Rapid Reviews - 3 Jan 2003 - Part II


Batman: The Golden Streets of Gotham: If only. If only this weren't the umpteen Elseworld about Batman. If only we had more of other characters in Elseworlds. It was good, but I'm so tired of Elseworlds based on Batman. They are beginning to all blend into one. 3 starfish.

Young Justice #53: We knew it was coming, but still a doozy of a last page. I like how the situation was discovered, and I like "Robin"'s reason for dressing as he does. And I like the working link to a website. 4 starfish.

Lone Wolf and Cub Vol 28: Wow. The conclusion. The final issue. The end. I didn't know what to expect, as Itto had become more and more superhuman as the series went on, but I knew that Yagyu was also portrayed as mostly superhuman, even if he did have to send every single person loyal to him to soften up Itto... but I was left with one burning question at the end, and that question made me say, "One more page! Please! One last bit! I need an epilogue!" 4 1/2 starfish for this issue, and for the series as a whole.



Aquaman #2: Mmmmmm. More Aquaman. I prefer the colors on this version of the cover to the preview version. This gets a rating when it comes out, though I may post a full review on my website as soon as Monday night.

Comics due out next week: Green Arrow #20, Powers #27, Futurama/Simpsons #2, Superman/Batman Generation III #1, Hawkman #11, JSA #44, Way of the Rat #9, and Superman: The 10 Cent Adventure. Oh yeah, and Aquaman #2.
