Comic Reviews: March 09 2011

I'm just going to put this out there. I'm really bad at reviewing things. I'm usually quite a positive person, and I really just enjoy reading comics so it's hard to be critical of them. But I'll try, just for you though. Just this once. I'm also going to try to keep them short and not too reviewer-y. Just if I like them and why.

I'll start this review session with my favorite cover of the week. This week is:

Wonder Woman 608 variant cover by Alex Garner

umm spoiler?

Justice League: Generation Lost 21: Consistently an excellent comic, but this week made me extra happy due to the ending. Also Red Rocket is quickly becoming one of my new favorite characters. Good

Batgirl 19: I had never really been much of a Stephanie Brown fan until her new series. Something which may have been due to my love for Tim Drake. She also kept screwing up all the time which pissed me off. But now Batgirl is one of my favorite series. Brian Q. Miller has made Stephanie charming, witty, and completely awesome. Batgirl 19 is no different. Good





Wonder Woman 608: Even though it's been 8 issues, Wonder Woman is still trying to find its footing. It's not that I don't enjoy Hesters work, I'm just finding it hard to care about the story or characters. Though I do enjoy the new takes on Artemis, Giganta, and Cheetah.  I am looking forward to seeing where the series is headed, but I'm still gonna give this issue a Meh

Ultimate Spider-man 155: I really enjoyed the scene between JJ and Peter. It's nice to see that in this universe Spider-man and Jonah can work alongside each other. I'm a bit skeptical about this whole "death of Spider-man arc. I hate that it's starting so soon I really would have liked to see more of Peter being taught how to be a superhero by Iron Man. Captain America and Thor would have been cool too. Who knows maybe we'll get to see more of that if Spider-man survives his death.Good




Superboy 4: Even though the Superboy vs Kid Flash race should have been awesome, I was pretty underwhelmed by it. This issue felt like a filler issue, which it might have been, but thats no excuse.Plus I'm still really bothered by the Lori Luthor/Superboy we're-totally-not-related-even-though-we-so-are thing. It's really making me not enjoy the series. I do not want to see a budding relationship from two characters who share the same DNA. This is not Arrested Development you can't get away with that. Bad
