All-Star Batman and Robin #5
I think at this point it's fair to say that Frank Miller has issues with women. And children. And superheroes. And intelligence.

Kamandi at Earth's End #3
Don't you love it when the comics that are supposed to be more edgy and realistic are, in fact, MUCH sillier?

Superman's Christmas Adventure
Less an "adventure" and more "Superman invades people's privacy and doesn't punish the villains."
NOTE: Many people have been quick to point out that historically, the use of "X" for Xmas has historical connotations and has been done for hundreds of years, so it's not like it's some vast conspiracy to take Christ out of Christmas, in particular that "X" is Greek for the first part of Christ, the Ch.
HOWEVER, I would argue that unless you're WRITING in Greek, the replacement of Christ with "X" has no real function in a modern-day capacity, seeing as (at least I am and the comic is) it's being written here IN MODERN ENGLISH. There's something to be said for using it for space-saving purposes, yet in the comic they flip-flop and use it both ways for no real reason. But whatever, I'm just pointing out that you can start making a gajillion comments about other things now, like how Clark's parents were dead in the Golden Age continuity.

Batman: Jazz #1
Batman hates rock and roll, but what does he feel about jazz?
NOTE: I have been informed that it's likely "Blue Byrd" is a stand-in for Charles "Bird" Parker, an influential jazz player who helped create be-bop, who died of a drug-overdose in the mid-1950s. I'm not entirely certain of how I feel about the idea that in the comic that not only did they die in Gotham, but they faked their death to go study in Europe. In addition, that "The Dewey Brothers" area a stand-in for the Dorsey Brothers, who are unfairly called trash in the comic.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home
The movie is about a crew in a stolen alien vessel going back in time to rescue some whales so they can talk to an alien probe. Why wasn't this a comic book FIRST?
EDITED TO ADD: People have been asking for a link to SF Debris' review of Star Trek IV. I really think it's not that difficult to find if you just do a search for it, but very well: The Introduction to his Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Review

The battle is over, Bludhaven is silent... save for the angered cries of anyone who bought this miniseries.
