Rapid Reviews - 26 November 2003 - Part IV

Superman: The Kansas Sighting #1: There's not enough here to review. I don't mean that in a bad way. It's just that there are so many pieces, but pretty much no answers. My enjoyment of this first issue is really going to rely on how good the second issue is. Purely on it's own, the art is ok and the storytelling is a bit disjointed. I can't say I loved it, but I didn't hate it either.

Amazing Spider-Man #60/501: This is your standard "day in the life" issue, except from the point of view of Aunt May, who is still dealing with who Peter is. I personally really like the way JMS writes Aunt May, and so this particular issue is a pleasant read for me. Nothing super special, but it was a solid issue, worth a read.

Usagi Yojimbo #71: Wow, a young Katsuichi tale! He really is a handsome young warrior, just learning his way. His tale is heartbreaking. You wonder what he did after, but we drift back to the present before we see the consequences of that night. And it's interesting to see that even Katsuichi can get distracted. On a slightly less important note, the back cover is an ad for the Emerald City ComiCon, featuring Stan's giant Usagi trashing Seattle.
