Rapid Reviews - 15 Jan 2003


Green Lantern #158: Eh, average. I'm with Jen, there's something fishy there, but it's too obvious. Hopefully the second part will make up for this less-than-stellar set-up issue. 3 starfish. 3 starfish

Power Company #12: Everything finally boils out into the main conflict! This was a good one. 4 starfish. 4 starfish

Spectre #25: Another deep meaningful issue. I actually prefer these types of stories to the regular ones, as this focuses on the people that the Spectre touches in the real world instead of the Spectre himself (who, let's face it, is kind of a boring guy because of this "all-powerful" thing he has going). Anyway, I liked it. 4 starfish. 4 starfish

Here's what is supposed to ship next week: Castle Waiting #16, Batman: Gotham Adventures #58, Birds of Prey #51, Supergirl #78, JLA/Spectre: Soul War #1, Titans #49, Amazing Spider-Man #49, Crossovers #1, Interman GN, and the Aquaman Archive Vol 1 (if it's not delayed).

Rowling Along


By now you've probably heard the news. "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" will be out on June 21, 2003 in Britain, the US, Canada, and Australia. It's also over a third longer than the immensely long "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire". Will Harry-mania get children through a book that long?

Song of the Day


"Linus and Lucy" by Vince Guaraldi. Sometimes called the theme to Peanuts. Nice snappy little tune that's neither overly happy nor depressing. Perfect song for a middle-of-the road day.
