For anyone who's a fan of 1) The "Golden Age" of DC Comics; 2) Great team books; 3) Compelling superheroes; or 4) Old-fashioned comic book grandeur, you can't do much better than The Justice Society Returns! I picked it up not knowing worlds about the golden age: Of course I knew Wonder Woman ...

Can't Get No 4 reviews Rick Veitch
Vertigo, 2006
An Amazing Reader Experience
+ You Can Get This! + Unique, captivating comic book
Don't purchase this book with the expectation that it will "read" like any other graphic novel. What Rick has created with this tale is a new model within the graphic novel art form and it takes a little getting used to. I intended to read it casually over a few days in between other things going ...

DC Comics, 2004
Very Fun
I really liked this book. A short story w/ a unique creative team on one golden age JSA member followed by (or preceded by, in some cases) a short story about their modern incarnation. The book is a sampler platter for all kinds of talent. Geoff Johns does most of the writing but all the ...

King Hell Press, 2005
Unsettling stuff...
Plot SPOILERS here and there.
Rick Veitch supposes that, sometimes, an idea comes along that is so in sync with the times that it manifests as a living entity. In Siberia, in 1908, a Russian trapper becomes party to the conception of a strange infant, an infant who is then placed in an egg and ...

Liberty Meadows Volume 2 (Liberty Meadows (Graphic Novels)) 2 reviews Frank Cho
Image Comics, 2006
Comfort those creatures
+ Even more Frank Cho fun!
Frank Cho's "Liberty Meadows" was one of the most original comic strips in years, with its hard-partying, gun-wielding animals and often insane storylines. And things get even stranger with the second collection of strips, "Volume 2: Creature Comforts."
The animals (and people) of Liberty ...

+ What James Bond would be as a women + Fun spy-thriller graphic novel
If you ask for my favourite genre in comics (or any part of the entertainment industry, really), the first answer you'll get from me is unlikely to be "political spy thriller." It may not be the second one, either. But if you ask me if I appreciate a well-written, well-researched, and impressively ...
