Long day yesterday, got today off, long day tomorrow, so it's veg-time. I did get up and dressed long enough to visit the comic book shop and pick up this week's delights, but that's it for work today. Well, until dinner, I guess... it is my turn to feed hubby-Eric tonight.
Here's the start of this week's reviews:
JLA/JSA Secret Files & Origins: Wow, the second Secret Files in a row that I actually liked! This issue could actually be called "JLA/JSA Preview Stories" and it would have worked as well. In any case, two fins up. More details on the four-page Aquaman prelude story "Home Again" are on my Aquaman page. 4 starfish.
Amazing Spider-Man #47: Hmmm, don't like the new villian, but I think that's the point. The story seems to be paced too slowly, but I bet if I read it all in one sitting when it's done it'll seem paced too fast. A decent middle of a tale. 3 starfish.
Truth #1 (of 6): Kyle Baker's art has never really done anything for me in the past, and I hate to admit it's the only thing about this book that really bothers me. It's not that it's bad; I just feel one more step removed from the story than usual, and this is a story I feel like I really need to understand, to get into. Despite that quibble, which most readers will hopefully not have, this was a very good set-up story, and well worth a look. If you can find it in your shop. 3 1/2 starfish.
