16, not 12.

I'm gonna buckle down and read it now and review. I will not be writing an expansive review this week just individual grades, a brief assessment of the book as a whole and an over all score.

Wednesday comics- This is not a comic with a narrative it might not even have one in 11 weeks instead it is just pages that start comics. Congrats DC you figured out how to take the incredibly boring first issue of an arc and compress them into one page, unfortunately that one page isn't very good.

Batman-F
Kamandi-C+(For amazing Sook art)
Superman-C(not bad but not great)
Deadman-B
Green Lantern-F(this is why the book fails.)
Metamorpho-B+(a page where things happen and actually lays out more than just background.)
Teen Titans-B (If it weren't for the art this would be an A)
Strange Adventures-A(Finally a page that actually conveys a full comic.)
SuperGirl-A(that was fucking cute)
Metal Men-F (boring)
Wonderwoman-F( that was unreadable like actually, I couldn't read a word of it.
SGT Rock-C+(great art no story)
Flash-A(The best of the bunch so far, it has action, a set up, a cliffhanger worth caring about.)
Catwoman-B(clever, very clever.)
Hawkman-D(The art was great but the story was wanking.)

As a format this doesn't work. This is not something I would continue reading, you're going to give me one page of a 12 page comic? Well you need to be moving a lot faster. The only story I didn't like that could grow into something decent is the Batman story but overall this comic is a complete waste.

2 even the good couldn't out way the bad and the format.

That intertwine and are by the same creative team... 15 is the correct answer. What is Starman Secret Files #1 two issues now. Is Captain America 600 four?

If they were more isolated, I might agree.

I counted them as 1 therefore they are 1.
