    Today's Young Justice had a little cameo in it that made me chuckle.

    I see what you mean:

    It’s a yay from me.

    It was fun. In a weird way, it felt like a continuation of the old YJ comic. Superboy is the 'The Kid' again.

    Yay, so far.

    Also, Green Lantern #3 completely turned the series around, imo. How do you make Hal more interesting to read about? By making him even less of a character than he was before and have him be 100% cop. It's a solution so counter-intuitive that only Morrison could have thought of it. This was the most I've enjoyed a GL issue in a pretty long time.

    Martian Manhunter #2 was also good. J'Onn seems more like a real character and less like a sounding board for everyone else than he has in a long time. They also do a great job of fleshing out Mars culture in an interesting way, that simultaneously does a good job explaining why a shape-shifting culture happens to look so similar to humans. It even gives a surprising rationale for J'Onn's brow, that works well, now that they've retconned out the boring and stupid looking fin-head "original look" Martians used to have. I love John Ostrander and Tom Mandrake, but I never could get into their MM series back in the day. But this one, I like a lot. Steve Orlando is becoming a favorite for me, between this and Electric Warriors.

    Which is dumb. I hope once Bendis is gone they bring Jon back to the kid he once was.
    I'm a fan of Conner as well. We can have two superboys.

    They also got rid of Wally so they could bring in Bart. The way they're doing stuff now is silly.

    I like his current run; the "Button" crossover introduced me to the series, which, at the moment, I am finding interesting. Granted, the only other Flash run I've read was the first writer of the series during the New 52, and that was years after the story was originally told.

    Considering how both Tim Drake and Damian Wayne are calling themselves Robin at the moment, this doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me; if those two can have the same superhero name, why not Conner and Jon?

    It’s like DC doesn’t want to juggle more then one unless it’s Robin.

    This is ridiculous. I expected Bendis to screw up the Superman Family, and sadly he did not disappoint.
