Catwoman: The early days of this book, when the art matched the writing's tone, were Brilliant. The book does suffer from the new artist, but, man... Brubaker is so good it's worth it. It's a great book, and I say that as one who was truly not a fan of the character, before.
JLE: Is okay. Story's a little incoherent at times, but the art's cracking and the story's fun. Sort of "The Authority"-lite.
The Legion: I adore Gail Simone, too, but issue 35 was *incredibly* hard to follow -- and I *am* a Legion fan. (The Legion is a pretty good book, btw, and they've been doing some stuff with Superboy leading up to the TT/Legion crossover in a few months.)
The Monolith: Is one of my favourite new series. Written by Palmitti and Gray, who wrote the *fantastic* 21 Down and who are actually turning Hawkman into a really great read. It's... hard to describe. The review here is a good introduction.
