Rapid Reviews - 11 June 2003 - Part IV


Fallen Angel Preview in Horizon: Another morally ambigous title from Peter David. I mean that in a good way, by the way. This sort of book is designed to make the reader think. And while it's clear that there will be heroes and villians, it's equally clear that the lead character is not what she seems. Looking forward to the first issue. 3 1/2 starfish

Formerly Known As The Justice League Preview in Horizon: I confess I'm not a big fan of the Giffen League, but to my surprise I couldn't pass up a return to those days of yore, so I ordered this book. And, from the preview, it looks like we are going to get exactly what we expect. 3 1/2 starfish

Akiko #50: The last issue of Akiko came out on the 7th of August. Ten months is a long time to wait for another issue of any series, thus I cannot say this issue was worth the wait. It was, however, pretty good, with a number of fun Akiko stories. I just hope #51 is quicker. 4 starfish

PS238 #2: This is one of the best books to come along in ages. It has a nice sense of the absurd, and only plays it as straight as it has to. I love this book. Go get a copy and read it. 4 1/2 starfish

That's it. I'm caught up again. This week's books are supposed to be Snapdragons, Batman Adventures, Birds of Prey, Scary Monsters, JLA Workweek, Outsiders, Power Company, Truth, and Crossovers. Maybe I'll get caught up on my Aquaman website sometime these next couple of weeks.

For the record, today was even worse than I thought it would be. Next bad day is July 23rd.
