TV this week:

I'm still enjoying this show, and watching close for more fun moments.
- Arrow: "Restoration" - I'm finding Felicity to be the strength of this episode.

- Sep 9th
- Justice League United #13 - Well, I guess that last issue was it for Mera in the book. As for Vandal Savage, I wondered how the situation would play out after that flashback. Seems obvious now.
- Earth 2 Society #4 - I'm not really sure how Kara can blame Val for working on something he didn't understand while he was a prisoner kept away from almost every other person on the planet. Nor do I get why Batman in this book is such a complete jerk. More than usual.
- Arrow: Season 2.5 #12 - Final issue of this series... it was ok. Nothing super special. I don't mind the tv series, but the comic is even more superficial.
- Star Trek/Green Lantern #3 - Huh. Still not really my thing, but that final panel managed to get a little chill out of me anyway. The rebooted Star Trek universe is just too strange for me, I think. I don't recognize the characters by sight.
- Secret Wars 2099 #5 - I'm not even pretending to understand most of this. I just want the story to go back to what it was before. I'm not sure that's going to happen.
- Doctor Who 12th #11 - A pretty good done-in-one story featuring Clara at her most compassionate, helping somebody who ends up helping the Doctor. Not bad.
- Rebels #6 - Originally the final issue, Seth goes home to find his son grown up at six years old and doing fine without him. It's an interesting twist on the revolutionary war that I wouldn't have thought to examine. All told, a pretty good tale.
- Spongebob Comics #48 - All about Gary the Snail. Some fun stuff, but nothing too exciting. I liked the sea snail fact page.
