What Fox missed
It was a period of hell at Fox Studios between 1986 and 1992, James Cameron's squeal to the first "Alien" movie was a massive hit and it earn it's lead actress a Best Actress nomination from the Academy. Lighting had struck twice, a decade earlier Fox earn big bucks with the "Star Wars" trilogy, and it seemed like it was going to score another big time trilogy. How seldom is it that dreams ...

From One Era to Another...

Collecting issues #364-372, and Annual #16, it begins with the introduction of the villian Madman, who has developed a poison toxic enough to kill even the Hulk, who must fight to stay alive against the Abomination, Fantastic Four and the Leader along the way! From there, we see the Hulk battle ...

A fantastic graphic novel
This comic book is one of the best I have ever read. What I thought was going to be another horror comic ended up being much more. Sam Kieth's artistic style matches perfectly with his storytelling, as he mixes reality with his character's psyche seamlessly so the reader can no longer distinguish between the two. A must have for anyone who enjoyed Kieth's other works like the Maxx or Four ...

What a lady!!! Is she married?
Carol Danvers is a dream come true!!! She's independent, self-supporting, intelligent, beautiful and, in her spare time, she fights costumed villains!!! This alone'd give her very interesting tales to tell. Apart from all that joking, this book shows a woman who trades punches with the likes of "The Scorpion" and "The Tiger Shark" (the best stories in the volume), but still looks feminine and, ...

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2007

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUPERHERO BOOK
In one of the more unique superhero titles I've read in a long time, Top Cow presents "Common Grounds" written by Troy Hickman. Originally conceived by Hickman as a self-published mini-comic called Holey Crullers, it's been re-created by Top Cow as Common Grounds and features such stalwart artists as George Perez, Al Vey, Sam Keith, Dan Jurgens, and Chris Bachalo. Common Grounds is a chain of ...

I've got a secret
Do the secrets that we keep mold and shape us into who and what we are? The Joker thinks so. He has a secret, one that he is willing to kill for in order to keep. He knows another man's secret, one that he is willing to exert blackmail for in order to exploit. And he thinks that Batman has a secret, and if he doesn't, then why is he so repressed? Sam Kieth's probing and thought provoking tale on ...

Epicurus: The Sage

William Messner-Loebs, Sam Keith

Wildstorm, 2003

Epicurus is an absolute pleasure
Epicurus the Sage is a biting satire about the philosophical and historical climate of classical Athens. Although not at all historically accurate, it takes each character, including good old Socrates himself, to the extreme. No knowledge of philosophy or the mythology is required to get the most out of this book, although it certainly helps. It seems to take a while for the plot to kick ...

n+1 Research, 2004

Superb new journal, worth reading years after it was first published
I became aware of this literary journal after reading Kunkel's Indecision, and I subscribed beginning with issue 3. Not too long afterwards, they reprinted volumes 1 & 2. After reading through this first issue, it's very clear why my dalliance with McSweeney's has ended. This journal raises sharply focused questions, and in this first volume, critiques the McSweeney's posse for their regressive ...

Cambridge University Press, 1998

Good book, bad reproduction
If you are going to buy this book, I strongly recommend spending the extra money on the hardcover addition. I have seen both, and the image reproduction in the softback addition is borderline criminal. Photocopies of the images in the hardcover would look better than the images in the softback. This is a book in large part about images and how to interpret them and having such poor reproductions ...

White Wolf Publishing, 1995

It was a switch from the usual fantasy...
Seelie and Unseelie elves trying to eke out an existance in Banal world, battling invisible chimaeric toys in the streets of Frisco, clinging tenaciously the nobility of the Middle Ages. I found this book quite refreshing from the run-of-the-mill fantasy books one can find. Unlike many of the novels about the faerie people, this one actually takes place on present-day Earth, and the faeries ...
