Honestly in the two issues they were in I liked them. Like a not poo poo Joker and Harley who actually love each other.

I'm pretty sure they're still alive though.

King was just keeping Punch and Jewlee the same from the Ostrander Suicide Squad run, and I got the feeling that them being on Batman's team was a callback to that.

They were a very loving couple known to have sex at inopportune moments in the Suicide Squad as well.

It is what I'm hoping. They are enjoyable C-List characters and fun when they pop up.

Just caught up on detective, Superman, Teen Titans, and hal Jordan and the green lantern corps. Man all of these books are so good. It is hard to say if green lantern corps or Superman is better. starro, brainiac 2.0, Kyle, and rot lop fan all appeared in Green Lantern corps.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Spoiler about the Superman Annual.

It's loving amazing go read it.

Batman Annual, not so much, the King Story and Snyder story are good, the Dini story.... happened it's not 'bad' but it's a bit weird and it just gets progressively worse.

I actually liked Dini's part in the Batman Annual the best. Really impressed by Neil Adams' art. Especially since it says he inked and coloured it himself. I can barely believe the colouring part is true.

The only story I didn't really care for was "Digging up Demons" and the Catwoman one. There's nothing really groundbreaking, but it's pretty good.

Whenever a month has five wednesdays (like today) it is known as a "Fifth Week" and usually there are only minimal releases on those weeks.

The art in the Superman Annual was rad but I thought the story was a little weak. I always like seeing Swamp Thing interacting with other heroes though :unsmith:

Really? I thought the ending was one of the stronger bits. It made perfect sense thematically and storyline-wise.

I read through Planetary mostly after it was done so maybe that colors my opinion but I liked the ending a lot.
