The Deep Dish...
- MAY080176 CATWOMAN #81 $2.99
With a trio of spotlights cast on the reflective vinyl of Catwoman's costumed butt and crotch, this issue's controversial not only for the content of it's cover, but also because it's the second to last issue of this incarnation of the Catwoman on-going.
As rumors resume for casting for Selina Kyle in a hypothetical third Bat-flick to potentially feature Angelina Jolie, Catwoman gears up for the post-RIP crossover that will see several characters in the hunt for the Bat-mantle! That's right! Dead, or alive, Bruce Wayne is stepping aside for a brand new Batman!

- MAY080200 JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA ANNUAL #1 $3.99
Gog has arrived to make the Justice Society feel better, but his well meaning favours may prove to be a nightmare for the reality-defying heroine, Powergirl!
Thrust back to her home universe of Earth-2, Peegee finds herself confronted with a world that has changed considerably in her absence, birthing a brand new counter-character to our adopted supergal! Geoff Johns can do no wrong!

- MAY082313 MS MARVEL #29 SI $2.99
I'm pretty tolerant, but the ugly, over rendered plastic looking CG colours might be the straw to break my camel's back! As Ms. Marvel seems to lose some of the steam gained circa-Civil War, I'm going to do something radical, and call for a cover artist, to bring life to the outer dressing of this sleeper book. This was such a great concept cover (featuring a soldier-garbed Carol Danvers with trademark Marvel badges) let down by Horn's work.

- MAY080152 REIGN IN HELL #1 (OF 8) (RES) $3.50
Not sure I'm sold on the content, but the notion of a series detaling the struggles of a power vaccuum in DC's Hell seems like a great premise for a story!
Building on plotlines in 52 that saw Neron trapped by Ralph Dibny in the tower of Fate; the battle for supremacy kicks off with Lord Satanus declaring his intention, but if you're looking for a little more bang for your buck, look no further than the continued tradition of the back-up story! Dr. Occult receives messages before the war in Hell! Ooo, Dr. Occult!

- MAY080158 TEEN TITANS #61 $2.99
With rare exception, I've never been a fan of the Teen Titans, but the addition of Blue Beetle has strange effects on my perception. Suddenly the balance of these franchises starts to resemble something potentially appealing. I'm not sure a Kid Devil/Blue Beetle buddy-caper is the answer to my teen-hating prejudice, but at least they've reloaded with new ammo!

- MAY082322 TRUE BELIEVERS #1 (OF 5) $2.99
I am personally offended by every Marvel comic published that centres around a fight club concept, just because I'm that arrogant. Not arrogant enough to resist temptation of a book tempting a coolness not often seen at Marvel, but still enough to be miffed. I mean, you didn't think the Infinite Wars was about fun, did you? Everyone's got an angle!
