Another pretty light week. Of course, if I stopped buying some of the series I seem to be complaining about regularly, every week would be a lot lighter...
Superman 702: The Superman Across America walking tour continues. This issue has him, according to the very first caption, "somewhere in Detroit..." -- so he walked from Philadelphia to Detroit and nothing of importance happened in between? Anyway, he gets to Detroit and, without giving away much of the plot, manages to get some long-closed factories reopened, help save a dying man's life, deal with some aliens (bonus: this plot features a couple of jabs at both the illegal immigrant issue and the finale of "Lost"), and help out a kid whose friends won't let him play basketball with them because he's not good enough. Oh, and there's a cameo by Metropolis Daily Planet reporter Clark Kent! Haven't seen him in forever!
Rawhide Kid: The Sensational Seven 3 (of 4): Our flamboyant hero and his group pick up the final member of the posse -- Billy the Kid, who doesn't exactly go along voluntarily -- and the Sensational Seven head to Mexico to rescue the Earp brothers from Cristo Pike. But Pike has seven counterparts to deal with them. Plus we have a flashback to the Rawhide Kid's childhood that, if it doesn't lead to a certain revelation in the final issue involving the old man in the cell with the Earp brothers...well, if it doesn't I'll eat my hat. (Disclaimer: no actual hat-eating will occur.)
