Rapid Reviews - 24 December 2003 - Part I

Shrek #3: Only two weeks after the second issue, the third and final issue comes out. It's funny, and there is certainly enough here to make a cool ongoing series... if not for the problems that turned the four issue mini into a three issue mini of which two issues were really late. This one had both Shrek and Donkey pulling their weight together for the comedy, and had great writing and art. 3 1/2 starfish

JLA #91: Tan Eng Huat's artwork is very odd. It worked in Doom Patrol, but I don't like it much in JLA. Add in the apparent environmental message (alien comes to earth to find species that Man has destroyed, hmmm, where have I heard that before, eh?) and it just does't do much for me. 2 1/2 starfish

Birds of Prey #62: While the Lady Shiva and Black Canary plot was interesting enough, it's the subplot of Oracle's computer problems that really drew me in. It's a testament to how much Batman trusts Barbara that he didn't do a double-check on the house she led him to. This one ended on a double-cliffhanger, too. 3 1/2 starfish

Still to review: Amazing Spider-Man, El Cazador, and Phantom.
