Overdue! Overdue! This is not a library book but it's still overdue. Plus I bought a book that had been released a week prior, because I read an article about it. Let's deal with that first...
Starman/Congorilla 1 (of 1): This is a special one-shot tied into a storyline in the current Justice League of America series. In the current iteration of the JLA these two are members. I don't buy that book so I don't really know how it's tied in beyond what is explained in this book. Why did I buy it? Well, the article I read referred to this Starman character being gay, and the story in part deals with his not-too-healthy way of dealing with his grief over his lover's murder. And then another hero is brought back to life after being dead for a while. (I know, shocking!) And guess what? He's also gay. Can a "Justice League: Valentine's Day Special" be far behind?
Superman 707: On his Walk Across America trying to reconnect with the regular folks, Superman is in Des Moines, Iowa and still having doubts about what he's doing. If that isn't bad enough, the way he deals with a dispute between the workers and management at a chemical plant (after dealing with an explosion and fire there) makes Lois really mad. If he were going home that night he'd be sleeping on the couch, let me tell you.
Secret Six 29: This continues the story from Action Comics 896, the confrontation between Lex Luthor and Vandal Savage just before an explosion in the LexCorp building. While wrapping that up, it also provides a little backstory for Savage and his daughter Scandal. This is loopily narrated by Ragdoll, who thinks everyone was killed in the explosion.
Victorian Undead II - 3 (of 5): This entire book, except for the last couple of pages, consists of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, and then Holmes' brother Mycroft, comparing notes on Dracula with Professor Van Helsing and his associates. There's a lot of talk but not so much plot advancement.
