Rapid Reviews - 10 March 2004 - Extras

So there's no new Angel or Smallville this week, I can still supply you with a few extra reviews of stuff you might otherwise not hear about.

Dodge's Bullets ashcan: A straight up detective story set in modern Seattle... perfect for someone looking for something new and different. The artwork is by James Francis, who captures the feel of Seattle fairly well even in the few pages afforded by the ashcan format. The writer is Jay Faerber, known for his many works for DC and Marvel, as well as the critically acclaimed Noble Causes. Definitely something to keep an eye on. 3 1/2 starfish

If you missed Dodge's Bullets, you can still order it using Diamond code DEC03 1315. It's from Image ($9.95, 80 pages) and due out the last week in March or the first week in April.

As long as I'm promoting, I might as well mention my very latest acquisition:

Cells by Scott Mills via free comic book month offer: This is a short tale, set within prison walls. It will give you a good taste of what Mills work is like while giving you something to think about. Quiet, short, and thought-provoking. You can get it for $1 shipping until the end of March at Scott's message board. Go, check it out. It's worth a look. 4 starfish

Still to review: Green Arrow, Powers, H-E-R-O, and Fallen Angel.
