So I wanted to review 4 comics that I have downloaded in the last two weeks - using Comixology, which I have found to be a great app on my iPhone.
Green Lantern Corps #0 - Good issue. I enjoy the set up of Guy both on Earth before he gets a ring and as a rookie Lantern. Unlike the #0 issues for Green Lantern and Green Lantern: New Guardians this was a true flashback to what Guy's history in the new 52 universe is. B+.
Batwoman #0 - I got this series for the 1st arc in the New 52 and liked it. The second arc with two different artists (Amy Reeder's great art only lasted one issue) and the non-linear style of story telling with jumping back and forth in weeks between different plots was confusing enough to make the cut list. However, this issue makes me want to give #13 a try. It feels so much that it could slip into the Detective Comics arc by Williams and Rucka (which was amazing). A+.
Birds of Prey #0 - Interesting. I like the set up of Canary's husband at the end and how Canary and Starling met, but Batgirl/Babs shouldn't be there if it was 1 year ago. However, if what the writer meant was a few months before the start of the New 52, then it could work. Anyways, besides that distraction, it was a decently good issue. However, Canary now being connected to Team 7 really doesn't allow BoP to go farther back than 5 years for an origin. B-.
Blue Beetle #0 - I haven't picked up Blue Beetle since the first issue and I really enjoyed this one. It gave us a history of the scarab and the Reach, their interactions with the Green Lanterns and an obvious upcoming subplot with the New 52 version of Lady Styx (who to me seemed to be a character with a lot of potential that was never used properly) B.
