Rapid Reviews - 6 August 2003 - Part III

Cardcaptor Sakura: Master of the Clow Vol 6: My experience with Japanese "saga" comics, which is admittedly very small, has led me to believe that ambiguous endings are the norm. Thankfully, this final installment of the original Cardcaptor series isn't that way. There's a great ending, and all the loose ends I can think of are tied up nicely. This was a good series. 3 1/2 starfish

Justice League Adventures #22: Strange cover for a story that was apparently about Green Lantern. If the little role that Hawkgirl had in the story was the emphasis, then it was a very poor story. If the Green Lantern part was the emphasis, it wasn't horrible, just not up to the usual standards. And the Garbage Pail Kids inserts were... icky. 3 starfish

Supreme Power #1: Marvel's riff on the Justice League goes hard core with JMS writing. Not a bad coverage of the early days of Hyperion (this universe's Superman) as he lands in a field as an alien orphan with phenomenal powers. There's also more hints of where the story is going with a nice teaser at the end, and a cliffhanger of the main plot. All-in-all, a solid first issue. 3 1/2 starfish

That's it for this week. Next week's comics are Powers, Ruse, Generations 3, Aquaman, Fallen Angel, Green Arrow, H-E-R-O, JLA, JSA, and Amazing Spider-Man, if everything arrives. Could be a fun week for the Aqua-fan... And I've been told by a person I trust that I will like Fox Trot tomorrow. I can hardly wait to see tomorrow's funnies. Maybe they'll distract me from the constant pain of sunburn.
