Comic catchup Reviews
Jun. 17th, 2005 01:23 pm
Okay, so I'm about 3 weeks behind with comic reviews. Does anyone even read them anyway? If I get no response I'll stop bothering. But if anyone has an interest in reading my thoughts on comics I'll keep putting reviews up and try and keep more up to date.
Since I have so many reviews to catch up with, I'm gonna do short, one line reviews for most titles this week, and a star mark out of 5. If people'll find a star mark helpful I'll keep it…
Anyway, this month I read:
CATWOMAN #43
A fairly solid issue, but very middle of the road. A tie in the the "Black Mask" stories apparently as Catwoman and Onyx (a character I don't know) team up to defeat Killer Croc. At best, average and worse than the preceding story that got me back on board.
RATING - **
DAREDEVIL #73
About five pages of story stretched to a whole issue. Boring, I'm sorry to say. As much as can be has been done with the art, but it was a dull issue where the slight story stretched over so many pages makes it one of Bendis' poorest issues. Maybe it'll stand out better in the arc.
RATING - *
DISTRICT X #14
A good issue to end the series on, I guess, since from here on in it changes to Mutantopia and then disappears entirely. This was a good, solid, two-parter and if the titled had more of these rather than the drawn out storylines, I would have been happier. As a story focusing on the rather dismal life of some District X mutants it was a success. I won't miss the title but if there had been more stuff like this, I would.
RATING - ****
