a little late, but what the heck...


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!
