Review Time!!! (10/3: part 1)

This week was okay on numbers. I got Countdown 30, Dominatrix #2, JLA: Hitman #2, Action Comics #856, Detective Comics #837 and (in backissue) Booster Gold #1 & Madame Mirage #2. Due to a weird schedule and my sudden infatuation with Maple Story/working on re-drawing some of my old comics I've only read the first two on that list so far so...


Dominatrix #2... I continued to pick this up for a couple reasons. First and foremost being, well, she's a frickin' Professional Dom! Did I ever mention I'd flirted with the thought of persuing that sort of career before? Total respect for the profession here! Ahem... Moving along. Ummm... It was okay. I enjoy the art(that being the second reason I continued with it) and the story is okay. Bothers the hell out of me whenever she's in her Domming clothes and her hair is suddenly a hell of alot longer. Personally I don't care for a Dom in a mask either. Blah... 

Back to the story though. I'm not sure what to think on it. It's okay though I dislike the sexually charged insults and slurs thrown about by her advasaries. It unsettles me and that, coupled with the last page, makes me rather uncomfortable. I get that she'd been captured. That she wakes up wearing her clothes she wasn't when she fell asleep already tells me she'd been redressed by these men that captured her. Tis alright though... it's happened in a couple comics(not that I like it). But then you have her wake up to a gun her her face, her arms and legs chained in an X formation, and weilder of said gun yelling at her to swallow a pill while cursing calling her a skank. Yes... sounds like a dashing good scene. *disgust* Yes, I'll admit I doubt it's going in a sexual direction with this but that scene is too vile for me to care for. Especially with the way my mind's been working lately(don't ask). Yeah... not so sure I'll be picking up #3...


Now for Countdown 30. Twas enjoyable to an extent. Damned Olsen didn't blow up as I'd hoped. Don't the writers realise how much a happier place the DCU would be without the annoying fool? Oh well... At least he ended up in the sewers. *turns page* Heh, I like Jokester. Poor guy, surrounded by people with bad histories with clowns. Granted Jason has a pretty good reason, there's no need to take it out on the poor guy. I like this Earth's Wondy. The shirt vs. the itty bitty spandex shorts/binikish bottoms(can't think of the word...) I perfer the shirt.... Though overall nothing beats Wondy in smexy pirate pants: http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/4152816.html

Moving along it jumps back to the fight at the BC/GA Wedding. Is it wrong I feel sorry for Ivy when Trickster/Piper throw the exploding TV at her. She's not herself right now. The Ivy the fandom knows and loves would NEVER team up for this foolishness no reason to hit her with that lest it'll knock some sense into her and bring back her 'sanity'. Anywho... Once that's done with Trickster/Piper make it to the getaway car only to be carjacked by the dude in the backseat. If I were Piper I might have attempted to explain that if he slit my throat(i.e. the driver) then the only place they're going is over a cliff... Reminds me of what a cab driver friend of mine told me what his boss told him to do at times similar to this(granted with the divider no woe on the knife at throat so it's more about guns...). Basically when someone tries to hold up your cab with you driving you put your foot on the pedal and drive as fast as you can. Anyone stupid enough to shoot the driver of a fast moving vehicle is a damn fool and it gets the cops attention too. Granted I doubt the cops are anyone Piper/Trickster would enjoy attracting the attention of.

Back to the other Earth... BatJason & normal Jason get in a fight, SuperZod shows up, & Wondy15 and Donna chat. *shrug* Nothing too much for my care. Though I do admit SuperZod creeps me out. *turns page* So we have a continuation on the Holly story. *tries to contain laughter* My goddess Harley Quinn is fantasmic and right on cue here. Just as Holly's pointed out you'd have to be insane to jump in the water with the giant blind shark-like creatures, so there goes Harley jumping in with spear held high shouting "Cowabunga!". "Aaaaaaannnnd there goes lunatic Harley Quinn to prove my point." I couldn't stop laughing for a few moments there.

So that's it for the reviews at the moment, I have to get back to adding values to my drawing for art class(which I have to be at in less than 8 ours and still fit in time for sleep, hopefully; a shower; and another drawing)
