Really liked how this revitalized Zod. His new backstory is utterly brutal and amazing and showing how cruel Zod could be. I'm really liking how he used to be close to Jor-El and Zor-El until events happened to separate them. This really makes me excited to see him in the New 52. It was somewhat confusing though and Zod never said "Kneel before Zod." .
Lobo-9/10
This issue REALLY impressed me by managing to make me like this new Lobo. This is the Lobo we know and love. He's obnoxious, he's an asshole, and he loves his job. His design though is pretty bad and needs some serious work. However I wasn't expecting to ever like Twilobo but now I do and I'm excited to see him again. Design needs work though.
Court of Owls-8.5/10
I'm a sucker for horror and this issue was full of it. From the creepy art to great writing I was really impressed with this. The issue seemed kind of filler-ish but it was a really good look at the Court's history.
Black Manta-8/10
I'm really liking how Black Manta's going in the New 52. After having awful origins for years he's finally got a good one. The beginning and ending of this are the best parts but the middle's alright. A bit filler-ish but I'm VERY excited for how Manta'll be in Forever Evil.
Solomon Grundy-8/10
This Grundy is scarier, more disturbing, and more powerful then ever while being the Grundy we know and love. That takes a lot of work to do and this issue impressed me by being able to do that. The art was really nice in this and I really liked how the writing was. It had problems though, like why was Grundy in a Meteorite? His new origin also kind of makes me miss him being known as Cyrus Gold and being a mobster.
Braniac-8/10
Braniac's gone through the New 52 mostly unchanged except for one major thing. He no longer goes to planets for info alone. This issue really showed how cruel Braniac is and I really liked that. This story is also making way for Braniac's apperance next month as an enemy of ol' Supes and that's VERY exciting. Really excited to see where he'll go. Problems here though were a somewhat confusing story and some eh changes but overall really great.
Riddler-7.5-8/10
When I first read this I was disappointed, but then I thought about it and I realized that Riddler being the same is a good thing compared to some other pieces of shit this week. Riddler's costume is exactly like how it was and his character is unchanged. The issue showed that Riddler's not simply a intellectual villain but can be physical as well. I loved how his can worked and how Riddler did all that just to
kill one guard for being an ass to him at Arkham.
Mr.Freeze-3.5/10
Where to start with this utter train wreck of an issue. This episode had utterly NO direction and went in 50 places and implied 50 things. The flashback scenes while tragic don't fit in with the new Freeze being a psychotic asshole.......however this issue switches between Nora never existing and being real. Not to mention Freeze going after his half-brother's family. An utter mess of an issue and makes me wish that DC would finally clear up how Freeze is being written.
Harley Quinn-1/10
Ugh this was by far the worst comic I've read in a while. Nothing went right in this issue. Not only was there no need to change Mad Love but this origin shown doesn't match up with Suicide Squad's better origin. Also a lot of this issue seemed to be based on sex appeal to a degree with Harley
stealing clothes to make her outfit
. What was worse though was
Harley knowing Joker never loved her. This makes a significant portion of Harley's character ruined and gone.
Not to mention what Harley does in this issue is
is unforgivable with her blowing up at least 50 bombs in Gotham and feeling no remorse what so ever.
Really disappointed in how Harley is in the New 52.
I was kinda interested in getting her issue but other issues were more important. I ALMOST bough Reverse Flash's issue but I put it back at the last second.

Do you think I could use Villain's month as a jump back on point?Of course I'll go and read Trinity War(and other necessities like Supes/Bats and Earth-2).

I found this Lobo hilarious. His design still sucks though.
How was he?
