Week of December 19, 2007 Super Short Reviews :o

Mew mew! :D

This is me not sleeping >_>;; Holidays are bad to me xD

So I got many comics this week but none were rly the "big" comics as I view them. xD Catwoman may be being dropped again as she's going into Salvation Run and I need to save money. >_>

Kk neways this is what I got:

Birds of Prey - #113
Catwoman - #74
Checkmate - #21
Countdown Presents: The Search for Ray Palmer: Superwoman/Batwoman - #1 (One Shot)
Detective Comics - #839
Superman - #671

:o That Countdown title needs to be WAYYYY shorter >:| From now on it's "Countdown: Reverseverse" xDDD

Opay, so here are the super short reviews :D

Birds of Prey - #113 - Good! But sad :O And crazy! I thought something else happened at the end but mebbe it did. I get the feeling that what we thought happened, didn't actually happen. xD Superman is in King Superman Jerkface mode again >.> What's funny tho is that something happened similar to what sparked Marvel's Civil War but registration's not on the table here xDDDD But this is the DCU after all XD The way they reached the end tho felt very rushed and very contrived (and a tad unbelievable to me) which is why I suspect there's more going on. :D For now tho... 3/5 :]

Catwoman - #74 - Nothing much happened here. :\ A new villain was introduced and... Catwoman is going off to Salvation Run. :\ There seemed to be no point except to quickly put Selina in the personality and appearance that the writers for Salvation Run want her to be in. >.> 1/5

Checkmate - #21 - I rly liked this issue b/c it explores the history and background of one of the supporting characters that we rly dunno much about at all :D There's a bit of a gender reversal thing going on too that I find neat b/c they play it off realistically without seeming like they're going "hay look how smart and edgy I am" but without hurting the character either. :) Now that the set up to Salvation Run is finally over, Checkmate seems to be getting back into the swing of things and I luff htat :D I can't wait for the next part :) 4/5

Countdown: Reverseverse - #1 (One Shot) - I rly enjoyed this story :D Lots! xD It was rly fun to watch the heroes with their personalities intact (for the most part xD) but just genders reversed. :D It was neat to see costumes on female heroes that were designed to look primarily cool like male costumes (cuz they ARE the male costumes) rather than for men to gawk at. xDD On the downside, the art is incredibly inconsistant (b/c of many artists working on the book) and some of the art is just plain awful. :( Still, I rly liked it :D 4/5

Detective Comics - #839 - Another Bat family crossover fails to live up to the potential of the set up. :\ I'm extremely dissapointed in this story since it was a big fight but ultimately the status quo was completely reinstated and ppl act out of character just to keep the status quo enforced. :\ Also there's a MAJOR deus ex machina to "Save us" from something cool actually happening for once! >:O It's silly and dumb. It's bad enuf to fake a "dramatic turning point" as a cliffhanger between issues, it's even worse to do it IN an issue >:O 1.5/5

Superman - #671 - This was a weird story. :o Given that we're finally done with Camelot Falls, it's kinda nice to have a break where Superman punches giant bugs xD But it's also not that interesting. It just kinda.. is. :\ I dun rly have much to judge until next issue. :( It's sorta meh for me. 2.5/5

Kk so that's it :D

I need to sleep now :(

I'll put up some longer reviews eventually.. xD I'm busy with holiday stuffs as you can imagine :)

Baibais :D

Edit: Thanks so much to Filby for pointing out that the information going around about how Earth-11 is a paradise is actually incorrect and it was Earth-51 that was being referred to as having no crime. :D Earth-11 still has crime (otherwise why would there be superheroes? :D) and nothing has changed except the genders of the heroes. However, society has not changed, and the leaders are not women, etc. Only the genders of the heroes have been swapped. :D
