...but Power Girl at least retains some of her badass points for doing something long overdue. I'm actually tempted to buy Worlds' Finest now.
Also, if Barry Allen isn't already damned for Flashpoint he is now. ):(

The next wave of DC books
Congrats to those that have their favorite characters in new books or have titles their interested in. I just have no desire to get any of these books.
EDIT: Are two of them mini series or are they all ongoing?

A weird thought that occurred to me
...That Geoff Johns might use Booster in his new Justice League series since the JLI annual kind of hinted it. If so I'm not sure I'd get it. As much as I loved his run on Booster Gold the annual seriously killed my excitement for Johns writing the character. I mean it's one thing to reboot a character. I would have expected it in the relaunch. But they didn't, in the last issue of the BG series it kind of hints that his time as a Time Master was still in canon. Jurgens took him one direction and Johns ignored the entire JLI run and took away all the character development Booster got. That irks me greatly. I feel like if I read Johns taking on the character again it'd be more of the same. I mean what was the point?
That's kind of why I've been focusing on the bat family lately. As much as I love Booster and the Time Masters I just feel so annoyed when I think of them because I'm reminded of that annual.

Worlds' Finest # 6
Some books I feel like I have to get despite knowing it's not to my taste. I didn't really like Batman and Robin outside the zero issue but I got those issues because I love the Robins. I'm thinking of getting Batman Inc. #4 just because I'm morbidly curious. I'm on the fence about this book since I wasn't enjoying it beyond the flashbacks.
Spoiler thoughts on the preview under the cut

I guess tie ins are addictive?
I remember there was some complaints about Batgirl #13 barely having anything to do with the DOTF tie in but being advertised as such complete with the die cut cover. RHATO #13 wasn't solicited as a tie in although it had about a page and a half teaser. Just the idea of the evil Joker could do in those panels caused a mini uproar in the fandom. But now we find out that those same pages caused this issue to sell out and warrant a second printing. Huh.
Starfire Friend or Lover? Part 2 Kori and Roy
For me the problem with the first issue wasn't Starfires' sex appeal it was the odd status of her memories. What she recalls isn't clear and to many it looked like the guys were taking advantage of her. While this plot hasn't been fully explored there were tidbits and in order to explain how she hooks up with Roy I think I need to go over this first.

All Saints Day reading
Yep there are even books that take place the day after Halloween. Well one that I know of for sure.
X-Man All Saints Day: This might not be a book to read if the X-Men history--or more specifically the Summers family--give you a headache. It stars Nate Grey, who's basically an alternate universe teenaged version of Cable. Nate was built as a weapon but he wasn't built to last. He's dying from his powers and not really sure what to do about it. On Halloween night he meets a kid that he can sense is dying too. Not long after he decides to follow up on some rumors of a doctor that preforms miracles. I suppose it's a little cliché when he arrives at what's basically a set up for a horror flick with superpowers. But there's some pretty tragic twists and at the end Nate has to decide how far he's willing to go to save the kid and his own life or if they should just accept their fate. Not ground breaking but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
