Supreme Power #11: The "main" plot is getting a little old, so the switch to another storyline at the end of the book is a bit of a relief. All told, there were three plotlines covered in this issue, and while they are all interesting enough, the whole book does seem to be moving forward at a glacially slow pace. 
Birds of Prey #69: Ok, spooky enough beginning *IF* you recognize the costume. If you don't, I'm sure it all becomes clear soon, but some of the impact would no doubt be lost. Anyway, it's a cruel thing Babs has done, sending Huntress to Oregon. After all, nobody lives in the northwest except crazy cultists! Besides which, Huntress just isn't dressed for our weather... mildly recommended.
DC Presents: Batman #1: I find that I want to read the original story, not just see the original cover (it was nice that the cover was included as the inside front cover). I like the "Bat Gulp" on the new cover, by the by. Two ok stories in this one, both with a very Silver Age feel to them. The second story plays up nicely to the "urban myth" aspect of Batman. Not bad, but nothing super special.
Still to Review: Usagi Yojimbo and Swamp Thing.
