One Line Per Comic: 05/21/08 Edition

Angel: After The Fall Directors Cut #1-

What can I say I'm a sucker for commentary tracks.

Batman And The Outsiders #7

I'm loving this comic more and more. Really great take on Metamorpho's powers.

Birds Of Prey # 118

Ya know guys not every character in the DCU needs to be related to every other character ok?

The Brave And The Bold #13

Much better than last issue. Nice to see Batman showing some respect to those who came before.

Checkmate #26

New writer and I think new artist. Not too bad. I'll definitely hang for a bit.

Countdown To Mystery #8

Eclipso part is shrug worthy. Fate part is neat tribute to Steve Gerber but leaves me wondering which version is “real”.

Dreamwar #2

Curiouser and curiouser said little Alice.

The Dresden Files #2

If the books are half as awesome I definitely need to dig into them. The art is perfect too.

The End League #3

I hate deconstructionistic super hero stories and I really really hate post apocalypse stories. But I love End League which should tell you something.

Fantastic Four #557

MM has one more story arc to make good or I dump his ass. Oh and trying to force me to buy a comic that I have no interest in? Instant fail for Marvel.

JSA #15

Well they just keep turning up the heat don't they.

JLA #21

Further proof of the massive disservice they did by relegating Dwayne McDuffie to writing a back up feature for four issues.

The Programme #11

Did we really need 12 isues to tell this story? I think not.

Robin #174

Spoiler's ID revealed. Yeah, okay. I'll buy that explanation.

Star Trek: Assignment Earth #1

It's okay.

Star Wars: Legacy #24

The only downside is that this more than anything points up the limited and cyclical nature of Lucas' GFFA. But the upside makes it more than worth it.

Tangent: Superman's Reign #3

I'm glad to see them revisiting the Tangent concept but I'm not sure how happy I am that they felt they needed to cross over with the main DCU.

X-Factor #31

The best X title on the stands period.

X-Men: Divided We Stand #2

meh.

And now for the weekly awards!
