Blue Devil #7 Proof positive that Gil Kane should not be allowed to draw some comics. Did you ever notice that all his characters appear to have had bad nights? He doesn't seem to be able to get the horn/head ratio correct across pages, either. The plot was a little slow, I hope this isn't a bad sign. Wonder Woman #322 Nice cover, maybe now that WW is going bi-monthly, they can pay more attention to the story line. Let's hope,though that they don't go back to the 'when the amazons were off the earth' nonsense back in the late 60's/early 70's. I rather liked Eros better than Steve Trevor, though. New Mutants #23/ New Mutants An. There are some story lines that Bill S(whatever) can draw. The current line in the New Muties, I think, is one. We're heading toward a nice #25 story. The annual was a *little* strange. Did you that some states have laws against that sort of thing? (think about the supposed age of the new muties). I hope that the Joan Jett clone is not a one-shot deal. Dr Who #3 This story was *much* better than the last two. However, there is still too much space being taken up by related-but-not-the-doctor stories. I'm glad that the child sidekick is not being treated as a cute little thing with sugary lines. I'm wondering what is going to happen if they ever get to the point of the current b&w's in the Dr Who monthly, though. The artwork there is definitely not the type that is easily coloured. New Teen Titans #4 Raven bites the biggee..or does she? If you like blood and violence, this is the one to go for. The artwork is good, and the story (finally!) appears to be heading towards the end. Where did Jericho skip off to? He isn't just lying in the streets somewhere, is he? This issue does answer the question 'where did all the other superheroes go?', though. Infinity Inc #9 Well, this one will be over with soon, finally. Gee, the Harlequin finally shows up. 'Good luck kids'? Do we see maternity rearing it's head? I would like to see another topic discussed, though. Crossfire #4 Truely one of the most depressing comics on the stands today. Hero saves young girl, and young girl goes back to same situation...Does he still have fluorocarbons instead of his blood ? Flash #341 I think the Flash is the whipping boy of DC. Now he gets his face caved in, besides all the other garbage that has happened to him in the last few years (weeks his time). I can't wait for issue #350. They'll probably blow up Central City, or convict Flash of the murder, or something fun like that. X-Men # 189 Crossover heaven. We get to see Amara, and Rachel out and about. The 'flash-ahead' to the Rachel's future was rather appalling. O.C. strikes again, we see. Selene makes one heckuva Black Queen, though. We have a #200 in one year, I hope they don't blow it (although if Shooter takes it, it probably will be garbage). That's it for this week! Laurie {allegra,harpo,ihnp4}pur-ee!pucc-k!afo
