52 #3 -- Probably my last issue of this. I'm not enjoying it at all.  There's something about the format of the series that's maddening, where every few pages, they jump forward another day.  I feel more like I'm getting small glimpes of a story rather than the whole story.

Green Lantern #11 -- Ivan Reis... the same artist two issues in a row. I hope they can keep him around awhile, at least for the entire storyline.

And the following, which I didn't see last week in my visit to the comic shop:

Superman: Strange Attractors TP-  My first time reading this issues, so I'm looking forward to it.

Also picked up(on a whim) Batman: Strange Apparitions TPB(from 1999), reprinting the Englehart/Simonson/Rogers issues of Detective comics.  Found it on the shelf and had to give it a new home, it had apparently been forgotten.

 Hawkgirl 52 by Walt Simonson and Howard Chaykin: great issue, one of my favorite books these days.

 New Excalibur 7 by Chris Claremont and Michael Ryan, dialogues by Chris Yost: Black Tom is himself again at long last :) Great Issue. One of the best so far for this good serie.

 Nextwave 5 by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen: not read yet.

 Thunderbolt 102 by Fabian Nicieza and Tom Grummet. not read yet and not on my list, but i liked the previous issue.

 Loveless tradepaperback by Brian Azzarello and Marcelo Frusin: not read yet

That depend of the reader. and of the issue.

Me i prefer(ed *sob*) Uncanny, but New Excalibur have a greater potential, Claremont will certainly have more creative freedom on New Excalibur that he had during his recent run on uncanny.

If you never read New Excalibur, give it a chance. This week's issue is a very good one. It's the second part of the two part arc with Black Tom Cassidy, who is writen in-character for the first time in yeeeeaaaars! And it explain too  that during the silly "child-murdering tree" story by Austen, he wasn't himself. It fix the problem that lot of people had with the character in recent years. Black Tom is human again, and there's a great scene betwen him and the Juggernaut. As a whole, this is a great Juggernaut issue too.

Boy, what's with all the homosexual subtexts?
Secret Six has 2 chicks kissing, Titans has some sort of weird gay-beastiality thing going on. Remember when this stuff was only implied?

Okay, I read Titans, and I have no idea what you are talking about.  The story seemed fine to me.  And as far as as I can remember I have seen couples kissing in comics.  

Just a reminder, because of the holiday, new books will not be out until Thursday, so "The Pull List" will be posted on Thursday of this week.

Ok, I see where you are going with that about the Brain and Monsiuer Mallah I guess.  It just didn't even occur to me at all.  I honestly thought you were referring to the one picture where Beast Boy changes to stop Ravager.  Then I thought you were stretching with the whole bestiality thing.  I suppose I can see your point, I just can't believe I was so clueless to that before.

As far as two women kissing. I have to disagree with you there.  I think you are reading a bit too much into it.  I see women kissing all the time, and I hardly believe they are doing it for my benefit.  (Though wouldn't it be nice if they were.)  It is still a reflection of life.  We can ignore it, and pretend it doesn't it exist just so a minority of people won't giggle like a butt head.  Or we can go on with the stories and ignore the minority of people that will be turned on.  I vote for good stories and ignoring the other people.
