THE DOGS 12/1/06

JLA #124. (Written by Bob Harras. Art by Tom Derenick).

Only one for the pile this week but, as if to make up for it, it's pretty darn Doggy. Much like the current run on Flash this storyline reeks of biding time until One Year Later starts. Although ostensibly linked to Crisis nothing is happening here that will have any affect on the wider landscape. That's not a bad thing by itself, but if it was this bad and it had some heavy duty Crisis overtones there would at least be a reason to buy it. While the villain here does have some (theoretical) menace it is devalued by the petty playground arguments between Asshole Batman and Whinyman Green Arrow. Throw in the topsy-turvy, bendy-wendy, 'proportions? what are they?' art and you get £1.80 that could have got me a bog-standard (but still better that reading this) sandwich.
