I liked this...Max Raynor is British. Just saying’!<br /><br />I liked this issue too. Especially the feisty little girl. She could grow up into a Batwoman. <br /><br />Speaking of whom, I really like Kate here, whereas I generally find her unbearable in her own strip. I liked the compliment to Kate and John Henry, that Supermen noted that all the heroes of Gotham and Metropolis are capable. I think he chose Steel rather than Supergirl because Steel set himself up as a hero especially to keep Superman’s legacy going... Kara is still finding out what she wants to do with her super-strong heart. <br /><br />Steel’s big blast reminded me of Supergirl and Superman’s solar blast, but less stupid. <br /><br />Great cover, too!<br /><br />Thanks for a top review, Anj. Did you tweet it to Max Raynor?<br /><br />Martin Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574149543260175962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-9273505338483693972020-12-07T12:59:39.394-05:002020-12-07T12:59:39.394-05:00Max Raynor also pencilled and inked two fill-ins t...Max Raynor also pencilled and inked two fill-ins this year for Wonder Woman (752 and 752), where Wonder Woman had to deal with the threats from warrior-from-the-past Valda, and from the Four Horsewomen, at the same time. (Paula, Devastation, and Armageddon - not sure they ever reached quite reached Four, but that was their stretch goal.)<br /><br />He also drew an excellent Diana just hanging around at home, and even brought in Maxima by the end.<br /><br />I see he's drawn the last 3 issues of Batman/Superman. He does general work just fine and a cool Batwoman - but I think he's especially good if you need to feature 6 distinctive and interesting-looking women-warriors.<br /><br />He's not going to be carrying on with Batman/Superman in March, but Ivan Reiss will be instead - which is by no means a downgrade. But I'd like to see Raynor get more regular opportunities. That will be tough, with DC cutting back on titles.<br /><br />T.N.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
