Excellent novel
This novel does an excellent job finishing up the story. It gives all of the finishing details needed to find out how it all ends.

Marvel Comics, 2005

Il più drammatico "What if...?" degli Uomini X
Premetto che considero una piaga, per il fumetto popolare americano, l'abuso di statagemmi (o meglio mezzucci) narrativi quali universi paralleli, viaggi nel tempo e stravaganze di tal fatta. Questi espedienti ammorbano la vita degli X Men sin dai tempi di Dyas of Future Past, dove però Claremont e Byrne l'avevano risolta con classe e discrezione. Anche il prologo dell'Era di Apocalisse risulta ...

A must hae for the Comic Collector
In the second volume of Joe Kelly's, writer of "The Obsidian Age"(JLA)And "Godfall"(Superman), which are awesome as well, continues his trek into the underbelly of the Absinthian nightmare. Chris Bachello's drawing is some of the most complex and awe inspiring yet. It will require multiple readings to fully appreciate the detail Chris puts into the art- work. An epic journey is slowly ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

The best X-Men run in at least two decades
Remember when Uncanny X-Men was a cutting edge comic? When I started reading the X-Men titles in 1990, they had this mystique surrounding them. X-Men was the dangerous superhero team that the "cool" comic geeks followed. Looking back it seems a bit ridiculous. A lot of that mystique came from a single character (Wolverine), dynamic artwork by Jim Lee, Marc Silvestri, etc. and continuity so ...

The Absolute Sandman, Vol. 1

Vertigo, 2006

Beautiful, and A Great Price
First of all, I will admit that this was my first time reading the Sandman, when I got this version. I was drawn in and the $70-ish price tag is, as well as way cheaper than you'll find at book stores, a great deal. The amount of content is staggering, and even if you've read all the Sandman comics, the extras are pretty great as well. If you're not sure if you'll enjoy the series, go out to a ...

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2007

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUPERHERO BOOK
In one of the more unique superhero titles I've read in a long time, Top Cow presents "Common Grounds" written by Troy Hickman. Originally conceived by Hickman as a self-published mini-comic called Holey Crullers, it's been re-created by Top Cow as Common Grounds and features such stalwart artists as George Perez, Al Vey, Sam Keith, Dan Jurgens, and Chris Bachalo. Common Grounds is a chain of ...

Generation Next (X-Men: The Age of Apocalypse Gold Deluxe Edition)

Scott Lobdell

Marvel Comics, 1995

Not your fathers comic book
Told in a fast paced well thought out storyline. I felt an actual emotional connection with the group. To see favorite characters changed when faced with a lifetime of death and destruction, is a triumph to the scriptwriters of this idea "Age of Apocolypse." Colossus and Shadowcat are now Peter and Kate husband and wife charged with the training of the Generation Next cast. Their ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

About time
I'm glad that marvel has finally released this whole series in graphic novel form. It's about time that they did because it is such a pivitol time in the x-men history. It is one of the pieces that connects most of the more recent events in the marvel timeline. Highly recommended for any x-fan.

Death: The High Cost of Living

Neil Gaiman

Vertigo, 1994

Death is really a sweetie
For me, as for many fans of the "Sandman" series, the best character is Death. Gaiman conceives her not as a frightening figure in a cowl and carrying a scythe, but as an exceedingly perky young woman who wears black jeans and leotards and sports rather Goth-y makeup. She likes people -- she meets everyone eventually -- and for one day per century she takes human form, just to keep in touch. This ...

More Marvelous Elephantmen
As a long time fan of the elephantmen I was a bit concerned when I found out they were doing a monthly book without my hero Ladronn, boy was I wrong and this over sized reprint only strenghens my thoughts. Joe Kelly and Chris Bachelo have taken the main character put him in to a one of the most beautiful childrens books i have ever read ( i work as a teaching assistant at a school for kids ...

The Origin of Generation X (X-Men (Marvel Paperback))

Marvel Entertainment Group, 1996

The Book(s) That Started it All
Like the title says, this is the book (or collection thereof) that started the best (IMHO) comic book series ever. This shows how the GenX kids got together, and it depicts their first adventure together, sadly however, there is one who will not stay with them for very long. A MUST READ for any comic book fan!

Age of Apocalypse
The complete Age of Apocalypse book 3 collects the real meat of the story. Magneto and his X-Men have all gone their separate ways and now we begin to see each of their individual stories, Nightcrawler's journey to the savage land, Gambit's to the Shi'ar galaxy, Rogue and the Astonishing X-Men head to stop the cullings, ect. We start to get some of the background of some of the new characters ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Quite Good
This is, overall, a quite interesting TPB.I'm an X-Men fanatic, but I usually read the spin-offs, as the writing for the mainstream ones has gone down-hill since the New X-Men title was changed back. The drawing for this story was generally quite good (one guest artist who didn't do so well), but otherwise great. Th story launched a nicely constructed new team, lining up a balance of rogues ...

Awsome

Image Comics, 2008

Great writing, Fantastic Art !!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are looking for something that offers more than the usual comic book fare then you owe it to yourself to read Elephantmen. The description tells you the premise but there are so many layers to each story written by Mr. Starkings that you are left anxiously waiting for the next issue. The art by Moritat is nothing short of brilliant and the colors he uses compliment not only the fantastic ...

Ultimate X-Men, Vol. 3

Marvel Comics, 2003

Millar's best
Ultimate X-men Hardcover Vol 3 collects Ultimate War 1-4 and Ultimate X-Men 26-33 and is easily the best Ultimate X-Men collection so far. This is the first Ultimate X-Men novel where both stories (Ultimate War and Return of the King) actually tie into one another and as such it's a natural fit for the hardcover. Like The Ultimates it seems like one continuous story and does a much better job ...

Underappreciated 90's Comic Title; Hope They Release More
Pop Kulcher Review: Not sure why, but Amazon has reviews for Sandman Mystery Theater printed below. As for Shade the Changing Man, all I can say is -- it's about time. Having released at least token trade paperbacks of most of the DC Vertigo titles, Shade seemed to be singled out for obscurity. Which would be a shame, as it was one of the most well-written Vertigo-related titles of the 90's, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Good Old Xmen Fun
I haven't bought comics for a long time and only resort to buying Hardcovers or Trade Paperbacks for my comic book fix. I was reluctant to buy Xmen Messiah Complex because I've heard that most crossovers have not lived up their billings. But after reading this at one sitting, I must admit that the art, story,characterization, action, tone, and complexity was very very impressive and well-done. ...
