The Outhouse - The Greatest Comic Book Forum

by **Punchy** » Wed Feb 08, 2012 7:32 am

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

Batwoman #6
as selected by Amoebas

Punchy has next week's pick

Comics are to be scored on a scale from 1-10. 1 being suck, 10 being a damn good comic. Your review must be at least a paragraph to show you've put some effort in, but beyond that, there's no right or wrong, unless you disagree with me

Punchy
Holland Oats
Jude Terror
John Snow/Amlah6
Stephen Day
The President/Frag It
BubbaKanoosh
BlueStreak
Guitarsmashley
SilverPhoenix
Deadfett
Eli Katz
Ameobas

Eventually, I will put together all of our reviews and we will have our very own article on the front page of The Outhouse! If you would like for your review to be included, please try to have it posted by the end of day on Tuesday.

Wow - it took 2 months but Pncuhy finally spelled "Amoebas" correctly!

I'm going to be getting my comics Saturday. Hopefully my LCS has this in.

How many reviews do I have to have before I'm added to the list? :lol:

I think I've reviewed at least two of the past three or four books..

It's on Punchy's agenda right after tallying up the scores for last week's book.*

Boy, there are a lot of full-panel pages and double-page spreads in this issue. I haven't been reading the book regularly, so perhaps, to a regular reader, there was much lead up to these final moments in the book. But to me they just seemed overblown. I thought that I was reading a Jim Lee-Frank Miller book for a second, with all the wasted space and stretched out storytelling. On the plus side, the art in this issue is strong.

STORY: 4/10
ART: 8/10
OVERALL: 6/10

Unfortunately, the art is the only thing the book has had going for it from the start of the new 52. Other than that it's a dull book with boring dialogue and unrealistic "real-life" conflicts. Mostly all I remember from the first 3 issues were two chicks bitching at each other while getting dressed or undressed.

Still no tally of last week's score. Part of the fun of the group used to be seeing how the collective opinion of the group rated books from week to week. I'm not sure why no one in group leadership will address this.
