Rapid Reviews - 23 July 2003 - Part II

Futurama Comics #14: This book can be read seven different ways. It's equally silly every way. But it's a pleasant sort of silly. 3 1/2 starfish

Crossovers #7: Definitely another set-up issue. I trust that things will get more exciting in the next few issues. I can see that this book will be strong issues followed by spectacular issues, then back to strong issues for awhile. 3 1/2 starfish

JLA: Liberty and Justice Preview: Many many thanks to Victor, who picked one of these previews up for me at San Diego. This is just a six page preview of the book, which will be out in November. What makes it such a great collector's item for me is that the cover of the San Diego Comic-Con version features Aquaman (taken from the poster that will come out with the book). As for the preview itself, it's pretty good. Alex Ross' artwork is easy on the eyes and he's always best with a great story to back him up, and Paul Dini is nothing if not a great storyteller. 4 starfish

I hope Usagi Yojimbo shows up today, as well as Empire, Green Lantern, and JLA.
