Chandleresque, Gritty, and Beautifully Bleak
This series is so wonderfully bleak its almost uplifting. I like the idea of a side-bar story of everyone else in Gotham, and I thought I would miss the long underwear guy, but actually I got caught up in all the noir atmosphere. The 'look' of the book echoes the recent Daredevil, in that grey area between real and unreal, without being cartoony (good for some things, like the new Ghost Rider #6) ...

A gorgeous collection for the Best Captain America run out there.
Brubaker is the man. I buy everything with his name on it, and this Omnibus that collects the first 25 issues of his run (leading up to the "Death of a Dream" storyline) is brilliant. This edition collects the story arcs: "Out of Time", "The Winter Soldier", "21st Century Blitz", "Red is the Darkest Colour", "Collision Courses" and "The Drums of War (A Civil War Tie-In)" as well as the first ...

Everyone should be reading Daredevil!
I can't believe no one has reviwed this item yet, this story is gold! Ever since taking over from Bendis/Maleev, the creative team of Ed Brubaker (writer) and Michael Lark (penciller) has pushed this book to new heights. Before going on, I just have to say that people need to be reading Daredevil. This is as good as it gets! This TPB collects the team's third story arc (Daredevil vol 2, issues ...

The Excellent Quality Continues!
I'm a tremendous fan of Brian Michael Bendis' Daredevil, so when the news arrived that he was leaving the title, I found myself distraught. Before Bendis' run, I'd never really cared much for the character. And though many criticized the level of deconstruction he brought to the line, I always found his work riveting and more than entertaining. That being said, Bendis left Daredevil in ...

A great read... crime fiction meets the superhero set
Another fine entry in this compelling series set in the gritty underbelly of Batman's Gotham City. The plot increasingly focusses on Det. Rene Montoya, which is fine by me (although I'm waiting for her partner, Crispus Allen, to come out of the box a bit more...) Author Greg Rucka's debt to HBO-TV's "The Wire" is increasingly obvious, but that's mighty fine source material. In this volume, ...

An Excellent Read
One of the best-written, most consistently entertaining mainstream comics on the shelves today, Gotham Central is the four-color cousin of popular TV police procedurals like Hill Street Blues, Homicide and NYPD Blue - telling stories of the DC Universe's toughest town from the perspective of the hardened detectives of the GCPD's Major Crimes Unit. Technically a Batman-family title, it is the one ...

Wow.
Holy cow...! Brian Michael Bendis' long run on "Daredevil" was a highwater mark for the superhero genre, and a tough act to follow. In this seething prison drama, writer Ed Brubaker matches the intensity of the Bendis story arc, and then some. Matt Murdoch is in Rykers Island prison, where a mix of super-powered and super-bad convicts can't wait to get their hands on him. Every claustrophobic ...

The more things change, the more things stay the same...
Batman: Nine Lives is a DC Comics production from the Elseworlds line. Elseworlds takes superhero characters and tears them from their familiar continuity and places them in "what if" situations. This particular graphic novel presupposes that Bruce Wayne and his contemporaries are living their lives back in the 1940s (which is how it originally started anyway). The impetus of the storyline is the ...

An altenative future world comes to life.
Termial City is an award nominated series which is, strangly enough, set in the advanced East Coast US metropolis "Terminal City". This comic revolves around a group of modern day Daredevils, primarily Cosmo Quinn, "the Human Fly" who scales the tallest of buildings as well as living a double life cleaning the windows of such glass towers. The Streamline styling harks back to the thirties, ...

A very fun book, that's the key word, fun.
You see the book is not overly long, and of course plays fast and loose with the HG welles story and the superman story, but it blends them very well, the story is set in the 30's and even has a more throwback feel to the art. the story is mostly fighting but there is a lot of epic stuff going on and a fan of either will smile as you see how they blend this or that together, like for example ...

Illustrated Mystery - Love IT!
I've always been a fan of Raymond Chandler's books - they are so twisted and convoluted. Michael Lark has really brought that sense of being "in the dark" to his adaption of "The Little Sister". Both in terms of plot development and the artwork. The artwork is dark and differs from most comic book art in that it uses crisp lines, very few color gradients in conjunction with heavy inking. ...
