H-E-R-O #11: A nice stand-alone story featuring the H-E-R-O device early on in DCU history. This one brought to mind the Powers story-arc with Neaderthals, only not as crude. The more I read of H-E-R-O, the more I hope Pfeifer stays on Aquaman awhile.
Superman/Batman Generations III #12: Finally, it's over. Whew. And what a horrible cop-out of an ending, too! This would have made a decent 4 issue mini-series. It might even have been ok expanded to 6 issues. But 12 issues was far too many, and the pay off was utterly worthless.
Fallen Angel #6: I'm still not sure what to make of this book. Every time I'm thinking I "get" it, the book veers off in another direction. It's meant to, but it makes it very hard for me to tell whether I'm reading the book because I like it or just because I'm really curious as to where it's headed next. 
Thor #68/570 to 72/574: I read these all in a swoop since my buddy is buying them with my help and they were stored in my house long enough for me to get curious. Not a bad storyline at all! Again, I like Elseworlds and what-ifs, and this is a "What if Thor ruled the world?" While there are a lot of characters in the Thor pantheon, this doesn't get confusing because each character that needs introduction gets one, and the actual active cast is kept fairly small. What drew me in was the cover to 71/573 which has Thor on a throne, eyes downcast and in shadow... with only one hand. Seemed like there was a story there, and I had to check it out. I was surprised to find a what if, but I'm enjoying it a lot.
Still to Review: Leave it to Chance, Shrek, and 1602. And from Dec 17th: Outsiders, Plastic Man Lost Annual, Wildguard, Way of the Rat, Batman Adventures, Superman: The Kansas Sighting, Cinnamon, and Green Arrow.
