I bought it today and was pleasantly surprised. Who knew DiDio could actually write a comic?

Due to the weird credits on the book ("Story & Art by Keith Giffen & Dan Didio") I'm gonna throw it out there that maybe Giffen is doing more than just the art on this thing.

I think Jason's right. I'd bet dollar to donuts that Didio's "Executive Producing" this thing and Giffen's doing the heavy lifting. Either way, it was really good.

I didn't care much for Swamp Thing, awesome Yanick Paquette art notwithstanding. I mentioned it over in the DCU Relaunch thread, but I got really tired of Snyder copy/pasting his biology notes into Alec Holland's dialogue balloons. Like, if somebody talked like that in real life, you would be rolling your eyes at them every time they "um, actually"-ed you over mass bird deaths or wrapping your legs in cabbage or whatever.

But yeah, Animal Man was solid and I enjoyed Action Comics quite a bit. I wish Paquette was drawing it instead of Rags Morales, though. And like Matt said, why did Buddy's kid have that really, really weird mullet, though?

But dudes, Thunderbolts and Hulk were both excellent, as usual. Jeff Parker is one of the few guys writing comics at Marvel that doesn't leave his fingerprints all over every page he writes.

I also picked up Casanova: Avaritia #1 and I have no idea if it was any good or not. And I also can't decide if this is a good thing or not.

iZombie and Sweet Tooth were both good, although iZombie felt a little slight this issue, but man, Mike Allred can freakin' draw, son. And the watercolor-esque coloring in Sweet Tooth was amaaazing.
