10 reviews

Marvel Comics, 2002

Amazing story through space and time!
The first TPB of the Exiles, simply awesome. The characters Morph, Mimic, Thunderbird, TJ (Nightcrawler's daughter),Blink, and Magnus (Magneto's son) are "plucked" from there universes and dropped in a mysterious point. Where they are all informed that they have been "mixed up" in time. And they have to travel across various universes and times to set themselves and other things back to normal. ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Age of Apocalypse is my favorite graphic novel ever
the age of apocalypse x men series is one of the coolest things i've ever seen in comics, it's my favorite. it doesn't try to be PC or happy, it's really dark and the x-men are cooler. i have another review more about the story on book 2 page cause as others have said marvel didn't group this series together perfectly, you are supposed to start with book 2 and then 3 then 4. book 1 is a ...

Gotham's sexiest sociopaths
The early nineties were a special time for Bat-fans of my generation. Bruce Timm and Eric Radomski (with a lot of help from a talented bunch of animators, directors, voice-actors and writers, including Paul Dini) brightened the afternoons of countless wide-eyed kids with the Emmy award winning Batman: The Animated Series. The show broke barriers in scripting, design, story-telling, voice acting ...

Marvel Comics, 2004

Tragedy and triumph in one package!
This collects issues 31-37 of Exiles, and it covers some great moments for the team. First off, they face a world where the Avengers are all vampires (as a result of Captain America losing to Baron Blood in an earlier battle in his own comic). Their only hope it to enlist the aid of Union Jack, but he doesn't want to get involved! Next we go to two issues where the leaps go wrong for some reason. ...

Batman: Under the Hood, Vol. 2

DC Comics, 2006

The art is good, however...
Batman: Under the Hood 2 is overall a good item. It follows the events after the first volume in which it is revealed that the second Robin, Jason Todd, is still alive. This Red Hood is a vigilante who is willing to kill criminals. Batman must confront inner demons of guilt and try to stop Jason. The art and inking is really good in this work, and the characters are pretty ...

The OMAC Project (Countdown to Infinite Crisis)

15 reviews
Greg Rucka, Geoff Johns, ...

DC Comics, 2005

I thoroughly enjoyed this one
Batman is "the man", not the only "the man" in the DCU, but a "the man". He kind of goes nutty after coming to the realization in Identity Crisis that he had part of his mind wiped and builds a police state setup where an orbital AI satellite named "Brother Eye" basically watches over Gotham and himself. Brother Eye has the ability to direct the OMACs to help keep order in a way. Checkmate is ...

I won't spoil anything for those who have not read this, but this is a great TPB. I liked everything. thsi si what the Exiles should be about.

Outsiders: Looking for Trouble

7 reviews
Judd Winick, Tom Raney, ...

DC Comics, 2004

nice start
I had no idea what I was getting into with this one. I've always been a big night wing fan, but didn't know much about the other team members. I think this is the beggining of a great run of comics. Team books these days seem to have that feeling of forced interaction, ie the JLA books, the x-men books, but not this one. The diverse characters don't feel forced and neither do thier ...

Panel Two: More Comic Book Scripts By Top Writers

1 review
Nat Gertler, Peter David, ...

About Comics, 2003

Okay, but not as good as the first one
People hoping to gain an understanding of how to write comic books really couldn't find a better source than "Panel One," the previous volume edited by Nat Gertler collecting comic book scripts and roughs by various creators. "Panel Two" is more of the same, but not as polished. There are more of the "thumbnail" versions of scripts, and some that are so detailed it's almost like reading the comic ...

Oni Press, 2000

Close to My Heart
I bought this book on a whim. As many of the people who have read it, I first heard of it through Oni Press. And I was not disappointed one bit. My reaction was surprising most of all to me, since I've made the analysis of literary works my life (and my degree). There's nothing about this book that makes it astoundingly unique compared to all the other coming-of-age novels out there. But ...

Crawling from the Wreckage (Green Arrow, Vol. 8)

DC Comics, 2007

The opinion of a newcomer
I'd never read Green Arrow before, and I picked this edition, which bears the "1 Year Later" seal, beacuse I knew that this "year later" thing made comics easier to get into; I didn't, though, expect to understand everything. I was surprised to see I did; this comic is suprisingly easy to read. The tragedy that has happened to Star City is explained right away (making it easier for those of us ...

Pedro
What I enjoyed about writer/cartoonist Judd Winick's Pedro and Me is reality style of this graphic novel. Winick book talks frankly about AIDS without beating the reader over the head with a PSA type message. He explores his friendship with his Real World co-star Pedro...and his death and aftermath In a graphic novel format, it will capture younger readers who read them. It takes a risk and it ...

Green Arrow: Road to Jericho (Green Arrow (Graphic Novels))

2 reviews
Judd Winick, Scott McDaniel, ...

DC Comics, 2007

Giving a old hero, a new edge.
From start to finish this book hits the target. As cheesy as that sounds, this Green Arrow Adventure shows you the extent to which a man is willing to go in order to fight for a cause. The once Green Arrow was a Robin Hood-like hero who used an array of trick arrows and a right hook to fight off a world of criminals. Yet conviction and a boxing-glove arrow can not stop all of them. GA decides ...

BIG GUNS IN ONE G-NOVEL!
Ever since I was a child in the 70s, I have loved Captain Marvel/Shazam, but he has always been in the shadow of the Big S! A meeting of these two have always been like two world champion Superbowl teams meeting in a head to head battle. Though past issues have always wanted to see the two guys battle, it is better to see the two equally admire and aid each other. This reintroduction of their ...

Batman: Under the Hood, Vol. 1

Judd Winick

DC Comics, 2005

One more great Bat-book *WARNING* Spoilers
Few writers have the ability to truly capture Batman's essence. But Judd Winick pulls it off with little effort. The art work here is nothing short of great, but it's not quite as good as Jim Lee's work in "Hush." Still, if you're looking for some great art and one of the best interpretations of The Joker, this is a book you shouldn't miss. The story picks up shortly after War Games and ...
