Comic Book Wednesday
Sunday, August 27

Birds of Prey #97... wow, 97 issues. I didn't even really realize it was that close. They better do something to make things interesting. Cause this issue wasn't.
New Avengers #23, continuing it's run of focusing on different team members during civil war. This issue focuses on Spider-Woman, and I enjoyed what's happening here.
Supergirl #9. Hey, this book is good again. Kind of a day in the life of issue, focusing on a "date" of sorts with... Captain Boomerang? Yeah, she's jailbait, and it's mentioned... that's why I don't think it was a serious date, however I enjoyed the conversations between the two. Also a little scene where Supergirl visits Batman to sell off a piece of Kryptonian technology so she can have enough money to basicly not have to ever worry about paying rent for the rest of her life. I enjoyed it because in it Bruce truely acts like an uncle to her. Kinda nice.
Astonishing X-Men #16. Well, it's official... I like this title. This issue was a really quick read, but a good one. Mostly focusing in on Kitty Pride. Had a nice little "through the wall" punch moment. Good talent on this book.
Catwoman #58: A never ending storyline. Ever since the One Year Later jump, it's been this one, damned storyline. It was good at first, now... I want it over. The one thing to come from this issue was a tease to whom the baby's daddy is.
52 #16: A crossover of characters finds Renee and the Question present at Black Adam and Isis' wedding. I know that this series is all leading up to something, but even when the "whole picture" isn't really clear at this point, I'm still loving a weekly DC series.
Blue Beetle #6: I'm sticking around for just a little bit longer. That's all I have to say.
Flash #3: Ditto.
Batman #656: Holy Ninja Man-Bats Batman! Yeah, um... that's an interesting concept. Although I never really liked the Man-Bat. I think Morrison has just been sitting on that idea for a while and finally found a place to put it in a comic. However the big shocker ending? Batman has a son. Cool. Do it. Move these characters along damn it. At least it happened first in a comic book than some summer blockbuster film.... grrr... I better not start on this one... you're a marked man Brian Singer!!!!
Wonder Woman #2.... HEY! It came out! It was better than the first issue at least. I wonder if this will start making monthly status anytime soon.
Lastly the return of the Justice League. Just so ya'll know, here's the line up: Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Black Lighting, Vixen, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Arsenal, Black Canary, and Red Tornado. A nice mix n' match from previous incarnations plus... Arsenal. I don't think people really saw that one coming. But I like that he graduated to JLA status. Move characters a long.
It's kind of like Flash vs. the Riddler and Batman vs. Lex Luthor. Character interactions that are out of their environment so to speak. I enjoy those.
