Metal Men #5

This comic has been alot of fun so far, and this issue was no exception. There's about 4 different storylines running at the same time from different 

time-frames, so it can be a little bewildering to those not accustomed to that. My favorite story right now involves Gold and Lead having switched properties (and elements, it seems) in the middle of a mission, causing confusion for the rest of the team. Additionally, the appearance of Doc Magus' time-traveling brother (as well as a revelation concerning a distant relative) add many interesting elements to this book.

Midnighter #15

The main character of your book is Midnighter, badass of the Wildstorm universe. He probably figure out a way to kill you 5 times before you make your first move. He's being held captive by an organization called "Anthem" that "protects" and sorta rules a small town that Midnighter may originally be from. How do you end this story arc? Midnighter takes down or kills every single team they throw at them.. until they're forced to call his own team in to do negotiations. This was Keith Giffen's first story arc, so I'm looking forward to what else he has in mind for this comic.

Still waiting on Northlanders #2. But, since new comics are tomorrow, I may lump it with them. Also upcoming is Queen & Country Definitive Edition vol. 1, once I finish it.
