I’m going to return to my old method of doing this. The table thing is nice, but not terribly readable. I think I’ll try something new this week. Once I think of something new. First, here’s the list from worst to best (I hope).

9. Nightwing #123

Ah, the typical spot for the former Boy Wonder, worst of the week. I was considering getting Deadman #1, then I noted the writer. I don’t think I can take two Bruce Jones comics in one week. Once a month is bad enough.

8. 52 Week Fifteen

I expect we’ll get random bits about Booster Gold, Adam Strange, Animal Man, Starfire, etc. I’m not excited.

7. The Boys #1

Against my better judgement, I’m going to try this. But the ultra-violent gore and retread storyline makes me wary. But it is likely to be better than the above two comics.

6. Checkmate #5

If this issue has the same dumb captions to remind me who the characters are and what chess piece they represent, then it will be the last issue I buy.

5. Nextwave #7

Another dose of cotton candy. I don’t even recall what happened last issue. I’m sure there was something funny in it, but this comic needs to go somewhere quickly. But as long as it isn’t a Civil War crossover, I’m happy.

4. Green Lantern Corps #3

Some more gritty space alien cop drama. I want to see their court system one of these days, though.

3. Shadowpact #4

I thought #3 was a letdown (Nightshade takes out everyone!), but I like the concept and the competition this week is pretty weak.

2. Robin #153

Oops. Almost missed one. Robin has been a reliably good comic since One Year Later. I expect that it’ll continue being an excellent read.

1. Manhunter #25

I enjoy the supporting cast of this comic more than the main character at times. That’s not a bad thing. I still need to hunt down back issues. But I feel pretty good in making this the last comic in the pile.
