The Brave and the Bold #10

This comic continues to be a fun and entertaining read. Writer Mark Waid has threaded the "Megistus" story line through the last four issues and it the tool has worked well in getting some unusual team ups. Superman and the Silent Knight wouldn't be my first choice for a team up but it works here. Artist George Perez's Superman is a throwback to the 80s look which brings back some found memories. It was also awesome to see Perez draw the early Teen Titans as they team up with Aquaman. Seeing classic Aquaman also made me want to see this character back in the DCU proper. Waid nails the characterization of the early, young sidekicks which mirrors what is going on in the "Year One" title. The "Megistus" storyline is inched forward but the team ups are really interesting.

While Waid may have failed to capture my imagination in his "The Flash" run, he stays in top form here. I'm sad to see Perez move on, but Jerry Ordway is a fine addition to the creative team. If you haven't jumped on this title, it is consistently one of the best of the DC monthlies.
