Notes:

There were problems last week. So there was nothing written here. Not that anyone cares, since I'm the only one who reads this page. Oh, well. Onward.

52 #42
Thank you, 52 team, for finally bringing back Ralph Dibney as a hero again. It was sublime to watch him win by using his brain again. And thank you for allowing Darick Robertson the opportunity to draw this chapter. He's one of only a few pencilers out there who always drew a stretching Ralph with lots of energy when he's stretching. There's only one penciler I would have preferred drawing this issue, but he died more than 10 years ago. Thanks, for this awesome issue.

The Helmet of Fate: Black Alice
So, what was this group of one shots for? The helmet really only played a major part in the first book and for these past three, it's just a hook to hang a story on. The helmet is pretty useless, isn't it? Well, maybe not to Detective Chimp, but it was to Ibis and Sargon and now Alice. At least next issue features Zauriel, hopefully that'll be cool.

Civil War #7
ARRRRRRRRGH!
But more on that later this week.
