I figure I'll add my ratings as I works through these and edit this post as I go.
Action Comics #957 B+ I really enjoyed this
Seeing the post-crisis Superman and New 52 Lex together is a lot of fun. I thought the art was really good, reminded me of the late 80s-late 90s era that is my favorite Superman era. I'm also very interested in which Doomsday this ends up being.
Detective #934 B There are things I really liked about this book including the art and I thought the story was well told. Honestly I'm still not sold on the concept of the series but will wait and see.
The lessened role of Tim Drake or idea that he needs to be subordinate to Kate Kane really bothers me. Tim has always been the most like Bruce of all the Bat Family: the master detective, the stoic, the great tactician, the loner who chose to apprentice at feet of the greatest master. I just don't think the fiercely independent Tim I have come to know and love all the way from A Lonely Place of Dying through his own Robin book and on through today, who chose to submit to Bruce because of the respect would roll over to join Kate's boot camp so easily and willingly. An added panel or two where Bruce asks Tim as favor might make me more comfortable, but as told that didn't feel like Tim to me. Even thinking about Bruce and his affiliation with the Justice League over the years we never backs down even to Superman. None of the other Bat family members have ever felt like a true model of Bruce quite like Tim, I think Barbara at times is the closest. Overall I still enjoyed this book quite a bit and am interested in the story but I hope what makes Tim Drake what he is and very unique doesn't get lost in being just another junior member of Kate's team.

This is the first book of the Delilah Dirk series. The second book just came out, called Delilah Dirk and the King's Schilling.
This book is an all ages book with a female main character. The book has a like Indiana Jones vibe but set in the 1800's. The art and story is by Tony Cliff, and I think he is an amazing artist.
The Delilah Dirk series has been optioned by Disney to make at least the first book into a movie.
First Second is becoming one of my favorite publishers because of their all age book output. Check it out if you get a chance!

6/15 will be busy, at least by my standards:
Superman #1 -- these last couple have been good --
Green Arrow #1 -- really liking this new directions & probably will get on the pull list--
Batman #1 --always in on Batman, plus the variant looks sweet--
Justice League #51 --on fence, but I have the other #50 & tie-ins--
Lucifer #7 --very okay, but with #6 at 10,701 can't think even Vertigo can keep it going--
Civil War II: X-Men #1 --Colin Bunn hopefully writing a Magneto centric story--
Uncanny X-Men #8 --this could speed up a bit--
Ant-Man #9 --Nick Spencer at his best--

Very busy week for me...
Green Lanterns #1
Titans Rebirth
Justice League #51
im not getting the overwhelming positive reaction about the dc rebirth, only GLs had some kind of story to tell, even so ill probably check out batman and superman #1 if they have in store
(mild spoiler for rebirth titles)
nothing happened in superman/batman rebirth. Action, detective and wonderwoman were all same story, something someone everyone shrouded in stupid mystery that wont ever be resolved (or dragged out for years) if nu52 is anything to go by....
I hate fairyland #6
Lazarus #22 Finally a new lazarus!! soo good
Low #14 also awesome
AM spiderman #14
Civil War II #2
CWII: Xmen #1
Squadron Supreme #8 solicits claim
(that an atlantean character is on the way back somehow)
Star Wars #20
Scarlet #10
Uncanny Xmen #8
SpiderGwen #9
Also last numbers before dropping
AN inhumans
Unc Inhumans
Black widow
(I only read Spiderman comics and Im sticking to that story)
