Yup, it's catching up time again.
Birds of Prey #10
It's an absolute joy to read a book about a group of tough, competent women, who support and love each other, are intelligent and demand everyone's respect. Such a different feel and context to other comics. Or books, TV, films et al. BoP is a book about women, where women are in the spotlight centre stage and given credibility. Why aren't there more stories like this?
On a more frivolous note, Batman is wearing a riveted metal jockstrap in this issue. Oh how I laughed. and laughed and laughed and laughed.
Batgirl #19
The art in this issue is wonderful. It's cartoony and lively, not very detailed and a bit caricaturish. It's great. Steph has a devil may care attitude to crimefighting and so the art and writing really mesh well together.
Superboy #5
It's Bart vs Kon in a race! Krypto wins. Seriously.
In other Flash news, DC will make all Flashpoint issues available digitally 4 weeks after the real copies have been sold. Ace beans. I'll be getting in on the e-versions then.
More reviews coming tomorrow.
