Quickfire Combo-Reviews: "Daredevil" #11 / "Supergirl" #1 / "Blue Beetle: Rebirth" #1

"Daredevil" #11: Soule, Garney and Milla do such an outstanding job with Daredevil right now, it's hard not to almost expect excellence from this series month after month by now. If you haven't started reading it, do it now!

9/10

"Supergirl" #1: It's everything you'd expect from it, which is not necessarily a good thing. Kara misses home, clashes with the D.E.O. and has a hard time integrating into her new environment. Solid, but too predicable.

6/10

"Blue Beetle: Rebirth" #1: What's going on? Why do Jaime and Ted have no chemistry whatsoever? Who are these villains? What do they want? Why could no one write a better comic? Who could possibly be interested in #1?

4/10

Some More Thoughts on the "DC Universe Rebirth"

It's good to see that the arrangement into chapters in "Rebirth" actually follows a logical division. While chapter 1 gave us an overview of its central lore, chapter 2 completely focuses on the vast amount of DC characters that are involved. 

From Johnny Thunder, The Atom, Blue Beetle to Aqualad and Doctor Fate, it's refreshing to see some second-tier characters taking central stage here, even though some of them would have needed further evaluation to fit into the bigger picture properly. But even this very methodical approach is able to create some memorable scenes and encounters, as readers will be excited to see what happens in chapter 3.
