The Quick and the Read #8 – More comic book reviews so soon? You gotta be kidding me…
Filed under: Comic Book Reviews, The Quick and The Read
Here we are for another installment of comic book reviews that everyone has already commented on to death. I realized that I had missed writing reviews and found the last installment therapeutic, so I made an effort to write up some more. With the book gearing up again, I definitely need the practice.
Batman #678 - Morrison’s “Batman R.I.P.” story is getting freakier by the second, but I have to say that I am enjoying it, even though he is messing with Batman. I just love how he is sneaking in all of those classic pieces of Batman history that were at one time wiped out by the first Crisis. I look forward to reading this title every month.
Final Crisis: Rouges’ Revenge #1 of 3 - Just another example of the quality comics that I expect from Geoff Johns. Really good stuff that makes me wish Johns was back on the Flash, but I will settle for him taking over the Legion J You listening DC?? Seriously, I really loved this first issue. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
Justice Society of America #17 - Once again, Johns wows me with his writing skill. Not many writers can have this many characters to deal with and give them all such distinct personalities.  This is another title that I look forward to every month, and the homage to heroes past makes this one of my true favorites to read. I highly recommend it.
Batman #1-3 - I am really torn on this series so far. The story is interesting, but I have never really cared for Kelley Jones’ art. I don’t hate it, but I don’t really like it that much either. I doubt that I will hang around for 12 issues.
Tangent: Superman’s Reign #2-5 - I never read any of the Tangent stuff the first time around. For whatever reason it never interested me. I got the first issue of this series out of curiosity, and I have to say it is pretty good. The history back up stories have been a good read as well. I am glad that I stuck around.
Green Lantern Corps #26 - Peter Tomasi has really surprised me since he started writing this title. He has been one of the few that I have seen that has been able to write the Green Lantern Corp since their rebirth a few years ago. This issue was really good, and this is another title that I look forward to reading each month.
