Tested in Every Way: The Catholic Priest in the Church Today2 reviews
Christopher Ruddy

The Crossroad Publishing Company, 2007

A Good Contribution

This short summary of the conference held by the Catholic Common Ground Initiative in March 2003 at San Antonio regarding the situation and future of the Catholic Priesthood in The United States is a very worthy contribution to the discussion. It does not offer fully outlined answers but, it does ...

All Star Superman, Vol. 136 reviews
Grant Morrison

DC Comics, 2007

A comic to remind you that Superman doesn't stink

+ Man of Steel
+ Superman at his best

I have never been a fan of Superman. He is basically invincible and his comics usually end with him punching something really hard. But when I saw Grant Morrison was doing an alternate-reality run on Superman I had to pick it up. And I was glad I did. All Star Superman is one of those rare ...

The series builds

+ Peter david does it again

Having started with "Madrox" and then moving on to volume 1 before reading this, I can easily say this is a great book. It's a little slower than the first one, but the payoff in this book is mind-blowing. Layla is still a part of the team doing her "I know stuff" thing, Quicksilver drops by for a ...

Enchanting!

+ The Prestige
+ great story

This is an amazing story filled with all the suspense and intrigue you've come to expect from modern thrillers and even more. Priest creates two believable characters and sets them afloat in a self-inflicted storm of revenge and regret. Borden and Angier grab you by the throat and don't let go. ...

Monsters with badges!

+ Truly Inspiring
+ THUNDERBOLTS EXPLODES WITH ENTERTAINMENT!

This storyline is awesome! I don't want to say anything specific for anyone who hasn't read it yet. I will only say that if you're a fan of any of the characters, particularly the green goblin/norman osborn, you must read this. 'nuff said.

PAD Does it Again!

+ Peter David does it again... This book may not be his usual brilliants but it is still a must read.
+ A pleasant surprise, overall

Well, after reading the first few reviews on Amazon, I was a little hesitant to dive into this novel, even though PAD is by far my favorite Trek novelist. But, after "Resistance", which I thought was written like a Scholastic book aimed at readers 10-12, and Q & A, which I enjoyed for the most ...

The Re-imaging of Cap for a New Generation

+ A fun riff on the Captain America mythos
+ I enjoyed this very much

This book made me fall in love with comics all over again after about a 15 year absence (the release of the horrible G.I. Joe #50). If Marvel put out a hardcover book like this 'bout Cap every year I would buy it the day it was released. I love its "catalogue" feel. Like a Cap sampler. There's ...
