I know it's sort of comic book tradition to over emphasise womens assets but, seriously, some of the characters in this. Three of the female X-Men turned up looking all slutty and Black Cat looks like a porn star.
Other than that I liked it though. I really do need to read some more DC stuff. Pretty much all the comic trades I've read have been Marvel, because that's what people keep lending me. I've only read one Superman book (which was amazing!) and one Batman book (which was less amazing). Must read more.
Next on the list is Vampirates: Demons of the Ocean by Justin Stomper. I must confess to being exremely shallow when I bought this. It's called VAMPIRATES! Clearly this book was written for me! LOL. It's a children's book so I don't know that I'm going to get a whole lot out of it but if I enjoy it there's a load more in the series.
