Batman: The Dark Knight Returns338 reviews
Frank Miller
DC Comics, 1997
One of the best Batman stories
+ Changing the face of Batman
+ Fantastic
Well, the title sums up my opinion on The Dark Knight Returns, though it certainly isn't the best-rounded Batman story of all time, it still leaves a significant impact on readers. The story peaks at many points, and makes large dips at others, but the ending makes up for all its minor flaws.

What if you live in a tiny town in Kansas? What if your last name is Kent, and your parents, having an annoying sense of humor, have christened you "Clark"?

Bill Willingham
Vertigo, 2002
Best comic book series ever?
+ Off to a Great Start
+ Very Good But Not Spectacular Start
This will go down in comics history as one of the top comic books in the industry if not the best. A testament to the series is that it transcends the hobby where even soccer moms, schoolteachers, and others that wouldn't normally pick up a comic book like it. When it comes to comic book geeks we ...

Grant Morrison
DC Comics, 2008
Complete, total perfection
+ Man of Steel
+ Superman at his best
Morrison has written some great comics - New X-Men, Doom Patrol, WE3, Animal Man, JLA, and the list goes on - but this might be the best thing he's ever created. He strips Superman down to the basics, blending Silver Age earnestness with wild, far-ranging science fiction and mythology, and in the ...

The First Appearance of Many Great Characters!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jack Kirby's Fourth World Omnibus is another Kirby hit!
Superman, Jimmy Olsen, Orion, Lightray, Mister Miracle, and Darkseid is just a fraction of the number of heroes and villians in this book.
After reading the reviews for this omnibus, I was worried that the paper quality wasn't going to be ...
