For those of you who know me, I am obsessed with two things: Star Wars and comic books. Comic books are a great hobby because every month, every comic book fan knows that he/she will be getting a new issue. Story lines in comics are filled with fantasy, mystery, suspense, comedy, horror, etc.... The list goes on and on about comics. Actually I could go on and on about comics, but I won't. Instead I will just give a rating on the best story lines out there. For those of you, who are picky about what I pick, feel free to e-mail me and give me your opinions.
 
 

AQUAMAN: He is King of the seas and of Atlantis, but to me he lacks depth as a true character. I haven't read many issues of him, but to me I like the old Aguaman better than the new one with the hook. I give him: 
 

ASCENSION:  A comic with mystical and magic involved has been done over and over. I have to admit that the first couple of issues were exciting, but sorry guys it is all down hill from there. In the future Aquaman is going to get married because his sweaty has now found out that she truly loves him, so now there is going to be trouble with having a wife hanging around the King of Atlantis. I give it: 
 

BANE:  Filled with venom and hatred- he is unstoppable, but take away the venom and you have one smart villain. Even though he lacks the urge to dive into the drugs, that makes him all the stronger. Even though he has no comic solo book now, he will be appearing in upcoming NO MAN'S LAND comics- so pick them up, they will sure to be an excellent depiction of him. Just now in the recent NML comics, Bane is hammering at Two-Faces' forces and is blowing buildings up. Her is also following orders from a mysterious outsider, but I think Bane has never been controlled and actually controlling the outsider. I give him:

BATMAN:  Oh where do I start. This is THE MAN right here. Batman has never been better. Ever since the earthquake struck Gotham, his comics have been going through the roof. Perfect stories, perfect plot, perfect depiction of the Dark Knight, and most of all everybody still fears him. If any of you haven't read Cataclysm or No Man's Land- get in a car and drive to your nearest comic book shop and buy them. Everything is wrapping up in NML, so now all of the stories are leaving with huge cliffhangers and Batman is in absolute control of Gotham, he has so many strings that he is pulling in Gotham, it just isn't even funny. I give THE MAN: 
 

CATWOMAN:  Born Selina Kyle- transformed into the marvelous CATWOMAN. See the problem here is that she is also involved with NO Man's Land, which is such a tremendous story line that I can't get enough of her. Her stories are well written and I love how she can steal anything. The writer of this series has a tremendous mind, very original, and very believable. She has now completed the task that Batman gave her in NML, and now we will find out just how much of an important role she has in this game of Batman's. I give her: 
 

THE DARKNESS:  At the age of 18, he gained enough power to rival anyone, what a great birthday present, but.... this comic has gone downhill sooo fast, it's just not even funny. They keep on trying to entice everyone with variant covers, but we the consumer just don't care. Plus, with all of the crossovers with Witchblade...you have to buy Witchblade also to get the whole story. Not worth the money. I give him: 
 

DOOMSDAY:  With a tremendous history and past record of destruction, Doomsday rocked, but he went down hill when the writers put Braniac inside his head. This ruined the pure aggression Doomsday had because it was replaced with a lame character. Plus, even though I love the character, he should have did at the end of time. It was the best and only death he could succumb to. Now with him in the JLA's teleporters, we know we'll be seeing him again. Overall,
I give him: 
 

FATHOM:  First couple of issues were great, but after that it went all kaput. Now it's just all "T" and "A." I wish the writers good luck on trying to make Fathom a popular character again. I giver her: 
 

FLASH:  Born with incredible speed, this comic super hero is surpassing most of the DC universe with all of the great story lines. Mark Waid does an excellent job depicting the Flash character. Plus, with all of the mystery of the new flash, this all creates tons of suspense and anticipation for the reader that can't wait for the unmasking. But now that I know who the new Flash is, the plot went kind of down hill, hopefully they explain that Wally West is the new Flash in a good way, or otherwise it might get dumb, but we'll see. I've been hooked on Flash ever since I started. Good plot, good character, and good writers equals a success. I give him: 
 

GREEN LANTERN:  Having the most powerful weapon in the universe and it was given to a cartoon artist. Even though he has great imagination, he is no Hal Jordan. Hal Jordan was the best, but now the name of Green Lantern has gone down hill. The only thing that can help this title is to have a drastic change in Kyle's lifestyle or give someone else the ring. The whole thing about Kyle restarting the GL Corps was a compete waste of time because nothing happened. It was a waste of $10 all together, although I do see a little potential in the future. The only good thing in the comic is the relationships he has with the other females in the comic, it is filled with humor and tragedy. I give him: 
 

JUSTICE LEAGUE AMERICA:  There is just too much to say for this superb team. With heavy hitters like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Flash, and Aquaman, there is no stopping this team. This comic has terrific writers and inkers, which make this comic a tremendous buy. Now with WWIII starting and the death of JLA'ers in the future, the JLA series is a must watch. The only downside to this comic is that sometimes the story line is so complicated you have to read the story 3-4 times before getting the whole picture. I give this team: 
 

NIGHTWING:  Born Dick Grayson, turned into Robin, then transformed into Nightwing, this character is also THE MAN. If Batman wasn't around, I would want this guy over my shoulder. With the terrific story line, also mixed with No Man's Land, this comic takes the cake. He single handily took over Blackgate Prison from someone of the ruthless characters know to Batman. Now there is a love interest between Oracle and Nightwing that will add a little twist to the series. There are no other contests. The comic is well written, great inkers and artists, and a fantastic supporting cast, this comic is sailing through the roof. I give him: 
 

ORACLE:  A.K.A.- Barbara Gordon, daughter of Gotham's Commissioner Gordon, was originally Batgirl, but got shot in the back by the Joker leaving her paralyzed. Now confined to a wheelchair, she has the most access to any type of information than anybody in the world. She has the high technology to perform her duties well. With her in Gotham during No Man's Land, her character gets better and better. Also, she has a love interest with Nightwing now and that adds a little twist to her character and story line. You can see her now in comics ranging from No Man's Land, JLA, and Birds of Prey- she is a must read character. I give her: 
 

ROBIN:  Always known as the sidekick of Batman, Robin is no longer in his shadows. Even though they may go on runs together, his own comic book has created him a life separate of Batman. The writers do a tremendous job with this character. All of the other robins in the past weren't as well rounded as this Robin. His comic is always a must read, and now he is also involved with No Man's Land, this comic is going through the roof. The only problem for Robin is that he has to give an explanation to his dad of why he has been missing for a month now..uh oh Robin... I give him: 
 

SPIDER-MAN:  Born with incredible powers of an arachnid spider, Peter Parker was forever changed on that fateful day. With the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter knew that with "Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility." Spider-Man was doing really great until the Clone Saga hit the newsstands. Spider-Man plummeted after that. Even now with the new series, Spider-Man does not even have a chance of coming out on top any time soon. I give him:
