Stalin's right-hand man!
This is a graphic novel that will intrigue even those, like me, who know nothing about comic books: Superman, the American icon, re-imagined as a Soviet hero. As a graphic novel, it tells its story through the panel-artwork and dialogue of comic books but contains a complex storyline aimed at adults. However, there's nothing objectionable about the content. Sophisticated kids as well as ...

Some actual info.
Ellis. I like him, even if he mocks us 'Merkins ruthlessly. Since there is currently no information about this collection, I'll provide the blurb from www.warrenellis.com: "Collecting: PLANETARY/THE AUTHORITY: RULING THE WORLD, and PLANETARY/JLA: TERRA OCCULTA and PLANETARY/THE BATMAN: NIGHT ON EARTH. Illustrated by Phil Jiminez and Jerry Ordway and John Cassaday." I enjoyed the Authority ...

V for Vendetta

Freedom, Self-Rule, and the Government
The most interesting thing about "V for Vendetta" is that the main theme of the novel isn't actually one man standing up to Fascism, though that's an aspect of it. The more relevant political theme is Anarchism, though it's still only partly about that. The primary themes are about people; about people taking their freedom and the responsibility that goes along with it. The creeping Fascism of ...

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

A Modern Illustrated Classic
In the 1960s I loved the "Classics Illustrated" series of comics. The stories were based, as the title implies, on classic novels. Perhaps my favorite was "Master of the World," based on the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. The science fiction theme and the characters created a wonderful world that appeared as though it could be real, rather than the complete fantasy of Superman or Marvel's ...

A series that is stunning in its consistent brilliance
I discovered FABLES perhaps a bit later than many others, but I'm making up for it with my enthusiasm for it. I've now read all of the nine main books, the 1001 NIGHTS OF SNOWFALL spin off, and the two Jack of the Fables books (even though Jack is possibly my least favorite character in the books). I look forward to getting the tenth book this June. My point is: this is an addictive series. ...

Brian K. Vaughan

Titan Books Ltd, 2003

The plot thickens and the fun continues
The first book in Brian K. Vaughan's Y: THE LAST MAN set up the premise: all the males in the world of every species have died except for loser named Yorick Brown and his pet monkey Ampersand. In the chaos that follows American society is oppressed by totalitarian Amazons, who are marked ideologically by an intense detestation of all things male (in later books they will even try to tear down ...

Making of "Star Trek"

7 reviews
Stephen E. Whitfield, Gene Roddenberry

Titan Books Ltd, 1991

A real look behind the scenes
This is a classic. It is the first book of its kind, and probably the first book about Star Trek at all. But The Making of Star Trek is much more than any of the later books with similar names. This book doesn't idealize or simplify the making of the series. It doesn't enthusiastically praise everything and everyone involved in its production. It is an authentic and meticulous report on how TOS ...

Doesn't bite
"Bite Club," a too-brief miniseries from DC Comics' Vertigo line, introduces readers to the Del Toro family, an undead crime family whose story falls somewhere between "Kindred," "The Sopranos" and "Days of Our Lives." Eduardo Del Toro is the family patriarch, who reigns over his family and its interests with an iron fist. But, since Eduardo is killed on the very first page, you can bet the ...

Judge for yourself
While I did indeed love "Kingdom Come" I actually think "The Kingdom" is a much better comic. But let's explain a few things (without spoilers). "The Kingdom" was a graphic novel done in one piece. It's style is very photorealistic and, indeed, I'm almost positive much of the art was created by tracing photo images (the artist himself admits he worked extensively from hundreds of photos). ...

Titan Books Ltd, 1993

Incredible story!
I've read many Star Trek books throughout the years and can unequivocally say this is the best one. This book is for serious readers only. It tackles many deep issues and is loaded with metaphors. The central theme is whether immortality is worth the price of your soul. The prose is amazing and is almost poetic. It is very dark compared to the original series but the loyalty and pure ...
