This Week's Comics: Supernatural, Batman, Legion

[sdelmonte]

So I'm late. I could say that it's because I'm busy. That's partially true. Fact is, nothing I bought was all that exciting. Most of it was competent, but there's just not much to say.

So in short...

Supernatural: Origins 5 and 6 were readable, but not essential even for fans of the show. I do hope that these sold well enough to warrant another minseries, though, and that maybe next time a more accomplished writer takes a turn.

Batman 670 was billed as the "prelude" to a major crossover among the Batbooks, the first since One Year Later. If by "prelude" they mean "some interesting scenes and a new artist doing cheesecake but no real story," it was a prelude. I am hoping that the actual event is better, but at least in Tony Daniel there is a good artist for an action oriented comic.

Supergirl and the Legion of Super-Heroes 35 is still fun, but not as well-paced or assembled as last month. I think that maybe Bedard is playing out the string now.

There was an awesome Halloween-y Jack of Fables, too! He tells the story of how he was Jack O'Lantern!

I will catch up with that in the trades. I liked the first JoF collection, but it didn't demand that I buy it monthly.

Besides, Jack Skellington was the REAL Jack O'Lantern! :)

I'm totally with you on the SPN. It could make a great comic, but once we veered into spirit journeys and American Dante, I was rolling my eyes a little. Way to work in that Oh So Significant Final Line, too.
