Rapid Reviews - 15 October 2003 - Part I

Smallville: Extinction [3-03]: Was this a not-so-subtle jab at the first season's "freak of the week" episodes? For whatever reason, this one didn't work well for me at all. It felt like an attempt to get everyone back to status quo. If I sat back and just watched, I enjoyed it, but the moment I started thinking about it I felt a slight disappointment. 3 1/2 starfish

Green Arrow #31: Oh my. You just don't see this much in the DCU. While the character involved was a new character, the story played with an established character's history and future. I don't know, it just seemed. Forced. I enjoyed most of the story, but the ending didn't work for me. 3 1/2 starfish

JSA #53: Not bad, not bad. This book still has far too many characters running around in different plots for my tastes. Luckily, the book kept the focus on the main plotline and that worked. And, because of all the different plots, the cliffhanger could come from any direction, and came from one I wasn't expecting. Definitely not bad. 4 starfish
