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... -- Laurie Sefton {harpo,ihnp4,allegra,decvax}!pur-ee!pucc-h!afo ~As he lay out the tarot, the devil and death, two old and very dear friends of mine, appeared.~
