Madame Mirage First Look: It's okay, really, but then for 99 cents, it doesn't need to be exceptional. The concept intrigues me some, so we'll see... All-Star Batman #5: Wherein Frank Miller shows that he has an even worse understanding of Wonder Woman than he does of Superman... and that is rather frightening. This comic is so bad it's hilarious, honestly. Nobody is even remotely in character, the dialogue is absolutely laughable, and I don't get why All-Star WW is even there. This book is atrociously written, and nowhere near worth the delay of an entire year, but it's at least bad in an entertaining way. Cable/Deadpool #40: I have no idea what's going on in this story at all. That's not Fabian's fault, though... it looks like he got sucked into a crossover with Carey's X-Men book. It's annoying, though, because I refuse to read Bachalo or Ramos art to understand what's going on here. This book is sliding off the rails, lately, though the Deadpool stuff has been pretty good. Exiles #94: A pretty standard Claremont ending these days. Kind of a deus ex machina, but otherwise solid enough, with some decent character moments. I think AoA Sabretooth is going to be the standout character in this run, judging by what I've seen. JLA #9: I remember the Pre-Crisis Legion, so it's good to see Dawnstar again. The bit with Timber Wolf is clever, some of the character interplay is good, and I like the setup being done with the Ultra-Humanite. The structure of the Lightning Saga so far has been formulaic, though... JLA and JSA team up to track down the old Legionnaires, complications ensue, they succeed. Hopefully the final payoff is worth it, but for now I have some reservations. X-Factor #19: I have to hand it off to PAD for being the only one to bother to do anything worthwhile with the horrible idea that was Decimation. The X-Cell is an interesting idea, and as always, PAD writes a great Pietro. Good stuff. Batman #665: Now this is how you write a good Batman comic. This book succeeds in making All-Star Batman look worse by being vastly better. I like all the mysteries surrounding the Black Casebook and the setup for Damian's return. Next issue should be promising.  |

and I don't get why All-Star WW is even there. It's probably because Miller wants to set up the pairing between Sperm Bank Hater and That Clown From Metropolis as seen in DK2. |

More than likely, Spider, yes. The character reason just mystifies me, though. I was wondering why WW bothers with man's world if she hates it so much. Oh, right. Because this way Batman can make her look like a twit. How silly of me to forget. ;D |
