Death: The High Cost of Living 61 reviews Neil Gaiman
Vertigo, 1994
Death is really a sweetie
+ Interesting story, great read
For me, as for many fans of the "Sandman" series, the best character is Death. Gaiman conceives her not as a frightening figure in a cowl and carrying a scythe, but as an exceedingly perky young woman who wears black jeans and leotards and sports rather Goth-y makeup. She likes people -- she meets ...

Red Rocket 7 5 reviews Mike Allred, Laura Allred
Dark Horse, 1998
Red Rocket 7 - Allred does it again.
+ He just wants to Rock + Red Rocket Rocks!
I borrowed this little book from a friend of mine, and was blown away. I was familiar with Mike Allreds work with madman and even the new X-Force comic as well as other magical projects, but nothing prepared me for this. As a music fan, there has never been a better fusion of music and comics ...

Ultimate Spider-Man Vol. 1: Power and Responsibility 60 reviews Brian Michael Bendis
Marvel Comics, 2002
This Spider-man rocks!
+ Ultimate Spider-Man is great!!! + Ultimate Spider-Man
I'm not really very knowledgeable about the Spider-man mythos or comic books in general. I do, however, know what I like--and I loved this.
The medium might be two-dimensional, but the story is anything but flat. Peter Parker's metamorphosis from high school nerd into wise-cracking webslinger ...

The Complete Madman Comics Volume 2 (Madman Comics) 4 reviews Mike Allred, Laura Allred
Dark Horse, 1996
The second collection of Madman Comics
+ Awesome + Madman Comics - a pretty good argument for literacy
Okay. This is the THIRD series of Madman comics and the first available on Dark Horse Comics. This is actually Madman Comics Volume 2 and it includes an introduction by Kevin Smith. Since the first volume isn't exactly available anymore, this is probably as good as it gets. Combined here are four ...

Bizarro Comics (Bizarro) 6 reviews Chris Duffy
DC Comics, 2001
Pretty Amusing.
+ I got mine autographed by Kyle Baker! + Coool idea
The variety of storytelling styles by the dozens of creators who worked on this book almost guarantees that no reader will like every single story (or, conversely, hate every one). The types of humor vary widely also: there's MAD- and PowerPuff Girl-style parodies, Ren-and-Stimpy-type weirdness, ...
