X-Crescence CLXX: Arabian Nights

[Talisman]

I was, but I hated the last two issues.

Really? What did you hate about it? I didn't read the 0 issue because of all the bad press, and I honestly didn't give a shit about any of the 0 issues so I took a month off from new issues. But I thought #13 was a pretty fun book.

To be fair, I only started following DC with The New 52 so my frame of reference isn't as rich as yours, but to me, #13 just felt like two incredibly disjointed stories forced together to form a tenuous link to the Death of the Family crossover. I really hated the whole chess story. It was ridiculous.

It was all symbolism geared toward the education system here in the U.S.

I think this is definitely aimed at the current look on children in the public school system. With education usually the first place that the government guts, it's basically Ann saying something about how America looks at her children as if they were disposable, and the whole toy/chess pieces leads into how children are uneducated, so in order to placate them, we give them more toys to focus on. And having a bomb on the kids chest meaning it's just a matter of time before this blows up in our faces. Even, the oh, never mind, is something like if we don't think about it, we don't have to worry about it. This is why I love Ann's work. In just a couple pieces of dialogue and a few panels of symbolic images, she packs so much in her work.

This is what I picked up from the last issue, and the couple pages of previews for #14.

I like Catwoman's leisure-time boots and jersey-knit shirt dress she was sporting in the most recent issue.

I haven't read, but there's usually some sort of underlying social commentary from Nocenti. It's kind of her trademark.

Sandoval is such a breath of fresh air after the dreck that was Melo. Here's hoping he has a chance to redesign her horrible biker costume.

And this is why I love her. She packs so much in a book, and always has something to say.

I could really do without hamhanded social commentary though, especially in a CATWOMAN book. Sometimes you just want a Glamour mag in a sea of Economist issues.

I think this is precisely why I'm not enjoying Nonenti's stuff. I miss the kitschy shimmer of Winnick. Sandoval has far exceeded my expectations though. His art is much better on Catwoman than it was on Legacy, especially in the preview for #14.

I have hope for some more glamour in the near future. I feel Ann can bring the levity and whimsy that a Catwoman book needs. She did it with her first arc on Green Arrow, despite what detractors feel.

I got a copy of the AvX hardcover with my free bonus points last Friday. I don't remember selecting it for my shopping cart, but whatever. This whole book has a digital code that came with it, which I have most of it in digital form already. I should have a contest to give the code away.

I'd read anything the chick writes
