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 #24 - DC
Another boring issue of this comic. Ok, I'll admit this one was a little more interesting, but really . . . not much. It wasn't really hard to figure out the plot of the book . . or the motivation. And in the end when the wheel-chaired veteran comes for some pay-back . . walking . . it certainly wasn't that much of a surprise. And even if it was . . . who cares? I thought the best part of the book was the Paul Smith cover. I've decided not to see the movie either until it gets to the $1 movies, or it comes out on DVD. I'm sure it's an ok movie, but . . . it looks an awful lot like Sin City or 300. At least from the previews. I understand that Frank Miller is the executive producer . . . which explains the look and feel of the movie, but . . unless he wrote it, I can't see that he'd be able to make all that much of an impact on the story. But like I said, I'll check it out . . . later. I'm thinking that #25 will probably be my last issue of this book. I can't justify paying for it every month when I'm really not getting that much enjoyment out of it. So . . I have to stop someplace, and #25 seems like a nice number to wrap it up. Unless something changes next issue . . . thats it for me. Sorry. I have to watch my budget and I'd hate to miss something better because this book is still in my list.

Boy, it's a shame what happened to this title after Darwyn's initial run. You have more patience than I do. I dropped it after #21.
