Best comic out last week. Why? Robot and Gorilla Secret Agents, that's why.
A formerly "What It?" only team of 1950's super heroes are dragged into the now by Jeff Parker and Leonard Kirk. And it is awesome. Unlike DC, Marvel doesn't often embrace it's pre-FF publishing history, so this is feels fresh and new. And it features this scene:

I'm listening to a Listen Again of 6Music's Roundtable while I write this. That new Scissor Sisters single is godawful. It just seems so terribly calculated. Thankfully they are playing Eagles of Death Metal now.

All New Atom #2
Man this was such an improvement. Especially in Bryne's artwork. I actually remember now why I used to love his art when I was eleven now. Shame he's due to leave before the series is over. He still needs a stronger inker in the Austin mould, but there's some great layout choices here.
Storywise, the opening digs at Marvel's Ant-man are great, the supporting cast continue to sure up, we get some neat action, mystery regarding the actual source of the new Atom's belt and what appears to be an old Swamp Thing foe. Certainly seems that a return to the DCU proper is surely due for Swampy soon. Has the question of him appearing in 52 been raised?

They're playing Captain now. This is even worse than Scissor Sisters.

Detective Comics #822
Despite worse art, this is a huge improvement on the last Dini issue. All due to one genius idea that needs to be developed somewhere down the line. That of the Riddler reformed and working as a consulting detective.

10p listing days on eBay this Wednesday and Thursday. I fully expect to go nuts and put a crazy amount of stuff on there.

Also, is it too much to ask that recruitment agencies have some kind of grasp of geography. When I apply for a job described as "Brighton,Eastbourne,East Sussex" I don't expect them to say it's in Redditch when they phone me up. And then say it's in East Sussex again in the confirmation email.
