Off-Topic: Comic Book Reviews

DC's GREEN LANTERN: THE NEW GUARDIANS #25
We'll I decided to give this book another chance. Some big changes have taken place in the Green Lantern books, and I thought this would be a good opportunity for a second chance. This was a pretty good issue. Kyle Rayner is seeking out the secret to human perfectibility. So far the quest is not going well.
Storyline: 4 Stars
Dialogue: 3.5 Stars
Pacing: 4 Stars
Art: 3.5 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

DC's TRINITY OF SIN: PANDORA #5
Pandora confronts the Crime Syndicate's Alfred as her colleague begins to re-engineer Pandora's Box. This book is getting a little repetitive. I don't think the main character can carry this book much longer.
Storyline: 3 Stars
Dialogue: 2.5 Stars
Pacing: 3 Stars
Art: 3 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

DC's BATMAN 1966 #5
This was one of the best books in a very good series. There were two stories here, one with Batman & Robin fighting the Sandman and the other with Batgirl thwarting Cat Woman. The Sandman story 
was original and surprisingly engaging. The Batgirl story was classic and entertaining. There was a new approach to the art here too, and it worked, giving a new twist to a classic look.
Storyline: 5 Stars
Dialogue: 5 Stars
Pacing: 4 Stars
Art: 4.5 Stars
Overall: 4.5 Stars

Dynamite's GRIMM #7
This was a great approach to the kind of storytelling we see on the show. Two wessen take up the mantle of superheroes. They cause a kind of trouble that challenges Nick creatively and morally. That is what a good GRIMM story is all about.
Storyline: 4.5 Stars
Dialogue: 3.5 Stars
Pacing: 3 Stars
Art: 2.5 Stars
Overall: 4 Stars

Big Dog Ink's LEGEND OF OZ: THE  WICKED WEST # 13
A good continuation of the origins of the flying monkeys, this book lacks the near-perfect pacing of most of this book, though it is still better paced than most books. I just love this book. Even the weakest issues are better than 90% of what is out there.
Storyline: 4 Stars
Dialogue: 3.5 Stars
Pacing: 3.5 Stars
Art: 4.5 
Overall: 4 Stars
