SQUISHY, DARK FUN!
Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse is the product of 30 Days of Night artist, Ben Templesmith, who not only provides the art, but wrote the story as well. This 152 page trade paperback collects the four issue mini-series along with the Wormwood: The Taster which served as a prelude to the mini-series. If I could pick just one word to describe Wormwood it would be...squishy...that tends to sum up both the ...

Very entertaining
While I didn't enjoy 30 Days of Night that much, Templesmith really turned it out for the Wormwood series. I would strongly recommend reading Wormwood Gentleman Corpse.

Frigid negativity
I implore anyone who has listen to these so called "reviewers" that have disrespected this graphic novel to ignore these reviews. They are indignant and just plain ignorant. Steve Niles has explored the overdone world of vampires and has brought a new vision that is new and refreshing. Believe me, I have read this graphic novel and enjoy it. A great addition to my limited collection. The ...

The Compleat Next Men, Vol. 1

John Byrne

IDW Publishing, 2008

Byrne's best
THE COMPLEAT JOHN BYRNE'S NEXT MEN collects what I consider one of the very few worthwhile comic series of the `90s. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that this series is the best of John Byrne's career. Sure, he worked wonders with Superman, the Fantastic Four, and countless other big-name heroes, but Next Men showcased his skills at writing and illustrating his own characters, with no ...

IDW Publishing, 2008

Drawing a "Blank" marks a key turning point
This latest collection showcases the landmark appearance of the first major "grotesque" villain in the "Tracy" pantheon: "The Blank," a.k.a. Frank Redrum, a disfigured killer who's engaged in getting revenge on the members of his gang while wearing a piece of cheesecloth (and no, Ralph Kramden, it's not French, so far as I know) that renders his face a featureless tabula rasa. "The Blank"'s ...

Puh-lenty of DEVASTATION!
Finally, we find out just what the heck has been going on for the last 4 TBs and there aren't any disappointments. The ending is fabulous and leaves you thirsty for more. If the scribes for the movie sequel need ideas--this has lots of great material to use, heh heh.

An Incredible Volume to Enjoy and Savor

It is the first of six volumes that are planned to be released quarterly. Each one will cover a two-year period of one of the most well-drawn, ...

Brian Lynch, Franco Urru

IDW Publishing, 2007

Great read.
Best graphic novel from the Buffy-verse. If you're a fan of Spike, then this is a must have. Great story, excellent characters & throwback references that only a Buffy fan well catch. Also, the return of a minor character from Angel's show.

IDW Publishing, 2004

Brilliant
I'm not going to go into a long-winded review. I just want to say that I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Great story and great graphics. I also enjoyed Dark Days and 30 Days of Night. I am a 36 year old female, so that will give you an idea of the difference types of people that can enjoy this series.

Star Trek: Year Four (Star Trek (Idw))

IDW Publishing, 2008

Captures The Essence Of Star Trek Perfectly
This is a great book. It really has the characterizations down pat. From McCoy saying "He's dead Jim" many times to the banter between Kirk, Spock and Bones, these stories have the feel of left-over scripts from the original series. The art is somewhat cartoony at times but it works. There is one instant classic panel which shows Kirk in his melodramatic pose of being in pain from an unseen force ...

Complete Terry and the Pirates Volume 5 (Complete Terry & the Pirates)
Milton Caniff

IDW Publishing, 2008

Master storyteller Milton Caniff's Terry and the Pirates brings 1943-44's battles in the Pacific to life as Flight Officer Terry Lee earns his wings in a Sunday page so powerful, it was entered into the Congressional Record!

Milton Caniff

IDW Publishing, 2008

Hitting his stride
Here's where Caniff really starts to come into his own. The action is fast and furious, the charcters are more defined, the sexy bits get steamier, and the artwork becomes slicker and more expressive. The reproduction of the strips is crystal clear (with the Sundays in the original full color). This comic strip represents the highwater mark of action/adventure strips. And this volume contains ...

Transformers: Megatron Origin (Transformers (Idw))

IDW Publishing, 2007

Die Autobots....
This Origin of Megatron is an interesting read. The artwork is nice and the story is intriguing. The story is similar to the movie Gladiator with Russel Crow in that Megatron is a wanted criminal warrior fighting in the pits. He then unites all the fighters together to take on the autobots and lead a revolution to make changes and brands his troops the decepticons. The story shows you how each ...

Another element in the IDW Transformers tapestry
This graphic novel is a collection of Issues 6-10 of Transformers Spotlight, a series of issues in which each one focuses on a single transformer but all the stories fit into the bigger Transformers Universe of IDW comics. The characters in this book are, in order, Soundwave, Kup, Galvatron, Optimus Prime and Ramjet. First of all, who this book is not for: if you have no interest in following ...

Vitamin D backlights: it gets the red out!!
After Barrow, a few people (19 according to Return to Barrow and a couple from New Orleans) are left to pick up the pieces. In the quest to do so, a book entitled 30 Days of Night is written, visual evidence is examined, and a war spills out from the shadows atop the world to the streets of L.A. It has to be one of the best sequels I've read in some time. In Dark Days, readers find themselves ...
