Not Fair Nor Balanced

This late night/early morning blogging is getting to be a bad habit. I just hope once the pain subsides I'll be able to get back into a normal sleeping pattern. Staying up all night listening to the sound of possums outside is not the most calming way to live. At least it's led to some interesting blog entries lately, as just about all I could do without causing myself immense pain was to sit and surf the web. This would have been different if I enjoyed watching TV some more, or if I'd managed to get myself interested in one of my video games. But instead, I've had several days of steady blogging, and I'm pretty sick of it. Anyway, on to some comic book reviews, as that's been a welcome change from web surfin' for the last few hours:

Rapid Reviews - 13 August 2003 - Part II

JLA #84: Ok, I've not been fond of Joe Kelly's JLA. It's been just readable, with spots of brilliance. I don't know what he's leading to in this arc, but it's better than the last few issues. I'm afraid the killer bit of this story is in one line uttered by Batman: "Yes... I can still feel joy." Overall, the issue is far from wonderful, but not too bad. 3 1/2 starfish

Fallen Angel #2: Just what is Lee? She's obviously being set up as an entity that you shouldn't cross, but beyond that, what? Still intrigued, but I'm not sure what I'm reading. This is an off-balance book, and I'm not certain I like where it's headed. 3 1/2 starfish

H-E-R-O #7: Yeah, I can see people doing this if they got their hands on the device. In fact, it's such a natural for this day and age, I'm surprised no one else has done a story similar to it so far (at least that I've read). This is an interesting book. I'm eager to see where this plotline goes. 3 1/2 starfish

Still to review: Ruse, Green Arrow, Amazing Spider-Man, and Aquaman.
