Rapid Reviews - 22 September 2004 - Part I

Conan #8: The artwork is a mild disappointment. It's not bad, but I was really liking the regular artist a lot. This artist, Greg Ruth, will be doing fill-ins for a strange six part story-arc that isn't going to be released all at once. I think it's a good way to handle it, personally, and I'm curious to see what other fans think of the method. As for the story... it's Conan. What else is there to say, really? You like brutal fantasy warriors, you'll probably love this book.

Opposite Forces #4: The first story-arc is finally finished, and it's as funny as expected. Not a bad one at all, right down to Waggles the Villian. A fun, light superhero book.

PS238 #7: Wow. Just, wow. I thought this book couldn't possibly get any better. I was wrong. If you aren't reading this, at least visit the website and check it out: Free samples here. Or start here or here or here or here or here or here (or you could just click on that first here and keep clicking "next" as you read the minis. The regular issues are full length with a back-up story).

Still to review: Avengers, Plastic Man, H-E-R-O, Noble Causes, Smallville, and Daisy Kutter.
