Reviews from this week's plunder...


Tales of the Teen Titans #51:  A reasonable follow up issue for the
wedding.  Looks like lots of bloody good fun for an issue or two.
And then, we'll finally get around to issue #54 (they keep referring
to it).  So, Joe Wilson (Jericho) is recognised as a heartbreaker by
members of the DC universe.  Thought he was drawn like that to
interest the more lustful of the female readers....:-) And who
left Cheshire with the child?

The New Teen Titans #6:  A wonderful issue. No fighting
super-nasties, no earth shaking crises, just a magnificent allotment
of character development. Terry is one of the best 'normal'
characters to come along in years.  You do keep forgetting that
these characters are only 16-19 years old.  I hope *if* Lilith stays
around, she doesn't become a 'weaker' version of Raven. Also, not a
20th century version of Dream Girl.  Nice slam of the press and the
hucksters in this also.

X-Men #191:  This was *awful*.  I mean dreadful.  Words don't
describe how ***bad*** this issue was.  Where did Warlock pop in
from?  And the ending... oh GLOS, how contrived.  Really, really
bad.

Zot #6:  Back to the good stuff again.  I could really learn to like
9jack9. I haven't seen someone so in love with his work since
Arcade.  Looks like Drufus bit the biggee this issue (then again,
one never knows).  Did 9jack9 kill Zot's parents on the King's
orders?  Is Zot going to be massively motivated to help the royal
house because of that.  ('sorry royal house; you can go bite it.
You offed my family')  I liked the portfolio of Dekko's art.  Hope
they can manage to get this mag out on a regular schedule.


Dr fate #3:  Nice reprint.  Are they ever going to come up with new
materiel, or is this it?

DNAgents #16:  GLOS and everyone did the pencilling for this, and it
shows.  It takes a lot of care not to make Amber look 'piggy', and
some of these artists don't have it.  A nice crossover from
Crossfire.  I wish that they would take care of:

	1.  Amber's brain
	2.  Tank's virginity
	3.  The 'attack' of Matrix

soon, though. I think things are getting a little dragged out.

Blue Devil #10:  Good, solid issue.  Nothing earth-shaking, a guest
appearance by Wonder Woman. I think they are saving the jollies for
#11.  The trident is turning into an interesting piece of machinery,
I think BD is going to be the most suprised when it really starts to
show some mystical forces...

hmmm, that's it for this week....

Ambush Bug is coming soon, and finally, the crisis of infinite
earths will start later this month...
