Mcgraw-Hill, 1997

Is it tea or IT for you sir?
As a teenager in London in the late 1960s I remember the daily ritual of nipping in to Joe Lyons Corner House to sneak a cup of tea and a last cigarette before going to school. Little did I (or any other customer) know what had been going on behind the scenes. This book lets us in on the secret. It tells how a UK catering company, J. Lyons and Co, got involved in the design, development and ...

The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Infinities)

Dark Horse, 2003

What if...?
A wonderfully helpful stranger recommended this to me in a bookstore, and when I flipped through it and liked what I saw, I decided to purchase it. The story is excellent -- I was very drawn to the "What if...?" aspect that permeates it. What if Luke had died from his injuries on Hoth? Who would then face Vader? What if Vader showed up at Cloud City a little bit later than he did in the ...

X-Men: Divided We Stand

Marvel Comics, 2008

Divided Who Stands?
"X-Men: Divided We Stand" is not to be confused with "Uncanny X-Men: Divided We Stand." The latter stars Cyclops, Emma Frost, Wolverine, etc., while this book stars a B- and C-list of mutants, such as Cannonball, Husk, Nightcrawler, Storm, Neznho, Anole, Beast, Dark Beast, Havok, Vulcan, Pixie, and Surge. Most of the stories work, and the artwork is wonderfully diverse. The casual X-Men fan, ...

Star Wars: A New Hope Manga, Volume 3

12 reviews
Hisao Tamaki, David Land

Dark Horse, 1998

Best Star Wars Comics Money Can Buy
I wasn't sure what to expect with the Star Wars: Manga series. I wasn't sure if it would just be a tired retread of familiar material done with big eyes, or if it would be the first really quality adaptation of the Star Wars films. Because lets face it, most Star Wars comics suck. The art is lacklustre, with artists often trying to make their character look too much like Harrison Ford or Mark ...

Dark Horse, 1999

I'm not a manga fan, but this is hot
the first 4 books which covered A New Hope are among my fave SW items of all time. Empire and Jedi also do not disappoint... these are heaps better than all the other so-called SW "comics"... they actually capture the speed and action of the movies - if you are fan, BUY!
