Rapid Reviews - 27 Dec 2002 - Part I


Power Company #11: The newest member appears, and there is some more friction among the partners. The story progressed a little slower than I liked, but it was interesting how things played out. I particularly like the cliff-hanger. 4 flying fish.

Titans #48: I only read this book for Tempest, who doesn't appear in this issue, and I'm really tired of mind-control storylines. 2 crabs.

JLA #76: Hey! Aquaman was in this issue! Ok, so he showed up on one page, and it pre-dated his appearance in his own book, but at least he was there. What was more interesting was the comings and goings of the various members of the team. Still, this was a fill-in issue, and even the art showed that. 2 1/2 dogfish.

Avengers #62: One more issue of Avengers after this one for us. Two stories going on here, both fairly interesting. I liked Gary Frank's art. 3 1/2 catfish.

Amazing Spider-Man #48: Had trouble remembering what had happened in the last issue, but once I did, I enjoyed this issue. Yeah, this has been a good book. Too bad Marvel hates its readers, or I'd be more inclined to follow JMS when he switches to another Spidey book. 4 swordfish.

Batman: Gotham Adventures #57: I generally like Robin stories, but this one ... I don't know, I didn't connect with it at all. It was ok, but nothing special. 3 goldfish.

Still to go: Gotham Girls, League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Ruse, Archard's Agents, Opposite Forces, The Witch and the Jackal.
