Random thoughts on Day Six before the office X-mas party. 

The Brave and the Bold #181.  It's Brennert and Aparo.  So that's prima facie evidence it's great.  

Daredevil #163.  This was a great era of Daredevil.  And he always seems to shine when he's overpowered by an adversary. 

Ghost and the Shadow.  This is one of the few modern Shadow comics I haven't read.  Probably because I'm traditionally not big on inter-company cross-overs. 

DC Comics Presents #41.  I know I've read this.  And like a cheap meal it did not stick with me.  

Superman vs. Aliens 1-3.  Yeah...NO!

Patsy Walker #99.  Neat.  This is a comic I've not read.  It's unlikely that will change.  But nice to see it here because variety is the spice of something. 

Transformers/G.I. Joe.  Yeah...NO!  I've never read a comic from either of these franchises.  I have no fear that will change. 

Swamp Thing #26, 27, Annual #2.  This was one of the last books to fall off my list.  On any given day it could have remained.  

Marvel Team-Up #63-64.  I'm pretty sure I bought the first part of this off the spinner.  As much as I really don't like Claremont's writing at this point in my life I remember he and Byrne's run on MTU fondly.  

Superman #149.  sigh...Superman.  

Swamp Thing #57-58.  I love Alan Moore.  And I love his run on Swamp Thing.  But I always felt that he'd reached a point of diminishing returns by the time he came to the end of his run and that Rick Veitch was a breath of fresh air.  It's been long enough that I can't really place these two issues in context.  But I didn't love Swampy's jaunt in space overall.  

The Brave & the Bold #85.  There was a time when this might have made my list.  But O'Neill and Adams' work hasn't aged super well for me.  Though their work on Batman/Detective and B&B has aged a lot better than Green Lantern.  

Detective Comics 343.  I'm super sure that I've read this.  But I'll be darned if I remember it.  

Lois Lane #50.  I don't understand how Lois Lane's comic lasted.  I really don't get it.  

Brave & Bold #53.  I've apparently read this because it was reprinted in The Greatest Team-Up Stories Ever Told tpb.  But I sure don't remember it.  But with Alex Toth art I should probably revisit it.  

Spectre #3.  I don't think I ever bought this as a back issue because the Adams issues of Spectre were just a bit beyond my reach when I was collecting Earth-2 stuff.  Seems like I should though.  Because I love me some Wildcat. 

Galactus/ Darkseid.  Nah!  I don't love Darkseid.  And I mostly don't like inter-company cross-overs.  

Dr. Fate (Vol 2) #8-#9.  This feels like a book I should read.  I really like Shawn McManus.  So if for no other reason than his art. 

Marvel Two-In-One # 79.  I don't remember this issue at all.  And I'm positive I've never read a thing with Blue Diamond in it except a bag of almonds.  So good job.
