Capsule Reviews: What's on my Comics Plate
mood: 
calm
calmGreen Arrow and Black Canary- This is a new series, and I admit I was somewhat hesitant about picking it up due to the fact that I've never been much of an Arrow fan. I read practically all the books in the Batman family, though, which probably means I'm a fan of dysfunction. Hah. In any case, GA/BC is an absolute delight to read. Chang's art is simply gorgeous-- almost nouveau, even, and it complements Winnick's almost Peter David-esque stories with surprising aplomb. And hell, as dysfunctional as this little family is, this book is an extremely funny read.
Nightwing- Currently featuring the best writer/artist team-up to ever grace the pages of this book. Tomasi, Morales, and Bair: You are Gods among men. I hope you never leave this title.
Robin- Not quite sure what I think about Dixon (there are some patchy bits in his writing), but Batista is pretty good. Considering that the quality of Robin artists hasn't really been that great, it's pretty easy to be "the best artist to ever grace this title", but there you go. Batista's art is uneven in some areas, but the middle pages of 171 are exquisitely rendered.
Countdown to Final Crisis- My interest dropped after Jason Todd and company left Earth 51, but I'm still reading in order to keep up with the inevitable Universe-shattering conclusion. 8 issues to go before the end!
