Rapid Reviews - 8 October 2003 - Part II

Can't spend all my time ranting about depression and teacher strikes, now, can I?

Archie & Friends Monster Bash 2003: I might find this more impressive if I knew the history behind Cheryl Blossom. I get the impression that she's an old rival of both Betty and Veronica for Archie Andrews' love, and maybe that's enough. In any case, this is a funny little tale, and the book has lots of info on how to get more comics, making it a great Halloween giveaway. 3 1/2 starfish

Spidey & The Mini-Marvels Halloween 2003 Ashcan: Heh. Funny. "I wanna eat your brains." Heh. And they're so cute, too. Heh. As a Halloween giveaway, very cool. Biggest problem is lack of comic book information. At least the Archie one gives you information on how to find more comics. This one just is a cute story. 3 1/2 starfish

H-E-R-O #9: The device moves to Gotham, to the darker side, where people compete to be super-villains and take on Him. How useful can the device be against someone like that? We don't find out this issue, but we do get a glimpse of the lack of honor among thieves in the DCU's most crime-ridden place. 3 1/2 starfish

Still to review: Fallen Angel, JLA, JSA: All-Stars, World's Best Sampler, Crossovers, and El Cazador.
