There are softcover trade paperbacks of the first issues of New 52 Justice League and Wonder Woman offered this month, but I couldn't be bothered to cut and paste.
Wonder Woman
WONDER WOMAN #15This was a good month to remind me that I'll never get to write certain comics. Since the first Bush administration, my pet pitch for a Captain America relaunch has been to make him a freedom fighter in another dimension where being an American was a whole 'nother thang, and Rick Remender seems to be tapping that vein for his relaunch. Meanwhile, I've wanted to see the clash between the Greek pantheon and the Fourth World elaborated upon since John Byrne's hamfisted attempts, and now Kirby's properties are being revived under the Amazonian aegis. By extention, it stands to reason that I'll just unfavorably compare my pure wants for the executions with whatever other people pull together, and who needs that frustration? For instance, did the New 52 really need Superman, Captain Marvel, and Orion to all be white males again, while re-offering Cyborg and Vibe as their premier heroes of color? Would Captain Atom be in any way diminished as a woman, or using the Post-Crisis template of a parent separated from their children by decades, would it actually have made the property much stronger and more relevant to modern audiences? Meet the new business, same as the old business.

JUSTICE LEAGUE #15I grew out of Jim Lee a long time ago, and very much prefer Ivan Reis, but not so much as to tolerate Geoff Johns' threadbare writing. It is nice to see Aquaman get so much TLC and Ocean Master treated as a world class threat (just as Cheetah seems inclined toward in the Tony Daniel two-parter,) but I can't overcome my not giving a crap. How many variant covers does a book need to hit #1, anyway?

AQUAMAN #15No one will ever replace Ivan Reis on this book, but I do like Barrows, and kind of wish I'd given his Nightwing a chance. Syaf is a more specialized taste, and not really what I had in mind for Aquaman, though he can probably woo fans.
