narrative in this issue is a little more scattered, too. The main cast is a little too large, and it seems like some of the plotlines are leading nowhere. I have some confidence that they will be tied up, but I'm not liking this book as much as I want to. 
JLA #85: This one is far more straightforward than the majority of Joe Kelly's JLA stories, but it's also got characters acting out of character...which makes it annoying. Mind control stories tend to be annoying. I do like the appearance of the guest villain, though. Overall, not too bad. 
Green Lantern #168: Still far too cosmic for my tastes, and the bits on Earth seem like filler because Kyle is no where to be seen. It just seems a wee... boring.
Superman: Red Son #3: I think, taken all together, this series is a tale of ultimate failure. Luckily, the last issue can also stand alone if you know a bit of the Superman mythos. I can't really go on without shedding spoilers, but it did turn out to be a very interesting twist on the Superman mythos that I did not expect at all. Yeah, a this is a good one. 
Nex--- This week: Silken Ghost, Detective, Superman Birthright, Formerly Known As The Justice League, Wonder Woman The Blue Amazon, and JLA/Avengers. Small week when compared to September 10th's dozen books. And hopefully I'll have the Scary Godmother DVD to review by next week, too. And, hey, Aqualad is due to appear on the Teen Titans show on September 13th. Am I rambling? I'm rambling, I'll shut up now.
