I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

the Spirit #21 - DC
The story this issue was a tad better, but . . I still found myself bored and starting to drift off. I'm really not sure how they can make this book more interesting. I mean, this guy really doesn't have any powers. He's an adequate detective, but . . mostly he just stumbles into things. And this thing with him and Dolan's daughter? You'd think that unrequited love would only be unrequited for so long before it either turns to scorn or stalking. Maybe that's what would help . . turn Dolan's daughter into a Spirit stalker. She could make his life uncomfortable . . pop up in little teddies here and there, when he least expects it . . have him pull embarrassing undergarments out of his pockets, or wherever, that she's strategically left behind or in hiding . . convince her 'daddy' that they're engaged or have a date set . . any number of humorous things. He would think it was cute or humorous at first, but, eventually, he'd be looking over his shoulder at all times. The irony would be that she's stalking him as it's a gender reversal. All I know is that there was an issue . . several issues ago . . that had a lot more sexual innuendo in it . . and it made the book a lot more interesting. It's a comic. Have fun with it. Right now, mostly, I see it as an initiator of a nap.
