Limerick Reviews for 03/12/08

Gah! Where does the time go? I'm almost to St. Patty's and these are the only stereotypically Irish-type posts I've put up? SHAME ON ME! Clearly, I've got to get cracking. Or at least get liquored up on Jameson before I post.

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOOOOOOIIIIIIILERS! /Beetlejuice

Booster Gold #7 - Geoff Johns & Jeff Katz - A+

There once was a Beetle named Ted
Who got shot point blank in the head
Booster Gold saved his life
And now there is strife
But man! It's great to see him not dead!

Gen13 #18 - Simon Oliver & Carlo Barberi and Drew Geraci - B-

The Black Ops TV? Whoo-wee.
A plot both twisted and screwy
A Hot Dog Man helps
Caitlin's Mr. Phelps
I swear this is good and not hooey.

Wonder Woman #18 - Gail Simone & Bernard Chang - B+

There once were some alien Khund
Whom most of the universe shunned
They show up for aide
Wondy's unafraid
. . . this boyfriend thing still has me stunned

BONUS LIMERICK!

"Regarding Nemesis:"

There once was a writer named Jodi
Who left a steaming pile most grody
Simone's cleaned the mess
Most things she'll redress
So please don't freak out like Brodie

Avengers: The Initiative #10 - Dan Slott & Stefano Caselli - C+

A superpowered murder spree
Disarms Constrictor easily
New Warriors - back?
The others? Quite slack.
But Taskmaster and Ant-Man? Pure glee

Marvel Comics Presents #7 - MARC GUGGENHEIM, CHRISTOS GAGE, ROBERT VENDITTI, RICH KOSLOWSKI & DAVE WILKINS, JOYCE CHIN, JEREMY HAUN, ANDREA DIVITO - C+

Emo Prince Namor is emo
Ka-Zar and friends almost primo
But this comic shines
With Vanguard's design
"Retcon"? The name alone - dreamo!

(shut up. rhyming things is HARD)

Mighty Avengers #10 - Brian Michael Bendis & Mark Bagley - B+

Into the 70's they stray
Sentry, Stark and Doom seek a way
To find their way home
With Sentry's dumb dome
. . . Doctor Doom does not say "OK".

Thunderbolts 119 - Warren Ellis & Mike Deodato - A-

All the reformed villains and loons
Get turned back into pure goons
The psychics make hay
Doc Samson don't play
Some character deaths are like boons

Serenity: Better Days #1 - Joss Whedon and Brett Matthews & Will Conrad - A-

There once was a Captain named Mal
Who led many a cool guy and gal
Some art they all steal
Leads to a big deal
Read a book with Wash? Yes, I shall!

X-Factor #29 - Peter David & Valentine De Landro - A

A villain attacks named Arcade
So X-Men hijinks, not Sam Spade
A scythe now hangs low
Over Julio's - WHOA!
It's like he's the Marquis De Sade!

Empowered Vol. 3 - Adam Warren - B+

This book that I've loved comes out thrice
And while this new volume is nice
Too much tie-up bores
Same for ninja chores
Get back to the heart and the vice
