goobergunchThe Amazing Spider-Man #923: So Peter has the Octopus arms now (and weird memories that I assume are going to be Superior-related, somehow) while Doc Ock is trying to revert Norman Osborn to the Green Goblin. Okay then.
Knight Terrors: Green Lantern #1 ("Doorway to Death!"): Hal has a series of nightmares, finally culminating in the fear-bug version of Parallax. Meh. I was way more interested in the ongoing plot this disrupted.
Knight Terrors: Robin #1: I picked this up for Tim, who's partnered with Jason here. This worked a bit better for me because there's some actual character interactions here, both between Tim and Jason and between each Robin and their tormentor—it's not just a constant parade of ~spooky~ nightmares.
Knight Terrors: Shazam! #1 ("Night Magic"): Mary Marvel's nightmares are mostly about Billy going evil. (Actual Billy is presumably not in this issue.) I'm finding all the nightmare sequences extremely tedious—it'll probably read a bit better in individual titles and not as a week's pull at a time—but I did appreciate some of the non-nightmare dreamlike imagery, like the taxi where one can soak one's feet.
