My Week In Comics 4-21-10

My softball games were rained out today, so I figure there's no sense in letting this wait until after midnight tonight...or tomorrow...or Tuesday. Besides, since "The Amazing Race" is back tonight I'll have that to write about at 2 am or so.

Supergirl 52: We are tantalizingly close to "War of the Supermen" but before that, we have to get the whole Brainiac/New Krypton saga out of the way. So here, Supergirl and Brainiac 5 of the Legion of Super-Heroes make their way through Brainiac's ship to take out its core -- bickering all the way, because they have a history from when she traveled into the future; he remembers it, she doesn't, and it complicates things. Ah, romance.

Superman/Batman 71: As I mentioned before, I tend to be a completist, so I did end up buying this book for the conclusion of the current storyline. Other than a throwaway line that (in this story set in the recent past) refers to the coming "War of the Supermen," just an average story. Meh.

Simpsons Comics 165: The unlikely combination of Marge's painting, Homer's usual doofishness and Professor Frink's formula for romance may lead to the end of the Simpsons marriage in a tale titled "Love Potion Numbs Her Mind."
