so, superman/batman has never been very good, but it is entertaining, at least minimally. silly & off the wall, but sometimes that is okay. i guess this is another example of that, even though it has gotten a new writer since the last time i poked my head in to see how it was doing. this was basically a parade of silver age aliens that i've never heard of in various fights with supes & the bat. maybe somebody with real silver age chops would enjoy seeing ultra the multi-alien, but to me it is just a goofy throw-back. not that i'm hatin', i'm just saying i lack the context to appreciate it. anyhow, the moralizing is also predictable, but superman/batman has always been pretty lame in that regard. just a retread of the same old batman-doesn't-trust-anyone & superman-has-faith-in-mankind story. i wouldn't really pick it up unless "zook" & "titano" are enough of a selling point. though, okay, titano seems pretty cool. hey, remember that time black adam ripped off amazo's head? yeah, nothing to do with anything, just really liked that.

"What do you read, my lord?" "Words, words, words."
The fog of insomnia makings putting your thoughts in order hard. Makes it effort. So I've been sort of absent & silent here, I know. At least I've…
