Herman Melville, Bill Sienkiewicz

Berkley Publishing Group, 1990

Bloody Battle in Affghanistan! Grand contested election for the Presidency of the United States!
Who would have thought that Melville wrote for the present day? That he could predict the simultaneous events as he did with these two headlines in chapter 1? (don't hold the 2 fs in Afghanistan against me, this is a quote!). Another indicator of contemporarity: Melville invented product placement! The Chief Mate of the Pequod is called Starbuck! Ishmael, the narrator and bosom pal of great ...

Old School Comic Book Reader
I enjoyed this book. As a reader of the stories from the 60's, 70's, and 80's I liked the explainations and story line. I stopped reading in the 90's and this is a fresh experience. I plan on reading the companion volume.

Marvel Books, 2007

Deluxe collection of some of the greatest Daredevil comics ever!
I didn't bother with the first Daredevil by Frank Miller & Klaus Janson Omnibus, since I had previously purchased the Graphitti Designs Daredevil Visionaries: Frank Miller hardcover set. Sure it would have been nice to have them all in one big volume, but I couldn't justify the hefty price tag. Anyway, the first Omnibus might have been unnecessary, but the Daredevil Omnibus Companion was an ...

Black Widow Vol. 1: Homecoming (Mighty Avengers)

Richard K. Morgan, Bill Sienkiewicz

Marvel Comics, 2005

An old favorite meets a new favorite
The old favorite is Marvel Comics, which I devoured during my formative years. The new favorite is Richard K. Morgan, whose work I've been reading ever since he published his first novel, _Altered Carbon_. The combination is terrific. Natasha Romanova (the Black Widow) has always been a comparatively minor character in the Marvel lineup, and her treatment hasn't always been consistent. Here ...

The Nightmare Factory, Vol. 2
Thomas Ligotti, Stuart Moore, ...

Harper Paperbacks, 2008

The mind-bending universe of horror master Thomas Ligotti awaits in another graphic adaptation of his haunting work. Enter a sphere where bizarre gas station carnivals serve as the first stop on the road to oblivion, a malevolent puppet steals people's identities, a deranged chemist engages in horrific experiments, and nameless beings skulk about in a stone tower, waiting to envelop the unsuspecting into the nebulous reaches of unreality. ...

Elektra: Assassin

Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz

Marvel Entertainment Group, 2000

a really great comic work...
the only gripe i have about this is it feels like it should be part of a larger, longer story. or maybe its just because you don't want it to end. at any rate this is a great graphic novel, featuring top class writing and artwork.

New Mutants Classic Volume 3 TPB (New Mutants)

Chris Claremont

Marvel Comics, 2008

The Sienkiewicz era begins...
The first two volumes of "New Mutants Classic" covered the initial assemblage of the team under the tutelage of Professor Charles Xavier, saw them go on a couple of adventures against such foes as the Brood, the Hellfire Club, and the Demons of Limbo, lose a member, and add two more, going through two different artists in the span of eighteen issues or so (Bob McLeod and Sal Buscema). Volume 2 ...

Yagyu Retsudo renews the quest to kill Ogami Itto & Daigoro
The Yagyu letter continues to gnaw at Yagyu Retsudo who gives ample proof in Volume 13 of the Lone Wolf & Cub saga, "The Moon in the East, the Sun in the West," that he will go to any length to get his revenge on Ogami Itto. In the five chapters of the manga epic included in this volume is the most shocking act of violence we have yet wetness in this bloody saga: (64) "The Moon in the East, the ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Moon Knight is the Best
Its been a little more than a year since volume 1 came out, and I've found that volume 2 is as good or even better than the first one. The art continues to improve, and being in black and white just adds to the mysterious feel of Moon Knight. This volume contains issues 11-30 of the first run of Moon Knight comics, first published in the 1980's. It continues Moon Knights battles with the ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

What an Essential volume should be
Having read a couple dozen of Marvel's "Essential" series, I've seen the gamut from excellent to awful. Generally, what makes the comics good are exactly the things you'd expect: good, consistent writing and art, strong characters and a decent supporting cast. (This last feature seems to often be the deciding factor for excellence: it's a reason the Essential Spiderman volumes have been ...

It provides essential information for young men and women who become conscientious objectors after enlisting in the armed services, and it serves as a resource center for young men who may have moral reservations about registering with Selective Service.

MUST buy for Ultimate Spider-Man fans
This book was an incredible read. If you are a fan of Ultimate Spider-Man and Bendis, then this book is a MUST buy! Bendis does sooo much to flesh out the Ultimate world in these 17 issues. It's his Spider-Man on adventures not told in Ultimate Spider-Man. Spider-Man meets Wolverine, fights Hulk, confronts Daredevil and Punisher simultaneously, meets Iron Man, Dr. Strange, a hilarious ...

Live the story through the comics
After reading Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," I was disheartened to realize that comic described in the book might never be actualized, and that the descriptions and accounts of the comics in general were fantasized. However, when I learned that Dark Horse Comics was planning on releasing "The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist, Volume 1" I jumped at the ...
