Rapid Reviews - 20 August 2003 - Part III

Outsiders #3: Not a bad dynamic of characters. Joker, Luthor, and a bunch of kid heroes. But I still feel like I'm reading something that was forced together for the sake of creating a new book. 3 starfish

Arrowsmith #2: This book gets better. And better. The artwork is superb. The writing is fantastic. And I love the alternate universe that we're being shown, as well as the terrifying hints as to what is really happening in the War. This is a great book. 4 starfish

Warning: After the recent problems with CrossGen, you may want to take any of my reviews of CrossGen books with a grain of salt, as I may be filtering my perceptions through mud-colored glasses.

Way of the Rat #16: The action kicks up a bit, which is a nice change. We also get to see at least one instance of the ghost haunting the city being more dangerous than we thought they might be. I'm beginning to think that Zhumar is a city even more cursed than Aquaman's Atlantis. 3 1/2 starfish

That's this week's reviews. Due up next week are Superman: Red Son, Empire, Green Lantern, JLA, and Amazing Spider-Man.
