    I am going to put aside my distaste for the Wonder Woman and Superman romance which is ruining the cover for me.  I am also going to put aside that this is partially a business move for DC, both because of the fact that they canceled so many new 52 books that there are not enough to make a full list of 52 titles for the month and because they get to maintain rights to their old series "Young Romance."  On that last point, I am going to put aside that as a fan of the campiness of the old romance comics that I actually kind of like the original series of Young Romance.  With all of this out of the way, this is just simply not a very good issue.  It contains a number of stories but most of them give too much of a trivial treatment of love, don't do justice to well-established characterizations, ignore other developments in the plots of DC titles, or a combination of all three of these.  The art in some of the stories is also hard to look at.  Just generally it seems like DC did not put a lot of effort into this.

      A Valentines Day anthology from DC. Because there's nothing I need more than being reminded that I'm single...Anyway, being that this is an anthology series, I'll review each story individually.Catwoman and Batman in "Think it Through" - 2/5Pretty much nothing happened in this story. Catwoman sees something she wants to buy, she tries to rob something, and Batman stops her. That's it. There's no romance, there's no interest, it's just something that happens. The art is okay, but the story doesn'...
