Well, of course I need more comics!

buggerySo I'm considering adding yet more titles to my pull-box. (How many am I already reading? Er... don't ask. Even I don't actually want to know.)
If you're reading any of these, and have any thoughts about them one way or another, do please share.
CATWOMAN (#33)
I haven't been reading Selina's title, though I don't dislike hermuch and I enjoy Ed Brubaker's scripting as much as any sane person. The solicits for this month's, though, make me wonder how closely CATWOMAN is going to tie-in with the other Gotham titles for "War Games," and whether I should be reading it for the duration.
JUSTICE LEAGUE ELITE (maxiseries)
Okay, I don't read JLA, so I don't know the setup or background or whatever. The two characters joining the JLE who I already know, I like (Ollie and Wally, and I'm reading both their titles at the moment), and several of the ones I know barely anything about intrigue me already... but, well, being as it's a spinoff from JLA, I'm worried that JLE will be more of the bad crack.
THE LEGION (#35-38)
On the one hand, I adore Gail Simone. On the other hand, I wouldn't know the Legion from X-Force if I ran into them in broad daylight and they were wearing nametags. Is this storyling going to be accessible to me without massive back-issue supplementation?
THE MONOLITH (#6-8)
Bruce and Babs are guesting in this storyline, or at least the first issue of the arc, according to DC. Er... what's this title about?

Legion:
The Simone issues are really just fillers -- they're cancelling it straight after, then launching a new series by Mark Waid following the crossover.
And having read issue 36 today... um, no-one needs to read these. Ever.
Monolith:
Palmiotti and Gray are writing some of the best comics out there. Like I said, 21 Down was excellent, and they're making me put Hawkman (*Hawkman*, for god's sake) on my pull-list. So, yeah, while the concept does strike one as Chabonish, They make it their own.
