I haven't been doing many comic book reviews lately (OK, none). But, the reason is that I am not sure how useful they are. Comics are a unique medium and don't lend themselves to singular reviews all that well, the same goes for individual TV shows.
For instance, I watched the first four episode of season 1 of Dexter when it was first released on DVD. I did not like it. It felt formulaic and boring. Then I watched another episode, then another, then another. You have to judge something based on the whole of it. This is hard to do in comics, especially for stories told by the Big 2, which seem to go on forever.
So to feel like I am doing something useful, I am no longer reviewing each issue, but providing a summary of the story. The intent is for people to come read it and if they enjoy what is going on, they will then go out and read it and follow it themselves. It also helps me remember what is going on in each series.
