In an effort to catch up with my backlog of reviews I am now going to implement 3 sentence reviews. They shall be short, sharp, succinct, possibly with some wit worked in, and to the point. So, mini spoilers ahead for Green Arrow/Black Canary #24, Supeman/Batman #64, Power Girl #5, Adventure Comics #2, Supergirl #45 and Action Comics # 881.

Green Arrow/Black Canary #24
A positive, normalised portrayal of a lesbian couple, Dinah and Cupid working together (in a believable way) and the return of Mia. What's not to like? It appears that Ollie and Dinah will have rotating duties as the back up feature - this makes sense.
Supeman/Batman #64
Inked and pencilled by one guy - Scott Kolins. He has done a stunning job on this and deserves high praise, recognition and accolades. The art made a boring story well worth the cover price, I could just drink this in.
Power Girl #5
Amanda Connor should be forced to draw cats every issue and Palmiotti should write Peej's everyday life in every issue. Karen is at her most interesting when she's being herself, chatting to normal folks and doing everyday stuff. This book is coming on very well.
Adventure Comics #2
This week Connor reunites with Cassie, next week it's Tim. The art is perfectly suited to the romantic scenes in the book and even Krypto is worked in well. Regarding the legion back up - I dislike twin stories.
Action Comics #881
I have nothing to say that Anj hasn't already, so go read his review. I really don't understand why Captain Atom is the backup to this. Does he have history with the Super family, or Action Comics?
Supergirl #45
Lois takes charge, Streaky the cat is at Kara's appartment and Thara and Kara continue to misuunderstand each other. This Kara is a far cry from the simpering, posing idiot on the cover preview to Cry for Justice #4. Why is she on all fours when the other heroes are dynamic or at least standing up?
Hmm. OK so no wit there, but that was a fun exercise. I must remember to do it again sometime.
