Really short reviews this week, because I'm ill Should be writing far more, but I'm ill and very very tired.
Aquaman 13 and 14 - I far far prefer my Aqua books when they are exploring Atlantis and not the surface world. The cultural differences are far more interesting than the surface fights, and the art is always more interesting. I do kind of wish that the first big crossover wasn't a war with the surface world though. I think that's where this is going, and I am not impressed.
Ame-Comi girls 11 to 15 - Gretat. Avril Palmer is Atom and is fully covered up. The distinction of her being a scientist not an action hero is something I miss from other comics (where anyone with skills or strength atumatically becomes an superhero, regardless of their suitability). It's brilliant to have a narrative where Shayara is the Point of View character, not Katar, and where Katar is the romantic interest and only serves to drive Shayara's plot forward. Even her silly skimpy police outfit didn't look stupid, at least not on the last page where she's drawn with respect and strength.
I also got Fanboys vs Zombies as part of Comixiology's current promotion. It's awful. No one speaks like that, surely.
Demon Knights 14 - It's full of sarcasm and pretty art. I approve.
Green Lantern nu52 #1 is a corker. Nearly makes me want to get the back issues.
Is the War of Light story collected into 1 trade? Or did ity spread over several series? What issues did it cover?
Smallville 23, 34, 25 - I adore this comic. It's perfect. But good grief, what is Bart wearing?
Arrow 1 - better than I expected. Will read more. Need more money first though. Mike Grell's art give sit a very different feel to Smallville. I was under the impression Arrow was a spin off from Smallville. It appears not.
Green Arrow 14 and 15 - It feels good to enjoy a Green Arrow book again. #14 made me almost tempted to go back and read the savage hawkman..
And I like the art. I know it's not popular, but the cartoonish, scratchiness of it appeals to me.
Detective Comics nu52 1 - i wish this was a comic I could give give to kids.
