Batman #3: This issue literally ends with a bang! Snyder has created some cool stuff in this title, and I can’t wait to see what comes next. That whole 13th floor thing was CREEPY! I am still loving the bat-tech in this title. You don’t really get that in the other Bat titles that I’ve read (in fact, it’s almost as if we have at least four or five versions of Batman, which is not a good thing). I read a tweet from the artist that the physical likeness between Bruce and Lincoln is intentional, which is a complaint I believe I made on one of the LBR podcasts. I found it funny that he felt it necessary to make that announcement.

Birds of Prey #3: Stakes are raised big time in this issue, but before that, Canary takes the group to get the newest BoP recruit: Poison Ivy. Starling and Katana attack Ivy, to which Dinah exclaims, “Guys! C’mon! What the hell?” I got a chuckle out of that. Still good, still buying it.

Blue Beetle #3: I get that they wanted to tell the origin story for this character, but I want Jaime to actually do something besides argue with the scarab. Three more issues and I’m done.

Catwoman #3: You know what? Complain about the sexuality or the treatment of women already portrayed in this comic, but it’s still a pretty darned good read. Selina’s reaction to her fence’s murder (because of her, natch) is good angsty stuff, all drawn to great effect by March. I never thought I’d be reading a Catwoman comic every month, yet, here I am.

DCU Presents #3: So do not care about this Deadman story. This should have been two, maybe three issues tops and move on to the next story, but no, we have two more issues. I will be getting the next storyline featuring the Challengers of the Unknown, but after that, I think I’ll only get whatever characters interest me instead of getting the book monthly.

Justice League #3: Love love love this portrayal of Diana. She’s a fighter and loves it. It’s what I think an Amazon’s mindset would be. Interesting that Steve Trevor is her Pentagon liaison. Many great lines in this issue:

• Flash to Batman: “I thought you were a vampire or something.”
• Hal to Barry when Diana arrives on the scene: “Dibs.”
• Superman to Diana” You’re strong.” Diana (smiling slightly): “I know.”
• Aquaman to everyone: “So who’s in charge here? I vote me.”

And that two-page spread of Wonder Woman was lovely to look at. :D This is my favorite book of the DCnU.

LSH #3: Unless something really, really interesting happens in the next three issues, I’m done. (And that makes me sad.)

Nightwing #3: I usually don’t like it when writers throw in new people from the main character’s past, but I am liking this new redheaded, childhood friend of Dick’s. I imagine that the other redhead that Dick loves who shows up next issue will cause some problems for our favorite former sidekick. I’m also really digging the Barrows/Pansica pencils in this book.

Red Hood & the Outlaws #3: My last issue, but I still cannot get over the fact that Scott Lobdell is actually making me care about Jason Todd. WTF?! That cherished memory that Jason traded to accomplish his mission was just awesome. Out of character for Batman, perhaps, but for emotional impact, the scene was very cool.

Supergirl #3: Much like Blue Beetle and the LSH, something needs to change for me to continue with this title. I’m bored, and I shouldn’t be.

Wonder Woman #3: What is wrong with you, Internet? Why does this slight change to Diana’s origin make you bleed from your ears? I like this new twist–it makes perfect sense, and sets up a new adversary for Diana. However, to be Diana and have to listen to your mother tell you how you were conceived is kind of gross. The ending to the issue was perfect.
