Fantastic – Great – Good – Average – Mediocre – Poor
Grendel: Behold the Devil #0: A nice primer to the story of the Grendel, Hunter Rose. The issue comes with a 4 page interview of creator/writer/artist Matt Wagner detailing the history of Grendel.
Countdown #40: A one panel appearance of the new Question – yeah! This is a fairly strong issue with great writing and average art. Jason, Donna, “Bob,” and Ryan still search for Ray Palmer. Piper and Trickster receive sanctuary from the Penguin. Mary continues to be angry. And Jimmy saves the day as Mr. Action.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 8 #5: The issue reminds me why Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of my all-time favorite TV shows. Even in the comic book format Joss Whedon is a master storyteller. This is the best single issue of a comic this year – probably won’t be beat, either. It was perfect down to the last beautiful page.
Green Arrow: Year One #2: The origin rolls on. Spectacular art by Jock.
“I should run. Hide. But that was the old Oliver Queen. That’s not who I am anymore. I’m a hunter. …And now I’m pissed.”Wonder Woman #11: Pretty art as the Amazons continue to attack. A nice cliffhanger with a full page splash of Athena, goddess of wisdom and war.
Hawkgirl #66: A fitting end to a series that started out as Hawkman before changing guard. Still a big fan of the Hawks, I will continue to follow their adventures in the pages of the JSA and JLA comics.
