Some More Reviews

Not a really large week again for me, but there did seem to be a plethora of Bat Books.

Amecom Girls #1

Normally I wouldn't be touching this with a 10 foot pole, but heck, it IS Wonder Woman, and it IS Amanda Conner, and heck, it's Palmiotti too.  And you know what?  It was good silly fun.  Well, actually not THAT silly, but still fun.  The fight with the Minotaurs was adorable.  Steve Trevor is also adorable. 

Not the greatest Wonder Woman story ever told, but it certainly isn't the worst.


Batman #13

Holy Crap!  This...is genuinely disturbing, a little scary and rather beautifully done.  Lovely art as always by Capullo, and Snyder is fast becoming one of my favorite writers, no small feat considering that I don't even really LIKE Batman all that much. 

The Joker is back, and he's even more terrifying that usual.  He has an agenda, and he's got all of the Bat Family running around like chickens with their heads cut off.  Also, the second story at the back with Harley Quinn was spooky as all get out.

This was good.  Really really good.


Batman & Robin #13

This was also very good.  Bats and Damian have a rather nice heart-to-heart talk as Bruce takes his baby boy up to the Satellite during an eclipse...just to show him how to take care of things...in case.  And showing him the eclipse from this point of view was pretty cool too. 

And there are zombies.  I'm a bit puzzled by this.  Could the zombies be tied into what is going on in the Green Lantern books, with Black Hand and the Third Army, or is this a seperate Zombie event?  Hard to tell in comic books sometimes. 

But again, very good.


Demon Knights #13

Etrigan has managed to seperate himself from Jason Blood, and all of the gang are in Hell, being tortured in various ways.  Good thing that Sir Ytsin has drunk from the Grail.  Also, Etrigan isn't quite sure that he likes Xanadu being his brainless mindless puppet...if that is indeed what she is.

Lucifer is hanging around, as he would certainly be doing.  Vandal Savage doesn't give two hoots about being tortured.  Merlin's body isn't decaying so something is still going on, in Etrigan's quest to get Avalon.  Or whatever he actually has up his demon sleeve.

I do like this book.  It's always beautifully drawn, and a heck of a good read.


Green Lantern Corps #13

Why those little Blue Bastards!
