Spoilers ahead for this lot:
Supergirl 36
It's the new creative arc and lo and behold I actually enjoyed it. This is a good writing team. Art was OK - the first panel was a boobs and butt pose which isn't great, obvs, but the rest was OK. Kara gets full armour and it looks better than the unitard.
The comic opens with Kara working in a coffee shop, frustrated with earth tech (till machines) and a bearded Clark turns up and lectures her. I liked Kara in these scenes. She felt real.
Then she gets whisked to space and introduction d to the crucible academy. This wasn't bad. Nice to see Maxima there. I hope we get to see her back on earth though.
Aquaman 36.
I dip in and out of this title. I bought this one for for the Lego cover (also got the Lego Supergirl cover). It's a strong issue. Good plotting, good writing and good art. I like Mera's catsuit.
Batgirl 35
This is the new creative team. It's really, really good. I will be putting this on my pull list. Black Canary is in it (winner). The art is kinda reminiscent of the art from Archie/Betty/Veronica type stories. C'est triple good.
Batman/Superman 16
I got really edgy and grumpy while reading this. It's a tense story with really touching moments.
Multiversity 3 (4)?
These are all numbered 1 on the cover, it's confusing. (woe is me, ect ect). This issue had watchmen, Midnighter and marvel references. I preferred the previous issue, it made more sense. Then again, this is Morrison and he's not interested in writing linear easy to understand stories. I'm sure that as a whole it will all come together.
Sensation Comics 4
Ugh, just check out the boobs and butt pose on the cover it is horrible. It would be nice if she wasn't twisted so much. It looks like it's aping Adam Hughes, but for all his faults he doesn't usually create spine twisters.
Inside the comic is much better. Gilbert Hernandez's Wondy, Supergirl and Mary Marvel art make for a very enjoyable alternative story. I'm not sure I have a view on the plot or characterisation - it;s maybe rather stilted, but perhaps that's the point - but the art makes it worth reading.
The 50ft Wondy story is quite nice, with a bit of cheeky gender bending at the end. The final story also has good art and fat Etta - always worthwhile.
Harley Quinn 12
Good fun. Harley has a red and black Peej outfit on. I bet we'll start seeing that at cons soon. Peej has named Harls her sidekick and they fight a giant pizza slice then visit Manos, bearer of the infinity rings.
Jonah Hex new 52 volume 2
I'm halfway through this and it's OK so far. I'm not a big fan of Westerns hence why it's only OK. I would quite like to read the issues when Jonah gets plumped forward to the present day.

Sensation Comics have been wonderful...except for the covers. They just can't quite bring themselves to NOT do something "sexy" because they are terrified that only silly women will read I guess.
ReplyDeleteapparently it is an Adam Hughes cover... ugggghhh!
