Best and Worst for July

Yes, once again I decided to do my best and worst list for the Month of July. This month was a great month, lots of great stories and events going on, new titles starting up, etc etc. DC is really making headway in the world of comics!

My rankings are based on 3 components...
1) A well written story
2) Artwork
3) How well the story and the artwork serve one another.

And without anymore delay, here's the list...

15. Superman #690
This issue of Superman was really bad. No redeeming qualities except maybe the artwork.

14. Green Lantern Corps #38

I felt lost through most of this issue. And I wasn't sure why Kilowog was holding all of those rings in his hand on the cover.

13. Action Comics #879

It was just too darn quick. I think this issue could have bee great if only it had been a little longer.

12. Green Lantern #44

Good Issue, just wasn't outstanding. It had some good one liners in it, but overall, not the most satisfying issue I've read of the Green Lantern series.

11. Batman #688

Morrison is doing a much better job with Batman right now then Winnick is. I hope the story starts to develop a little more because what's going on right now isn't exciting me.

10. Justice League: A Cry For Justice #1

This issue is a lot of fun. However there isn't a lot of depth just because the story is just now getting started.

9. Superman: World Of New Krypton #5

The only gripe I have with this mini series is the fact that they ended the story arc and will start a new one. I thought a mini series was it's own story arc!

8. Justice Society Of America #29

Not groundbreaking, but a lot of fun. Definitely worth reading!

7. Justice League Of America #35

Finally, a break from McDuffie! Hopefully it's a permanent break!

6. Batman And Robin #2

Two thumbs up for Morrison! Batman has never been better! his mystery is becoming very intriguing, and then relationship between Dick and Damian is so tense!

5. Power Girl #3

Palmiotti should always write Power Girl! He's fantastic and Conner has such a great artistic style. This is a title could very well become one of DC's best in the near future!

4. Green Lantern #43

Wow was this issue twisted! I have a new found sympathy for William Hand. I still hate him, but this issue helps you to find why he is this way.

3. Blackest Night #1

Incredible! Zombie tales could never be better than this! This issue brings the death of two very well known heroes, and you'll never see it coming!

2. Wonder Woman #34

Gail Simone has officially become on of my favorite comic book writers. She gives you so much to read in one issue where every other writer gives you next to nothing. And Lopresti should always do the art for Wonder Woman!

And The Number One Issue For The Month Of July Is....

1. Supergirl #43
Yes, Supergirl gets the number one spot for this month! This story was all about developing Supergirl's character since, well, she does need to start growing up.

You learn more about Alura and why she has such a stern attitude towards everyone around. Given the circumstances she was put in, I think we can understand why she was distancing herself from her daughter, and from her emotions.

I had to read this issue three times to soak it all in. It deals with the issue of family love, understanding, patience, and selfishness. Supergirl #43 tops every issue that came out this month and is only closely followed by Wonder Woman #34 !
