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 #22 - DC
I'm still just not getting in to this book. I really do appreciate all the talent that's involved on this title . . . Sergio Aragones & Mark Evanier on the scripts, and Chad Hardin and Wayne Faucher with the art, but . . I just can't get in to the stories. I just find them boring and rather simple. This issue was about a magic story, and . . it was all rather predictable. And when there is the opportunity for some more adult humor, or innuendo, between the Spirit and Ellen . . the don't capitalize on it. I mean, Ellen's a good looking girl, and she's putting herself out there for him . . you'd think he'd at least do some good natured flirting or something. That wouldn't necessarily change how I feel about the book, but, at least, it would make it more interesting. Right? Anyways, I guess I just don't see what the draw is. Nostalgia? Maybe! I'm not sure. But Super Friends is the first book I'm dropping off of my list. Maybe this book should be the second. I'll let you know.
