H-E-R-O #10: Amazing. Someone actually manages to get exactly what they want out of the device. Ok, it's not exactly how he wanted it, but it happened. As for the reappearance of Robby Reed, I'm just going to say it makes me nervous and leave it at that. 
JSA #54: Another Rockwell tribute cover! This one is after "Freedom From Want" which Rockwell painted after Roosevelt's famous "Four Freedoms" speech. Ok, the original didn't have a little guy standing in the center of the table, but other than that it's a very good tribute. Notice that the hands match, even. Now, I'm dwelling on the cover, I know. That's because I really didn't like the story much. Oh, it was ok, but it kept teasing. For example, we never got a group shot that showed everyone sitting at the table. Every page felt like a build-up, but there was never any payoff. Normally I don't mind "day-in-the-life" tales, but this one annoyed me. 
Fallen Angel #5: Things don't work in Bete Noire like they do in other places. The city isn't a real place. And so I'm not entirely sure what Lee is, whether she's an iconic dream of Supergirl, or maybe even Supergirl herself. There are more hints in this issue, which is more what I'm interested in. Maybe that alternate plotline I thought I was seeing in the last issue will actually bring in more information that I want to know... who knows? This is one odd book. 
Still to review: Ruse, 1602, Aquaman, PS238, and Conan.
