What the hell? This is a monster week! And it has only been two weeks since we got the last issue of some titles like Justice League of America and Batman. With whopping 16 titles headed to the Bunker this week, there is absolutely no way I can review all of them unless I post reviews much more condensed than my standard review.

Also, since Monday was Christmas, my local comic book store will not be getting this week’s new comic books until Thursday, December 28. I hate waiting that extra day for my new comic book fix.

All right, which DC comic book am I most looking forward to reading? Justice League of America #5. This title is white hot and certainly one of DC’s strongest titles currently on the market. Meltzer has been weaving an intriguing story and I can’t wait to learn more about the stunning revelation that the evil mastermind behind all these events is none other than Solomon Grundy.

Which DC comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That would be Batman #661. This Grotesk story arc is nothing more than your standard filler.

Which Marvel comic book am I most looking forward to reading? This is a tough one and it comes down to Astonishing X-Men #19, Daredevil #92, and Iron Fist #3. All three are great reads, but I’m going to have to go with Astonishing X-Men #19. Whedon has this title in a frenzy as we are reaching the conclusion of his stellar run on this title.

Which Marvel comic book am I least looking forward to reading? That is just too easy. Wolverine: Origins #9. Way has managed to work his magic like only he can and deliver us eight issues on this title and still not have actually advanced a single plotline. Incredible.
