The Amazing Adventures of Roth, Weaver and Jones
In Michael Chabon's Pulitzer-Prize winning "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," two teenagers create the comic book character The Escapist in the forties. Since then Dark Horse comics has been featuring comics about the Escapist and other characters from Chabons book. This book, however, is actually a sequel to the original book. Just in case you're unaware, Amazon offers a ...

best in the series
This is the best book in the series. I really started to like Yorick in this book. And the story begins moving forward after being drifting in the Midwest for a long time. It is well worth the read if you get the opportunity.

Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Negative Exposure TPB

Simply excellent
Having just recently began my interest in comic books again, I was no doubt eager to get back into the 'swing' of things with my life-long favorite, Spider-man. J.M. Straczynski's work on Amazing has been excellent, but Spider-Man/Doctor Octopus: Negative Exposure really stands out as one of the best Spider-man tales I've read in a long time. Spidey and Doc Ock are at it yet again, and Daily ...

At Long Last...
This was by far and away the best issue of Season Eight so far. But let's back track a little before we get too ahead of ourselves. There has never been a Faith-centric episode before in either "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "Angel." I hear the gasps now. "What about Revelations, Bad Girls, Sanctuary, Orpheus, Who Are You, or Dirty Girls?" I see your point, guys. Faith was a major character in ...

An excellent start off point for new Vertigo readers
In an attempt to lure in new readers, DC Comics' mature readers imprint Vertigo assembled this TPB featuring six first issues of six of their best series'. There's no Hellblazer, Sandman, or Preacher featured here (although they are all amazing series that are more than worth checking out for new readers), but what you do get are the first issues of Neil Gaiman's Death: The High Cost of Living ...

Point of Realization
You've all experienced it. Not all of you notice it every time, though, but it's there. It's that point of realization when, while reading/watching something, you realize that you're experiencing something truly great. Those moments vary for all of us, but I remember a few of my "PoR"s. It can come early in the story (for me, Harry Potter's "Sorting" in the first book was my PoR) or even when ...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 8 #6 : No Future For You Part One (Variant Cover, Dark Horse Comics)

Brian K. Vaughan offers a first rate Faith story in BUFFY 8
This is the variant cover issue of issue No. 6 in JOSS WHEDON'S SEASON EIGHT of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER. I vastly prefer the regular cover, which shows Faith at her attitudinal best, holding the can with which she spray-painted "Faith" over "Buffy" in the title. Although contrary to popular mythology there was never a Faith series that Elisa Dushku opted against in order to star in TRU ...

AMAZING
The next best thing to the TV show itself. You can actually hear the characters in your head as you read it. Great artwork. The characters are spot-on. Definitely recommend it.

Marvel Comics, 2007

BKV Bows Out Gracefully
This book collects two three-issue arcs (Dead Means Dead & Live Fast) from "Runaways." These are creator Brian K. Vaughan's last six issues as the writer of "Runaways," and he really goes out on a high note with this emotional, character-driven, action packed TPB. For the "Dead Means Dead" arc (the first three issues in this book), penciller Adrian Alphona is replaced by Mike Norton. While ...

If anything, an improvement on the first two books
As I write this, Brian K. Vaughan has finished work on the last issue of his truly massive Y: THE LAST MAN series. In terms of sustained narrative, it will certainly go down as one of the longest, most epic stories in the entire world of comics and graphic novels. The first two books in the series were good, very good, but this one might even be better. There are some wonderful new twists ...

The heat turns way up.
Although I like the previous issue better than this one, Motherland has it's own perks as the story starts to wrap up for our protagonists. Things get a little strange when one of the characters becomes fatally injured, and Yorick almost REALLY dies this time though not of his own occord. I still have no complaints about this series, there's a damn good fight scene, a couple questions finally get ...

Better than I had hoped
Apocalyptic stories and gender politics, two of my favor things to read or watch. "Y: The Last Man -- Unmanned" was intense and gripping. I devoured it and wanted more. I'd heard about this graphic serial for years and am so glad I finally got a copy. I'm not sure I buy the decay of the world quite so much, women are very capable and are in most of the jobs required just not in the majority ...

Don't Buy Those Little Digest Books; Get The Big Honkin' Hardcover
I said it before and I'll say it again. This is THE way to read Runaways. Under the attractive dust jacket, the cover is made up of a soft black vinyl material that is extremely durable. The book itself is huge, letting you appreciate the art in a way that it may not have been able to be appreciated in the original comics and the infinitely smaller digest trade paperbacks. Plus, the book is ...

The plot thickens and the fun continues
The first book in Brian K. Vaughan's Y: THE LAST MAN set up the premise: all the males in the world of every species have died except for loser named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand. In the chaos that follows American society is oppressed by totalitarian Amazons, who are marked ideologically by an intense detestation of all things male (in later books they will even try to tear down ...

Great start for a new series
Once again, Brian K Vaughn shows that he is one of the most consistently good writers in the business. He obviously has another winner with Runaways, a book about six children who discover that their parents are super-villains. While this book is aimed at younger readers, is definitely has something for everybody. From what I can tell, the events of Runaways occur within the traditional ...
