It's apparently "naked" week in the comics, so each review will include a "nakedity" rating as well as a starfish rating.
Hawkman #23: We probably didn't need to buy this to understand the crossover with JSA. Probably. It was an ok issue, but a little annoying to buy just for the last two pages. Nakedity: The village people wannabes ask the wrong woman to show off her assets, but otherwise tame. Minor. 
Aquaman #14: Another great fill-in from John Ostrander. I love these single issue stories. And this is my favorite kind of story: how people react to Aquaman. This one brings to mind my all-time favorite Aquaman story, written by Shaun McLaughlin. It is someone asking about superheroes, trying to find out more, and getting completely different reactions from each person. While this wasn't quite as touching as the McLaughlin story, it's pretty close, and we get a bigger variety of interpretations, too. Yeah, I liked this one a lot. Nakedity: One woman being interviewed has a bit of a fantasy. Only one panel, but... moderate. 
Thor #73: We get to see how Thor lost his arm and eye in a flashback, and it was about the person you'd expect to inflict such damage. This plotline is moving along. I only wonder where it will finally end. And who gets to grab that hammer. Nakedity: Does Magni ever wear a shirt? And Thor gets mostly undressed at one point, too. Moderate. 
Still to review: Secret Identity, Way of the Rat, 1602, and Green Arrow.
