Classic Aquaman Statue: I already said my piece on this, but I'll summarize. This is the best Aquaman-related product to come down the line, ever. He's absolutely gorgeous. The pictures on the box itself don't even do justice to the real thing. His expression is perfect. I look at it from different angles and I see slightly different emotions. I have no nitpicks. This is exactly what I wanted and hoped for from this item. 5 starfish.
Spectre #24: I haven't really enjoyed this book much recently, and I didn't expect to enjoy this issue. But I was pleasantly surprised by the change of pace and the guest stars. The art, however, was pretty bad. It was readable: decent storytelling despite the nature of the book, but it just looked ugly. 2 1/2 starfish (would have been 3 1/2, but for the art).
Green Arrow #19: Hmmm... the Archer's Quest is continuing, and I like it. This one had a couple of very nice bits with other Justice League members (is it guest star week?). I'm still not used to Hester's blocky artwork, but there are very few spots in this issue where I found it annoying. So, overall, pretty good. 3 1/2 starfish.
Young Justice #52: Just when you thought it was safe to read the last page. Anyway, another issue to make me annoyed that this book is being cancelled. Three major plot threads, all of them handled well. 4 starfish.
Futurama #10: I had no intention of reading this, much less reviewing this. It just happened to be in the stack, so I started to flip through it before setting it aside, and before I knew it I'd read it. Not that it's particularly compelling, or anything, it's just cute and silly. 2 starfish.
Way of the Rat #8: We already knew that Boon was quite an idiot... now the story gets "deeper" and we get to see several plot threads being woven. This is a better issue than the last two, and I hope the level stays up on the next few issues. 3 1/2 starfish.
Still to go: Justice League Adventures #14 and JLA/JSA: Virtue and Vice. Tomorrow. Not today. No more blogs today.
