What have been your highlights of Villains Month so far?
I'm a little behind with my reading becuase I've been away but from what I've read my favourites have been Lex Luthor, Riddler, Cyborg Superman, Relic and Count Vertigo.

Deadshot and Killer Frost were two brilliant surprises.
Lex Luthor, Grodd, Reverse Flash, Rogues, Cheetah, Relic, Scarecrow, Brainiac and Black Manta were great
although they were overall pretty good books Count Vertigo and Mr. Freeze were disappointing because I seen both endings coming a mile away.
Joker sucked

I've not read any of this weeks, but Arcane looks to be a standout, and I'm intrigued by Dial E.
Second week: I didn't really rate Black Manta much, but Court of Owls was a nice surprise. Reverse Flash was solid, and I liked Riddler's story but the art was flat.
First week: Grodd was awesome, I found that Relic didn't give us any new information if you've been reading New Guardians, and Creeper was dire. Count Vertigo was great though.

I agree with you Lemmerman, Creeper WAS dire. I also agree with drewhlmw about the Joker issue. Very poor.

To be fair, it was Dan DiDio's script and Ann Nocenti's dialogue, with 3 or 4 artists, so I should have known what I was getting into going in lol
He says, having bought Eclipso this week. I never learn.

So far my top 5 are Penguin, Lex Luthor, Two-Face, Rogues and Grodd. The worst 5 being Joker, Black Hand, Darkseid, Mr. Freeze and Brainiac

Rogues this week was excellent, really enjoyed that. Pleasantly surprised by how good Scarecrow was, and Ra's. Even Eclipso wasn't bad, much better than the last time DiDio and Philip Tan worked together.
Unfortunately, Dial E was a mess.
I've not read Arcane yet, but still have high hopes for that.

Dial E was really disappointing. Having loved Dial H it was such a shame.
Ooo Arcane was so good!
Eclipso was ok but didn't really do much to adress what happened after Sword of Sorcery. Confusing.
I read Black Adam this morning and really enjoyed it.

Yeah the Sinestro one was like "Yeah ok, I know all this." Completely pointless.

I started DC comics with the new 52 so Sinestro was new to me. don't forget that villain's month had to help us new readers out too.

I see what your saying drewhlmw, but even if you forget that Sinestro's origin has already been recapped when GL relaunched with the New 52, it should still have something for the fans who have been with it a long time. Something new. It was a comcplete waste of money for me.
