Supreme Power #12: I've always liked stories arranged like this, with multiple concurrent tales, each with a scene on each page. This one is done particularly well, although the Doc Spectrum storyline is far more frightening in its implications than the others. One super-powered villain was bad enough. All in all, quite the story. Too bad about the wait until the next issue comes out. 
JSA: Strange Adventures #1: It started with a little bit of promise, then rapidly lost it as the story attempted too much at once. It could still be very good, but I'm not counting on it. I'm a little tired of JSA stories, to be honest. Neutral. 
H-E-R-O #19: What a depressing start. Heck, what a depressing end! This book is certainly going to go out with a bang, isn't it? 
Astro City Special: It's got a crossword in the back. That's pretty cool. The story isn't bad, either. Makes perfect sense from start to finish, and the beautiful art helps a lot. For an Astro City tale it's about average, which makes it slightly better than most superhero books. Old soldiers never die.
Still to review: Girl Genius, Batman Adventures, Birds of Prey, DC Presents Atom, Fallen Angel, and Demo.
