I was going to do a "how to improve titles I love" thing for this one but to be honest I don't feel like it. I want to do something more upbeat especially since I don't like Tynions' run. So instead I'll be focusing on the scenes I loved from Scott Lobdells' run. Things that said something about the characters and added something special.

I got the last trade so here's some of my thoughts on the ending of this sadly short lived series.

Abandon all Hope teaser
Shown here. I'm thrilled that Amethyst will be returning and I hope they remember how rightfully pissed off she was at Constantine. Etrigan shows up and maybe we'll finally hear how the love triangle with Xanadu turned out. I will never be cool with the Question being linked to magic.

Weekly Comic List
I'll be getting these in the mail so no reviews on them this week.
Serenity Leaves on the Wind #1: Picking up where the movie left off the crew are on the run and have to deal with the changes in their lives. I'm looking forward to this one and hope it lives up to my expectations. The name sounds like it's a mini series but I haven't really looked into it yet to make sure. If not I might finally have another ongoing title to follow.
Batman/Superman Annual #1: I have no idea if I'll like this but you know what? It has Barbara and Jason meeting/fighting (?) Steel and Supergirl while Bruce and Clark deal with their feelings over Damian and Kon. That sounds good. I don't think Tim and Dick will show up given what's happened to them but I've been excited about this ever since I heard about it. Even though I have no idea if the writer has a bias against Jason or if "For the Man that has Everything" is canon anymore I'm psyched. Because it's a different writer handling Jason and I need a change of pace.

Short Reviews: Forever Evil #4 and Scribblenauts #1
Forever Evil #5 is apparently delayed until next month so I'll just do a sum up of last issue since I didn't talk about it. No real spoilers for either book.
Forever Evil #4: There's not much to say about this one but this is far better than the previous issues. Things actually happen and potential betrayals are being set up. But the team that's supposed to save the day still isn't fully formed yet. If nothing else this book could do with a much faster pace because the slowness is the biggest downfall.
Scribblenauts Unmasked A Crisis of Imagination #1: I think this is a ongoing at present but I'm not 100% sure. This is based on the video game I've talked about which requires you to be creative. Taking place after said game it contains a few spoilers but regardless it's something I think would be easy for anyone to get into. The characters are explained, the art is cute and it even has some comic based humor in the mix. It addressed one of the concerns I had for a certain character acting as one of the bad guys by hinting that something else is going on. If there's one flaw it had (besides not using certain characters ahem) it was that most of the heroes the stars Maxwell and Lily encounter don't really do anything but act as part of the background. Not a bad read but I'm not sure if I'll keep with it. If nothing else I'll at least check out the next issue so I have something good to read for the week.
As for Red Hood and the Outlaws it's become a chore to read it so I'll get to it at some point.
