Rapid Reviews - 26 May 2004 - Part III

Way of the Rat #24: That was one long wish. But at least it seemed to have worked. It's a shame this ended on what is essentially a cliff-hanger, though. While the book doesn't say that it's the end, the chances of this series coming back seem pretty slim. If it does come back, I hope Jeff Johnson is the artist again. Mildly recommended. 3 1/2 starfish

Supreme Power #10: After Hyperion ended up at ground zero in the last issue, we find out in the first couple of pages whether or not he survived it. Then we get the full introduction to another character... Power Princess, I presume. Quite a bit different in this incarnation. We also learn a bit more about, um, Amphibian. Mildly recommended 3 1/2 starfish

Demo #6: This one is a bit more into the horror genre than the others so far. The main character is a misfit during a time when not fitting in was very important. The break-out of his power is frightening. I think more horrifying is the matter-of-fact way it's portrayed... both the gardener and the kid accept it, even if no one else can. A very powerful little story. I liked this one quite a bit. Recommended. 4 starfish

Still to review: New Frontier, Ant, Common Grounds, Harley & Ivy, and Green Lantern/Green Arrow Vol 1.
