I meant to write these last week, but I've been in no mood to write. I've been unexpectedly inspired today, however, and my creative juices are currently flowing for the first time in days. I'll take advantage of it to write last week's reviews.
Aquaman #5: For want of an artist, the story was ruined. Veitch is putting too much of the story into the dialogue because he can't rely on the artist to correctly portray his ideas. As a major point, the "secret sea" is absolutely boring the way Guichet shows it, but fascinating the way Veitch (through Aquaman) describes it. I wish we could get a good artist on Aquaman again. I wonder if Nick Cardy is available.
Green Arrow #23: Ug. Both characters are portrayed as ridiculously childish. I mean, yeah, Ollie is childish... as is Kyle, but this is too much. Otherwise, the set-up is interesting, and the art isn't too bad.
Superman/Batman Generations III #4: This series is fluctuating from pretty good to pretty bad from issue to issue. This one isn't bad, but so far the whole thing has definitely failed to grip me.
Astro City: Local Heroes #2: A twist on the old LL story. The strong woman, the stronger hero... or is he? I like how this one plays out. And I especially like that last splash page.
Way of the Rat #12: Fun fun fun... This book is strong and funny, but it just seems to fly by. I think that's the case with most books I like, though. I'll have to reread the first twelve issues soon. I think I'll like the story.
Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow Vol 4: Not as thrilling in revelations as the last volume, but this one has its own high points. This is a remarkably interesting series.
Got "next week's books" today, will review them later: Green Lantern #162, JLA: Age of Wonder #1, JLA: Scary Monsters #2, and JSA #47.
