* Superman/Batman 2: Supergirl is quite good, like its predecessor -- though it is not quite as good, faltering in parts, particularly at the end, which is an embarassing "Supergirl, meet X" sequence. (I'm told Superman/Batman just keeps getting worse from here.) Still, a story that brings back one of the best characters in the DC Universe is basically a can't-miss proposition.

* Angel: Old Friends #1 purports to continue the TV series, but it does so only just. It's rather unclear exactly how bound to this storyline Joss will feel if he ever does get around to continuing the Buffyverse story, which is looking increasingly unlikely. Still, it's sort of fun to see what the characters might have done if indeed they did survive the alleyway.

Sort of.

In other news, I can't believe that in two days I have to start reading real books again.
