DC Comics Bareback Reviews for July 12th
The boys are lettin' me sit in the review chair this week. Let's giddyup and see what's worth readin!
52 Week 10: Slow as molasses. Thought you said it was gonna pick up by now, Mr. Rucka? Look at what happens to Metropolis in one day over in Superman 654--it gets attacked a half dozen times in one day by super-villains! 52 seems like Days of Our Lives at this point. The only thing I'm stickin' around for now is the lesbian Batwoman. If there's one element that can improve any story, it's gotta be lesbians.
American Virgin 5: Adam doesn't lose his cherry this issue. Is this gonna wind up bein' 70 issues of blueballs? I think this book needs some lesbians!
Firestorm the Nucular Man 27: Now here's a feller who can tell a solid story, Mr. Stuart Moore. The whole Jason-Martin-Lorraine triangle gets resolved faster than Trigger got stuffed and mounted. Which is pretty shocking, considering that Stein was dead at the end of the previous issue! Too bad we didn't learn more about that Pupil dude, he's downright creepy. There's a lot more to come; old-timers who remember Firestorm Vol. 1 will get a mule-kick out of the last page. I don't really cotton to this Gehenna gal. She's cute as a button and all that, but ain't she too young for Jason? Wikipedia says she's a five year old gal in a teenager body! If that was you or me, pardners, we'd be locked up in the hothouse.
Superman 654: It's a day in the life of Clark Kent as he juggles his various roles (husband, reporter, superhero) on a special anniversary that he shares with Lois. The first person narration reminds me of that Samaritan tale that Mr. Busiek wrote over in Astro City. As you young fellers say, this here story is "hella" dandy, and so is the artwork by Mr. Carlos Pacheco. Lots of threads are strewn about for future chapters, though I'm scratchin' my head over Lana Lang takin over Lexcorp. How come Lana ain't a skinny young Asian chick? Just kiddin', pardners, though my chief advisor, Joe Bob, does prefer Kristin Kreuk over Kate Bosworth, though not necessarily over Erica Durance! Where the hell did those links come from? Joe Bob, if you keep lookin at them gals, you'll be in the hothouse!
Ten-four, that's another week in the life of DC Comics! Nuff said.
