Personally, the only one I found worth my time was BL: Flash. Pity about Boomerang Jr. though.

I kinda liked the Wonder Woman one too.

I'm gonna miss Boomerang Jr.  He was one of the reasons I started reading Outsiders.  But since he's not with them and pretty much done for (though, in comics, it's a crap shoot), then I'm tempted to cancel my subscription.  The storyline is kinda meh and it's just not holding my interest anymore.

Well I finished Blackest Night after 3 days of Comic book binging. BOY have my dreams at night been interesting...

Also @ Quickie
[spoiler] The last Blackest Night issue showed it too with with William Hand. He was bound to his staff, had his ring, and had the look of a man drugged or controlled. (Not to mention the "Help me!" in his book of Black at the end there.)

Its really such a pity that theres no translations for what Indigos say. Im certain that just by learning stuff they said to each other during Blackest Night it would clear stuff up. ESPECIALLY if we knew what their Oath says. Maybe we should ask Atom. He WAS a deputy Indigo after all.[/spoiler]

...When Larry the reploid accountant goes maverick of his own accord, he's certainly formidable during tax season, but he isn't going to provide X the challenge needed to make him grow as a warrior and reach his potential.

[spoiler=Nok]That would depend if he was privy to such knowledge while deputized.  As a deputy, he was able to wield the ring, but were his emotions controlled by it?  He exhibited more autonomy than the rest of the Tribe.[/spoiler]

[spoiler= Nok Nok ]
He clearly understood it while he was deputized though, translating to Hal. And I think he spouted one or two lines in er.. 'Indigo-ian', as well as saying the oath I think. (or am I remembering things wrong..? o~O )[/spoiler]

A pity but not entirely unsurprising in today's comic market. A new title is extremely lucky to last twelve issues, though there are exceptions. (The latest volumes of Firestorm and Blue Beetle come to mind.)

Read the Annihilation series. It's one of the best things Marvel has put out recently.

To follow up on this, I'd also highly highly recommend Thor: The Mighty Avenger. Easily one of the best comics out right now.

A shame it might be getting canceled. Hopefully it can be saved.

Crap. I completely forgot I posted that request. Ha, ha.
Thanks PB. I'll be soon checking those out, never really liked Thor too much, but if you recommend it... I'll probably have a good time. : >

I still recommend that Darkwing Duck comic...

also, apparently a Chip & Dale Rescue Rangers one is coming out too!

EDIT: It is out, two issues, and it's pretty damn good too.

I like the fact that they're totally parodying the CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS storyline or whatever that was with this one. It's pretty cool too. ^.^

Seriously though, check out the Rescue Rangers comic. It seems like it starts out mid-arc, but you catch up pretty quickly.

But Quesada was kicked upstairs to a higher position. We'll still have to endure the sting from OMD/OMIT though.

Witchblade 138 was awesome it retells the basic story to the series in a fantasy storybook style. I liked it alot.

The new Spider-Girl comic is fun, I think people should check it out.

If you still haven't checked out the Darkwing Duck comic, here's some motivation.

Lady Gaga Darkwing. 'Nuff said.

As of Friday evening, Outsiders has been dropped and replaced with Darkwing Duck.  Also, the first volume of the classics has been added to my collection.

Oh yeah, wasn't the first TP out this week? I need to get that if I have any money left from buying MvC3.
