    Here's what I read: trigon joker mr freeze darkseid cyborg superman court of owls reverse flash grodd and ill probly get sinestro. But out of those the only one I liked waqs reverse flash. The rest were only 3 out of 5 at best. I was really excited and was pumped for the 3d covers but ended up really let down

    I am really disappointed because with every issue I have the feel that I am reading the same story as before but with different characters.

    Besides the Darkseid and Two Face issue's I have not enjoyed any others. I am very disappointed thus far.

    i'll just put this out there. black manta and grodd's issues have to do with forever evil so far. the rest are origins, or in joker and HQ's case pointless, uninteresting dribble. of course you're disappointed with them. they did the covers before they had creative teams on them. they are planned well in advance as cash grabs.

    @thetimestreamer: I still can't believe they did that. It shows you DC's mindset like nothing else.

    jokers was just boring and i really didn't care for the idea that joker is evil since he was abused as a child.

    I was really excited but I guess im slightly dissapointed.. Not because all the stories are bad but they feel so short so its really hard to get something significant across. I dont know what I expected really.

    I havent really all of them yet this week but so far id say my favorite is Solomon Grundy, Ivy and maybe Brainiac.

    For the most part, they have been mediocre.

    Out of what I've read, the ones that stood out were Poison Ivy, Riddler, and Two-Face.

    The others have ranged from insultingly bad (Harley Quinn) to barely passable (Black Manta).

    They have felt like quite the waste of time, that's for sure. Also no happy with certain origin changes - I'm looking at you Cyborg Superman!!

    Does anyone feel DC is laughing all the way to the bank and not even trying to produce intelligent stories? Glitzy covers, gimmicks, and mediocrity.

    Pretty much. Hopefully the main story of Forever Evil turns out to be good, but all the 1 shots are obviously a gimmick.

    I knew it was a sales ploy going into it but jeez, I really feel like at least the ones I've picked up have been extremely spotty. Out of the five I've read I would consider only two of them decent.

    I'm not sure why everyone seems to be disappointed.

    Seriously, ask yourself this question: If you read every single DC title before villain's month, would you be of the opinion that some of the books were bad, or, not as good as others, or simply not for you?

    Villain's month is a sales gimmick that didn't promise to improve the existing quality of books all around at DC, but just persuade you to purchase more books...and it looks like it worked judging by the comments made on the forums.

    Sure, there will be some issues that you think are A-grade, some B-grade, and some that are downright bad...but that's the case with every Wednesday, with DC, Marvel, and other publishers.

    I couldn't agree more. I've enjoyed most of them so far with a few bad eggs in the mix, but I wasn't expecting any amazing stories to be honest. They're all one-shots. It's hard to tell great stories with one issue to tell it. Especially when their is so many issues to focus on at once. I like the covers myself even if it is a cheap gimmick.

    the only one I've liked has been the Killer Frost issue...it's been the only one that actually made me care about the villain in the slightest and even then it wasn't really all that great of a book

    I've flicked through quite a few and they were mostly rubbish, tbh. Have bought Darkseid and its enjoyable but too brief, The Mongul one was really disappointing, I was looking forward to his return!

    I only have enjoyed Riddler, Darkseid,Black Manta and Relic. The rest I read(Lobo, Deadshot, Killer Frost) weren't to my liking maybe just Deadshot.

    I don't like them for the fact that it delays an already decompressed story by another month for most the titles just like Zero month last year. Two months between story progression is too long. It kills almost all the momentum a story has built up if they are in the middle of an arc and then put on hold.
