If the first issue was an A-, this one’s a solid C+. Why? DECOMPRESSION!!! You know what Marvel, if I’m going to shell out $3.99 for a comic, I want more pages of story not just thicker cardstock!

The best part of the book was seeing how clearly Clint’s sentimentality is affecting the logic centers of his brain. Dude, get a grip! That’s not Cap and that’s probably not your wife. Why does Bendis torture him so? WHY?!?

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is in my Top 5 movies of all-time, so I came in with some seriously serious reservations about this book. But, I like Christos Gage, he’s the new “Matt Fraction!”, and I thought I’d give it a shot. What I found inside was a mixed bag. The art was adequate but not mind-blowing. The writing wasn’t mush better...

The issue opens with the death of a slayer, a really horrific display and we are reminded that while many share the power, Buffy is still the first and thus the leader. While Buffy generally irritates me, I totally sympathize with her as she is shocked and yet she can’t be consumed with it because she has to deal with it. She has to cut her down and take her back to headquarters and figure out a way to keep more girls from dying. And of course she broods and thinks that she has to do everything herself and then here comes Willow to smack her and say, “Hey remember me? You’re friend with powers? Let me make you a blanket.”

I may have missed this but is there no more Battle of the Century?:disappoin

yeah, because of the timezone difference and the conflicting schedules, it just became too much of a hassle at the end. but, we're still good friends and you may just see something from the two of us on read/RANT! in the future.

My fellow Greek! I am so glad you got a review! :cool:

by Foilball

Sean McKeever, why must you confound me so? Your abysmal run on Teen Titans is unreadable, and that’s putting it kindly, yet your Birds of Prey has been a complete joy! Did Simone leave a plot outline to follow? Did Johns throw you to the wolves? Is that the difference? Am I close? Anyway, enough whining, regardless of your track record on other books, this one’s a clear winner. In lieu of a proper review, I’ll instead list the Top Five reasons why I love Birds of Prey...

Desiato will be previewing the card tonight/tomorrow morning and i'll be following it with a very special Origin Stories later on that afternoon. should be fun. thanks for reading! :)

Holy Batbamf! She's like a hotter and less blue Nightcrawler.


On a side note, Hey Billy why no love for the Misfit in Vs.

hmm, i wonder if we could get away with putting her in a Marvel set?

You might be able to at least give her a nod in a version of Nightcrawler.

Whenever Nighcrawler attacks yell bampff! and ready him. Use once per turn.
