Kara's comic for Comic book week November 9th, 2011, is the 5th & final ish of the mini series based on the late Fox television show "Dollhouse".

I was not a tremendous fan of the television show although I am sure like all of Joss Whedon's work that it probably would have become a favorite given enough time. My bf thinks Eliza Dusku is amazing.............especially as Faith on Buffy...............but I suspect he has extra reasons that I do not! 9,9

Still, in this mini series a very good job is done to make the story self explanatory. Basically the Rossum Corporation creates a way to over write the personality of people with new personalities...............making human dolls that live in Dollhouses.................& there you have the name! :)

So the star of the show.............Echo...............has the ability to not completely lose all of her personalities. So when Rossum decides to use the new tech as a weapon...................by calling people all over the world & over writing their personalities...................Echo becomes the key to stopping them. The story then follows a group of people that have been over written by the scientist Ivy with her own personality & Alpha..............who is very much like Echo but not really some how in a way I am not really sure that I under stand & a young boy named Trevor who Alpha gave the ability to over write just little parts of his personality at a time....................& he can learn things like how to do kung fu that way.

I like Trevor! :)

Sooooooo this group is trying to find Ivy. & last ish they did, so in this ish they wrap up the story by at least slowing down Rossum's plans. But the story ends very abruptly & can only continue in another chapter.

I enjoyed the story & the art work is generally very nice although it did seem a little bit uneven through out the series............some times very faithful to the actors from the show & some times just telling the story but not really looking like the actual people.

The covers have all been beautiful & I would suggest buying the tpb.............trade paper back natch!..........just to see all of the covers...........I would hope.............although the story may be a little bit unfulfilling if no more chapters are published!

RATING: 7 phone calls out of 10!!!


& this week end I went to Hal-Con! The largest & greatest sci fi convention in Atlantic Canada! If you are in Halifax next year some time around the end of October or the start of November you should maybe come! You might see this........................

A dalek! Dalek's are cool! ;)

Suicide Squad #3 (DC)
(Adam Glass & Cliff Richards)

This is not a review of DC's Suicide Squad from this week but I have a question that I hope that some 1 out in the internet land can answer!

Does Harley Quinn actually have an all white skin condition? I thought that she just painted her face white for her Mister J? o,O
