James Robinson

DC Comics, 2006

Two-face at his best. Sort of.

+ The return of Two Face
+ One year later...

Face the Face centers mostly around a two-face plot, and really gives insight into how the character thinks. If you don't know anything about Harvey Dent, it doesn't matter, because the basics of his character are covered without being redundant for readers already familiar with him. The plot is ...

Simular to Midnight Nation

It is similar to Midnight Nation, although Midnight Nation is superior. Like Midnight nation you are delving in religious mythology and have appearances from the Archangel Michael. The art is not quite as good as Midnight Nation's, and at points, detracts from the story because it is not always ...

Visceral action in Greg Rucka's spy-thriller classic

"Operation Storm Front" is the fifth volume of Greg Rucka's "Queen And Country" series, reprinting issues #16-20 of this increasingly dense, gripping spy-thriller saga.

Babylon 5 creator J.
