A few days before Christmas. And the events in one of these books actually take place on Christmas Eve. Ah, synergy! But first...did you listen to my comedy recording I posted the other night? I'd like some feedback on it. It's only a little over 30 seconds long.
Superman 706: I'm just going to say it: this book is turning into a trainwreck. Instead of continuing to follow Superman in his walk across the USA, there's another "interlude." This issue goes back to Metropolis, where the Daily Planet has come under attack from a blog. Seriously. Occasionally awful dialogue and a simplistic resolution of the problem.
Supergirl 59: Here's the book set on Christmas Eve, although it's not really a Christmas story per se. It's the conclusion of the story in which Cat Grant's life is threatened. But after Supergirl saves the day, it concludes on Christmas with a super-powered being -- wearing a reindeer headband. (Okay, it's Krypto.) New writer coming on board next issue. I hope the characterization of Supergirl doesn't change with the change in writers.
Simpsons Comics 173: Remember the episode where Bart, Nelson, Milhouse and Ralph were turned into a boy band? This is like that, but there's no sinister subliminal YVAN EHT NIOJ angle, Bart is the only performer, and there's a different gender. Think Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana.
Victorian Undead II - 2 (of 5): Sherlock Holmes learns more about Dracula's nefarious plans to destroy the Royal Family and rule the British empire...although it's odd that Holmes, a man who deals in facts and data, so easily accepts that there are such things as vampires. Then again, he recently was dealing with zombies...
