Weekly comic yammerings
Feb. 13th, 2014 09:06 pmJustice League 3000 #3
Felt like a bit of a filler issue to me, to be honest. Supposedly we're going to start to learn about the JL3000's origin in the next issue, which is promising, at least. Also, I still haven't reacted to Barry's death because I just don't buy that he's actually, truly dead. (Plus he keeps appearing on comic covers for future issues. Covers can lie, but I'm pretty sure they don't depict characters who are already dead.)
Batman #28
So this was the "flash forward" issue, the sneak peak into Batman: Eternal. My feelings were overwhelmingly neutral. I don't have any prior attachment to Stephanie Brown, so I was like "eh, whatever," when she showed up at the end. I also have no idea who Harper is, but I will say she's pretty badass. Still, I miss the rest of the Batfamily. Where are Alfred, Babs, Dick, and Tim?? (The art was pretty in this issue, though.)
Hawkeye
Gave this series a try. Not a fan. I heard the art was very stylized, but personally I didn't really like it. Also, everyone acts like a jerk in this series, including Kate Bishop (whom I knew from Young Avengers), which I didn't like.
Black Widow
Also not a fan of this series. The art style is...unique, I'll give it that, but the storytelling leaves me feeling really meh. Also, the issue in which every Chinese character died was pretty cringe-worthy.
Superboy
I was curious as to what was going on in this series after Jon Kent took over, and my God, it's terrible. I have no idea what's happening except that it's so bad.
