Great read
Captain Marvel would have to be one of my most favorite superheroes in the DCU. Not only is he nearly as old as Superman in how long he has been around. Captain Marvel to me represents every childs imagination. While your outside playing superheroes (for those of us that did) we were imagining that we were "growing" up and being a Superhero. Not just becoming someone else with powers. Well, at ...

More than just a "Decent" art magazine
This book lingered in my wish list for more than six months because I was too afraid to buy a book with only one review. A month ago I decided to take the risk and bought the book expecting it to be a little less than average. But my opinion changed, as I read one "tutorial", or interview, after another. Among my favorites were Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack) and Phil Hester (The Wretch). ...

DC Comics, 2006

quite good
First, these are some of the great artists and writers in the comic book world. It almost doesn't get any better than these men. Now, you had to know this was coming. There's no way DC could let those 'alternate' characters just continue to live in exile, especially since one of them is a Luthor. It had some weak moments and flaws, but overall, a welcome addition to the DC lore. Let's just ...

Superman: Time and Time Again

DC Comics, 1994

One of the best Superman/time travel stories ever written!
This trade paperback is great for fans of time travel stories and Superman. Superman is accidently thrown through time by a temporal explosion with no control of where he goes. Only powerful explosions can send him to other eras. On his journey he saves FDR, meets Merlin the magician, encounters a dinosaur, and witnesses the destruction of .... well, buy this book to find out! It has it all!

Fantastic Four Visionaries - John Byrne, Vol. 8

John Byrne, Roger Stern, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Better than I expected
This is actually one of my favorite editions in this series, right along with volumes 4 & 5. I'm a *huge* fan of anything Byrne did in '85-'86, which includes his 6+1 issue run on the Incredible Hulk, his covers for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition, his final issues of Alpha Flight & Fantastic Four, and of course his work on a certain Man of Steel. My favorite issue ...

Excellent
This is a great story that builds and builds until the epic finish. Good reading for fans or the genre and even for folks that have never read a graphic novel.

World Without a Superman

DC Comics, 1993

I like it.
I think it's better than The Return of Superman because it shows the whole worlds reaction to his death and there's a bigger story than The Death of Superman. If you read The Death of Superman you will probably enjoy this book even more.

BUY IT
A lot of talk about paper quality. Look past it. This is a story worth reading. I agree that it deserved the absolute treatment, but I for one am still glad that it was at least in the omnibus format. Glad to own it and I am sure you will be also.

This is possibly the best Superman graphic novel yet!
I'm a long time Superman fan, and this book shows Superman dedication to crime fighting and the like. Read this book!

Keep 'em flying!
If you liked All-Star Companion vol.1, you'll enjoy vol.2. More info on the Justice Society, plus an issue by issue review of The All-Star Squadron. I'm looking forward to vol.3!

The Thunder Agents Companion
Jon B. Cooke, Wally Wood, ...

TwoMorrows Publishing, 2005

The heroes who never die! Though the T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents had a relatively short life during their initial run in American comics during the 1960s, you just can't keep a good team down, as evidenced by their periodic revivals over the years. This is the authorized, and definitive, book on the history of such memorable characters as Dynamo, No-Man, Lightning, Andor, the Iron Maiden, and all the other super-heroes and super-villains created by ...

Starman: To Reach the Stars (Book 6)

DC Comics, 2001

REVELATIONS GALORE!!!
The climax nears. This book, the sixth compilation of James Robinson's alternative cutting edge quasi super hero series-Starman, is the turning point of the series. This book in my opinion provides the best read since Sins of the Father, Robinson and artist Tony Harris' first story arc. The characterization, mood and most especially the big revelations spotlighted in this collection is worth ...

Tales of the Sinestro Corps: Superman-Prime Special #1 (Tales of the Sinestro Corps)

TwoMorrows Publishing, 2007

Truly Ordway is a Modern Master.
This is my first purchase in this series. The book itself is a softback with a glossy cover that seems relatively durable. The interior composition has mostly black and white artwork with a section of full color pieces near the end. The structure of the book is that of an interview with Jerry going over his formative years and how he came to be where he is today. Interspersed with the ...
