Not the greatest, but still satisfying
I can't say im a big fan of Marvel in general and X-titles are usually unapealing to me, but i am a fan of Mike Allred. Based on my love for Mike Allred's own Madman, i decided to give X-Force a chance and bought the hardcover version which collects the tpbs as well as some other extras. I wasnt disapointed, the writing by Peter Milligan is decent, better than 80 percent of whats out there at ...

Great collection
After recently reading Long Halloween, I picked up this book hoping for more Tim Sale greatness. I found it. This is a great collection of little stories that have appeared over the years. Not every one is perfect, but together they are worth the money. There is a great three-parter here called "Blades", starring a new hero known as the Cavalier. Not much to start with, but it picks up ...

Awesome.
Will Eisner's original "Spirit" stories are kind of a cult-favorite thing -- they had a very peculiar rhythm and offbeat sense of humor to them and they were also lighthearted parodies of the superhero and detective genres, so they don't necessarily appeal to everyone. But they are also brilliant, funny, richly detailed and deservedly legendary. Author-illustrator Darwyn Cooke has done an ...

This is Why People Read Batman!
This hardcover collect two excellent graphic novels by Darwyn Cooke, Batman: Ego and Catwoman: Selina's Big Score, as well as some short stories also by Mr. Cooke. Batman:Ego was published in 2000 as a 64 page graphic novel, but finally gets the hardcover treatment it deserves, while the Catwoman tale, which was an original hardcover, crops up again in the same format. Both tales feature fast ...

Great Book, but watch out for Damaged Product.
The New Frontier is amazing. But Amazon sent me a damaged copy and tried to tell me it was damaged in shipping. The return address was from the AMAZON RETURN CENTER. Obviously Amazon tried to sell me a damaged book that had already been returned, and pass it off as new. FRAUD! If this were only a one time incident, I could deal with it, but they did the exact same thing to my girlfriend last ...

DC's classic heroes presented in a fresh way
I recently enjoyed the "Justice League: The New Frontier" direct-to-DVD movie and decided to finally check out its literary inspiration, the "DC: The New Frontier" comic book mini-series. This volume collects the first three issues of that series. Like the animated film, I found this initial volume to be gripping and involving, and generally a lot of fun. As I said about the film, it was ...

Green Lantern Vol. 1: No Fear

DC Comics, 2006

Green Lantern Soars the Spaceways Again!
GREEN LANTERN: NO FEAR is far less technically ambitious than its predecessor, REBIRTH. The previous novel in the "new" adventures of Hal Jordan basically had to re-invent the character and discard a decade and more of maltreatment of the character, in my opinion. However, that said, NO FEAR offers a lot in the way of great character building. Geoff Johns's first graphic novel in the Green ...

Gritty and Intelligent Crime Noir and Pulpy Comics FUN!!!
This book picks up after the previous trade paperback book, "Selina's Big Score," (which is also well worth buying). Compared to that prior book, "The Dark End of the Street" is printed on cheaper, more pulpy paper, but it is less expensive and has 25% more pages than the glossy-papered "Selina's Big Score." Where "Dark End" really beats "Big Score" is all in the cool, new Catwoman costume, ...

The Sequential Novel as Film Noir
Those who are enjoying Darwyn Cooke's current NEW FRONTIER, with its tale of Silver Age superheroes going face-to-face with the McCarthy era paranoia during which most of them were created, will delight in his somber crime drama for DC Comics from 2002, depicting an important chapter in the life of Selina Kyle, a.k.a. Catwoman. Those who are baffled by why a live action film franchise would ...

There's that crazy Wayne again
OK, Bruce Wayne is obsessed. There is no other explanation for his relentless, cold-hearted pursuit of justice as the Batman. But he isn't insane. Darwyn Cooke, in "Ego," gives us a Bruce Wayne who is still new in his role as vigilante. He is insecure, which is a side of Wayne rarely seen anywhere in his long history. And he is haunted by a giant shadowy Batman caricature, visually reminiscent ...

Engaging Short Stories
A lot of short stories that look at Batman in a different way. Very thought out for such short pieces. Volume I is better, so go for that first, but if you want more of the same, this will do nicely.

Batman Gotham Knights 33
SCOTT BEATTY AND DARWYN COOKE, 2002

The man who broke Batman's back, Bane, comes to town and makes a startling statement! It's a fact that, at first, Batman can't seem to deny, causing the Dark Knight to team up with his long-time enemy to destroy the last of the Lazarus Pits. Plus, a Batman Black & White backup, "The Monument."

Titan Books Ltd, 2008

This is Only OK
This book retells how Superman first encounters Kryptonite (his only weakness) according to the old classic Superman comics. Some characters and parts of the story are changed somewhat because the author felt the original story is a little bit too far-fetched and unbelieveable. Unfortunately, the new story does not really create a more believeable account and is pretty "out there" compare to ...
