Unless Mysterius does something amazing this issue, it just isn’t funny enough to keep getting regularly.

I wasn’t really happy with the way the first Project Superpowers ended and was totally underwhelmed by Black Terror. I didn’t read Death-Defying Devil, but Masquerade, however, has been pretty good. We’ll see how this issue grabs me.

As I said last week, I’m giving all the new Batman series a 2–3 issue trial run and pick the top few series to keep getting.  So far, I liked Batman was the best, with Batman and Robin being a close second. I doubt I’ll get more than the first arc of Red Robin unless something awesome happens.  SoG is by Dini and Nguyen who did some amazing work in Detective Comics leading up to “Final Crisis”.
