My favorite lines of dialogue from this week\u2019s comics:<\/p>\n
I love this comic more than anything. The artwork by Tony Harris<\/a> is tremendous, but it\u2019s really Brian K. Vaughan<\/a>\u2019s character interactions that make this series so delicious. I\u2019m actually annoyed whenever the story turns away from the political and personal story and fills in details of the more comic-booky story happening in the background.<\/li>\n I avoided this book for so long because it seemed like such a goofy idea, and because the loosely-related TV show<\/a> looked so cheesy. I\u2019m so glad I finally discovered the best-written<\/a> female characters in the entire DC universe. I jus the artwork wasn’t always so absurdly cheesecakey.<\/li>\n I\u2019d already heard about how the new Speedy was going to be dealing with HIV, and I\u2019ve been hoping that the writers handle it gracefully. I don’t know if it\u2019s working in Green Arrow,<\/i> but the first hints of that twist in this book seem OK so far.<\/li>\n Actually, there\u2019s endless good dialogue in this whole series, both the funny kind and the natural kind.<\/li>\n Like Ex Machina<\/i> this book has sucked me in with great characters and who interact brilliantly. The action has mostly been used to propel the characters from one point in the story to the next, which is usually fine. That\u2019s pretty much all this issue is, though, so even though this issue set up a lot of interesting story developments, it felt a bit like filler. Tsk, tsk, Joss \u2014 that\u2019s just what ruined so many of Buffy’s last episodes. Don\u2019t get sloppy on us now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My favorite lines of dialogue from this week\u2019s comics: Ex Machina #8: \u201cSorry, I thought you two be familiar with City Hall Park from all of your late night \u2018cruising.\u2019 Kidding, of course.
