You said all feedback welcome so here goes.
  I liked the review, particularly the line about "what comics have done since WW2 - appropriate politics" and the bit about gay behaviour in the media.  I too am tired of TV shows and movies patting themselves on the back for introducing gay characters but being timid about what those characters might actually do.  Usually they just act friendly in a kind of gay way.
 You were right about the title pre-judging the issue too.

well done,

Floyd Kermode

Will, that's a far higher standard than before.

You've stuck to the point, kept the wordiness down to a minimum and been properly informative.

It's a well-written and thoughtful review, so please accept my congratulations!

It probably helped, however, that I hated that damn storyline.
Issues in comics? Piss off, Winick. Get a proper job.

And a haircut, probably. :-)

Again thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it (especially after the previous critque you gave me). I don't suppose I could be cheeky and ask what you thought of 1369  (link at the bottom)?
