Long time between posts, I know. I just haven't felt like writing lately. I've been getting a lot of reading done though so let's get started.
Supergirl vol 2- Continues to be an exciting adventure of a stranger in a strange land. Super Girl and her world are easy to understand and the mythology is pretty easy to grasp, making the story and characters the focus of the book. It's a quality story that far surpasses her more famous nephew
7/10
Swamp Thing - Actually a pretty decent start for a creepy horror/fantasy book. Basically, this is a throwback to old school horror with a dose of environmentalism. Some of the mythology is pretty goofy and I found my self struggling to understand the rules of the world, but overall I found it compelling, mostly due to the fantastic artwork
6.5/10
Wonder Woman vol 2 - So, I took some Greek Mythology courses in school, I saw Disney's Hercules, and I've read the Justice League. That should give me enough basic understanding of super heroes and myths to follow what's happening here, but I'm totally lost. Obscure characters arrive and leave without being addressed by name. Powers and rules of the universe are never clearly defined. Pretty pictures aside, this book is a narrative mess.
3/10
