the dc comics universe. hmmm....

I'll tell ya. Things have not been this exciting in the DCU (or comics in general) in a very long time. I can't wait for the next issue of just about anything! Not that I agree with the overall Marvelization of the DCU, but I guess we gotta give and take. (And don't get me started on the whole rift between Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman. What a contrived bunch of bull!)

That said -- they seem to be telling the same story over and over this past year:
How many alternate reality/time travel stories were there? Teen Titans did it. JSA did it. Superman/Batman did it.
How many "here's the where-fors and why-hows of this character"? The Return of Donna Troy. JSA Classified starring Power Girl. Golden Eagle in Hawkman.
How many returned-from-the-dead characters? Donna Troy. Jason Todd. Golden Eagle. Lilith.
How many big space wars? Adam Strange. Rann-Thanagar.
How many epic "we gotta keep the big powerful machine out of the hands of the bad guys" stories? Adam Strange (the Omega Beam). The Return of Donna Troy (Sun Eater machine).

Still, I'm enjoying almost all of it. I just hope that Infinite Crisis pays off. I'm afraid I'm getting myself too hyped up for it and will be let down.

I guess time will tell...
