Last Week In Comics: Full of Bat-Stuff

SpaceBooger’s weekly review of last weeks comics is back giving a fresh take on 5-day-old comics:

Well, I'll ask him, but I don't zink he'll be very keen... Uh, he's already got one, you see.

How can I resist a Monty Python reference… or the fact that the dino is easily seen in every Bat-Cave shot.

Have you ever read a comic book... on weed?

Superman & Batman 46 was the BEST COMIC OF LAST WEEK!Last month we saw Aquaman stand up to both Batman and Superman laying a little “Eco-Guilt” on both heroes, mainly the Man of Steel. Apparently Aquaman’s guilt trip only lasted as long as his monthly series because Bats and Supes are once again ridding the world of Kryptonite. This month’s quest puts Superman in contact with what Red Arrow calls “Magic-K.” What is magic K you ask, well it seems to be the equivalent to marijuana to Kryptonians. Superman Batman #46 is the JLU meets Half Baked, with a little Monty Python and the Holy Grail to make it easily the best comic of last week.

I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for...

Batman Confidential 13 Scooby-Doo mask wearing Batman gave me happy flashbacks of the Jim Arpo days, which is appropriate since this series takes place during the Disco Nightwing days.

I always wondered how Batman’s ears fit under those masks?

Everyday I hear this!

Birds of Prey 115 put me through the same trite arguments I hear from my middle schoolers everyday. The plot between Misfit and Black Alice does nothing for me and seems to be moving too slow to be going anywhere either.

I like dogs too...

Robin 171 marks the return of the “Red Bird.” I find it awesome that Chuck Dixon is back and all of a sudden so is the Red Bird. Dixon can write a good story but the Spoiler stuff seems forced, but I like the detective work and am glad that Dixon is continuing the detective aspect of the book from before his return.

Quick Reviews

Amazing Spider-Man 551: This issue gets my “Meh” award for the week. The dialog is great as is the humor, but the story is so-so. I would highly suggest reading this issue and continuing the series because since Brand New Day began each issue ties together smoothly without the “wait for the trade” feel.

Batman and the Outsiders 4: Lets bring in a new character to the team to fight another member of the team - twice. Yeah, thats about it other than a reprogrammed “good” OMAC named “REMAC” that can shape shift in the same visual manner as Mystique from the X-Men movies.

Catwoman 76: A great read, a fun read with Selina having Superman type powers on an alternate Earth. Like I said fun, but I see no real point to the issue.

Countdown 10: This was so bad that I… purchased and read it anyway. I am so invested in this series and yet it has so let me down recently. I have been complaining for the rushed story the last couple of weeks. I feel that the rushing of the story is ruining characterizations that were formed at the beginning, now the art is joining in. The art for this issue was horrible… no witty criticisms, it was that bad.

Justice League of America 18: Slow and action packed… This story could have been done in one issue instead of being broken into three parts (the third part coming next month) instead we get what could be the middle of a great story with a better back-up. Yes the Red Tornado story is far better than the extended version of Sanctuary.

Superman Confidential 12: Yeah, this one is not doing it for me. Both Confidential books are hit or miss with me so I will not be picking up the rest of this Toy Man story. I’ll try again next arc.
