Green Lantern #37 - Shit just got real. This issue is such a nice reminder that this is probably the best comic book series DC puts out on a monthly basis. Plus two issues of Green Lantern out in the same month? Someone pinch me!
Air #6 - Hyperprax airships? I'm sooo there! This series continues to be imaginative and a breath of fresh 'air' in an industry of mainly capes. Seriously; Air is the next big thing at Vertigo. Get on board now before you regret it!
Conan The Cimmerian #7 - Corben's art is gorgeous as always, and really you get two great stories for the price of one. With both Conan and Northlanders, my savages/barbarian quota has been happily filled.
Battlefields: The Night Witches #3 - Good ol' Garth Ennis at the top of his game. You may hate him for the off-the-wall explicit stuff, but ya got to give him credit for being a master at the war comics. And if confronted by a Russian gal in real life, I'd totally get my ass kicked (and sorta get turned-on by it).
Doctor Doom & The Masters of Evil #1 - I mainly picked this up for the Sinister Six banter, and it was very enjoyable! Especially since Mysterio (my favorite of the six) was featured prominently. Reminded me of the same fun Secret Six and The Rogues banter.
Mighty Avengers #21 - I think I feel like Slott tries too hard sometimes to make a huge impact in the Marvel Universe like Bendis does. Take this issue for instance; WHERE THE FUCK DID SHE COME FROM AND WHY NOW?!
Dark Avengers #1 - It'll be fun until the eventual battle with the New Avengers (which will probably consist of an 8-issue crossover between titles). Afterwards, it'll be just another Thunderbolts title.
Final Crisis: Superman Beyond #2 - *yawns* I'm sorry, did I miss anything? No? Okay. Glad I didn't waste my time.
What did you think was good and why?

Spider-Man: Noir #2:
Hine continues to knock out another superbly well paced and thought-provoking issue of his noir take on Spider-Man. This is Spider-Man like you've never seen it before. When I say this series is raw and gritty.. what else do I need to say to back this up other than Ben Urich does heroin.. yeah, and more on top of that makes it even more dark and realistic. This is a great serious, very emotional, raw and dark.
Great art as well.
Uncanny X-Men Annual #2:
A solid issue by Matt Fraction, letting us know how Emma Frost fits into Dark Reign and how she manipulated some of the big hitters in the world of villains to give her power. She's got the X-Men high up into a world they don't yet even know they're part of.
Good fights between Namor and Sebastian Shaw. A good plot, a little hard to follow at times.
Dark Avengers #1:
A decent enough issue. Osborn sets up his new team, and it's blindingly obvious in the future that the New Avengers and the Dark Avengers are going to have a major clash.
Written well, the artwork wasn't brilliant, but it was bearable.
Cool line up of characters in his new team.
It just wasn't everything I was expecting it to be.
Green Lantern #37
A good issue here yet again by Geoff Johns, keeping this story very exciting. The only thing which I didn't like about this issue was that it moved at an incredibly fast pace, I still can't decide whether everything happened to quickly.
Still, my worries about the pacing of the issue aside.. it was what happened that was totally awesome!
If you've read it, you'll know what I mean when I say "HOLY COW!!"
The last page was cool.. but I don't think it will stay around for very long.
