Essential Marvel Horror, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

4 reviews

Marvel Comics, 2006

Son of Satan/Son of Adam
Yes, it was common for DC, Marvel, and some of the smaller houses to not do their best work on their "horror" titles. There was often a revolving door of second-rate hack writers and artists working on them. Well, this was definately not the case with these stories. Every story here is well drawn and well plotted. There is a remarkable consistency considering how many people worked on all these ...

Essential Monster Of Frankenstein Volume 1 TPB (Essential (Marvel Comics))

Marvel's turn to tell tales of the Frankenstein monster
Once upon a time there was a comic books company named E.C. that published a whole line of comics, including "Tales from the Crypt," "The Vault of Horror," and "The Haunt of Fear." Then Dr. Frederick Wertham, a medical doctor and psychiatrist published his infamous "Seduction of the Innocent" in 1954, which claimed comic books contributed to making children delinquents (and worse). Even ...

More what if
This is of course the third volume in the Marvel What if series that collects issues 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20. This edition has good content in it. What if Sgt. Fury had fought World War 2 in outer space?: This is more of an alternate timeline. Where the plot begins during the 15th century. Da Vinci creates designs for an airplane but was never built until the Wright Brothers built one in ...

Our hero cannot make up his mind about being either Daredevil or Matt Murdock
"Essential Daredevil, Volume 3" collects together episodes #49-74 of "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!" along with "Iron Man" #35-36, which was a crossover story about the Zodiac gang. This represents a transitional period as Roy Thomas replaced Stan Lee as the writer for the book, although by the end of this collection it is Gerry Gonway who has taken over as scripter. Except for three issues ...

Marvel Masterworks X-men 5

Marvel Enterprises, 2005

Not as good as I remember...
This here's an interesting collection of the original X-men stories, that's not quite as good as I remember from my youth. Almost gave it a 3 star. This volume collects a few issues with Steranko art and Barry (Windsor) Smith's first rough one off for Marvel. Smith's work improve greatly after this in Daredevil and Conan. This volume see the first appearance of Lorna Dane, but this era doesn't ...

Essential Ghost Rider, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Marvel Comics, 2005

Just Getting Warmed Up
Ghost Rider battles Satan, the ultimate adversary, who unfortunately comes across as a stereotypical, almost comically inept supervillian. A necessary look at the character's origins, but it only got better from here.

The Incredible Hulk Omnibus, Vol. 1

Marvel Comics, 2008

By the Zesty Zither of Zeus!
This review's title is a line that the mighty Hercules happily shouts as he does battle with the Hulk and finds it much to his liking. This huge volume of early Hulk stories is a blast. I'm not sure it would appeal to kids or people who've seen the movies and want more. But for comic readers/collectors who've always been curious to read the early Hulk stories, I highly recommend it. ...

Captain America teams up with the Falcon in the early 1970s
With the recent "death" of Captain America in the epilogue to the Civil War that has rocked the Marvel Universe I decided to go back and read again the Silver Age adventures of ol' wing head. "Essential Captain America, Volume 3," reprints "Captain America" issues #127-56, which were originally published between 1970 and 1972. Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby back in ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Space soap opera
One of Marvel's greatest creations is the alien Kree race, and with ESSENTIAL CAPT. MARVEL we get to see some of the inner workings of that interstellar empire. However, most of the action takes place right on Earth, specifically near the "Cape" in Florida, presumably Cape Canaveral. Capt. Mar-Vell is sent to examine humanity, but ends up becoming infatuated with its people and culture. The soap ...

Essential Classic X-Men, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

Marvel Comics, 2006

It's About Bloody Time, Marvel!
Marvel released volume one in this series YEARS ago, and they have finally given us volume two. The stories in this volume are very rarely reprinted, and are very entertaining. Worth a look, especially if you're a mutant continuity nut like me.

Marvel Romance TPB

Stan Lee, Gary Friedrich, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

I can't believe how much I liked this
I've read thousands of Marvel super-hero comics over the years and wasn't sure if I had much interest in their other genres, especially those that pre-date the introduction of The X-Men, Daredevil, etc. But I picked up Marvel Romance on a lark and cannot believe how much I loved this book. The stories themselves are incredibly campy and fun. In a weird way, they remind me of reading modern ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Classic Marvel Madness!
This volume contains Harlan Ellison's classic Hulk stories. If you're a fan of either Old School Marvel, or the brilliant futurist/SF writer Ellison, then give it a try!

Marvel Comics, 2007

Graphic SF Reader
Colan soap opera slugfest. The attraction in picking this up is of course Gene Colan's work, which, while shadowy, is certainly a lot more realistic of figure than that produced today. The storyline for a lot of this is quite long, which your shadowy master villain or villains, sending a stream of low-rent villains DD's way. Lots of fighting for him. Plenty of on panel angst about ...

Human, All Too Human (I): A Book for Free Spirits, Volume 3 (The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsch)

Friedrich Nietzsche

Stanford University Press, 1997

Nietzsche at his Aphoristic Best
If you like aphorisms and philosophy, this book will become one of your bibles. If nothing else, it's just plain fun to read for his incredible wit. Of course you have to put his ideas in the context of the period in which he wrote and understand that he has his own odd prejudices, but the brilliance of his understanding of the human condition really shines through. The biggest mistake any reader ...
