Review Time! 10/17
Hmmm... I can't seem to find my comics from last week, this worries me. I have one place I haven't looked yet so let's hope they're there. In the meantime let's go over this past week.
Yeah... this week Countdown it was so damn boring. Complete waste of money. Not even Shadowpact could have saved it(despite being in it). The only part that held my attention for longer than it took to skim was that with Trickster & Piper. They do have their amusing moments I'll admit.
As I read this I still can't figure how why the hell Ivy is apart of this. All she does in Justice League of America #14 is get electrocuted. Really, nothing else. I swear... Okay she attempts to fight leading to the electrocution but really, that doesn't count.
Ignoring this travesty let's focus on the actual story. As we know the majority of the JLA has beenkid superhero-napped by the Injustice League and it's up to Supes & Black Lightning to save the day. Thought it was a poor choice in art when Lex shows Supes/Lightning the other heros bound and oddly only Wondy, Vixen, & Canary are shown centerpage with their arms & legs bounded separate w/ chests thrust out. Blah. All the others are bound in seat like things & Bats is hanging from the ceiling in a straight jacket and chains(okay that was pretty amusing) so why are only these three shown like this? Bad oversexualizing bondage/torture. Bitches.
So anywho Lex reveals his plan to simply piss Supes off to the point he can't fight well. He then switches off the hologram of him leaving Supes to find out where the team is being held. Approaching the hologram projector Supes gets a face full of Kryptonite paint. Then hilarity ensues:
Best page, seriously.
So the story goes on. Blah, blah, blah, Supes/Lightning find the bad guys, blah, blah, blah, big fight, blah, blah, blah, Supes gets his arse handed to him and this is supposed to be the page where you go 'OMG?! I can't wait to see what happens next!'
No Lex, we don't want to see you make out with Supes. Thanks for asking though.
Predictions for JLA #15: Good guys win, bad guys go down. If not that then some cheesy attempt at a sad storyline event(Geoforce dies?)

Birds of Prey #111 was, like 110, a pretty good read though just a filler. Nothing wrong with a filler I just hope the next one will start a new storyline before this filler dealy gets old. Anywho...
In this story we join Babs striking out on her own to a computer convention thingie. Though it isn't for fun. Seems that when the clocktower got blown up not everything was destroyed. In fact a bit of information regarding the real identity/existence of Oracle, *le gasp*, was left behind. Semi-fortunately the guy who found it was tortured & killed before he could sell the information. Unfortunately he saved the data onto the Macroware mainframe with can only be accessed from inside the Macroware building. So logically, she sets out to hack the mainframe from the inside and destroy the data.
The drawback? Calculator is there was well looking to learn the identity of Oracle so that he can kill him/her. Obsessive freak. Anywho just as he's about to hack the mainframe he runs into Babs looking to do the same thing. So to cover themselves from being discovered the both fake being lost and end up having lunch together. Hilarity ensues. Here we have Oracle & Calculator eating lunch together with no clue who the other is. As though that wasn't enough Calculator acutally begins to get a crush on her. lmao. It was fantasmic.
Anywho all creepy things must eventually come to an end and the two split off and sneak back to the computer room. This time they don't see one another and manage to get into the mainframe, only to engage in a battle on the computer. Fun geek fight moment. Yet Oracle prevails deleting the data before Calculator can see it letting out a cry of joy in the process. Unfortunately being in the same room Calculator hears her and comes after her with Hellcat & a gun. Just when it looks like she might actually be in trouble the cavalry arrives... nope. Not Black Canary. Not Huntress. Not Blackhawk. Not Misfit. Not any of the BOP.
It's nerds to the rescue. Damn that was hilarious.

I love coming up with the titles for these review. Can you tell? Anywho Brave & the Bold #7 pretty much sucked, sans a majority of the art.
Since when does Powergirl not only think that Wondy is a pompous entirely-too-good-her-own-good bitch AND spend half the issue ranting about it. I mean seriously. What the fuck. As though that powerdickery wasn't enough...
No, no context for you. Those pages made this totally worth it to read yet the context behind them completely ruins it. *knods*
((oh and for the art problems of the book just look at the position of the hole on Powergirl's top on the second page. Where the hell are her nipples?! ;p))
*feels the need to find Wondy/Powergirl slash*
^.^
So that's all the reviews for this week. I'm going to go back to sketching charcoal skulls. *fun!*
