Thank god. I’m finally getting a bit of a break this week. After last week that had 16 titles, this week is a much more manageable 9 titles.

All right, what DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Nightwing #125. I want to see if Marv Wolfman can rescue this title. Dick Grayson is a great character that deserves better than what DC has been doing with his title. Plus, Dan “Death count” Didio keeps yammering and promising that Dick Grayson is going to be a central player in this New Earth. Talk is cheap. It is time Didio backed up that promise.

Which DC comic am I least looking forward to reading? The Atom #4. This title is quickly about to join the new Flash and the new Aquaman as DC comic books that have gotten the axe.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Criminal #1. C’mon, it is Ed Brubaker! If he puts out a comic then I’m definitely going to give it a try.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That is easy. Since I have hated almost every single Civil War tie-in issue, I don’t have high hopes that I’m going to enjoy Fantastic Four #540.

I’ll try my best to start getting some reviews posted by Thursday.
