Drawn & Quarterly Showcase: Book Three (Drawn & Quarterly)1 review

Drawn and Quarterly, 2005

Good work

I enjoyed Sammy Harkham's work but the rest were a joy to find. Pretty much anything from Drawn and Quarterly you have a certain expectation level, but this book was beyond what I expected.

Brilliant

+ "I only hurt them to save them. Please don't judge me."
+ Graphic SF Reader

I'm not going to go into a long-winded review. I just want to say that I really enjoyed this graphic novel. Great story and great graphics. I also enjoyed Dark Days and 30 Days of Night. I am a 36 year old female, so that will give you an idea of the difference types of people that can enjoy this ...
  
  











  



  
Kikaider Code 02: Volume 1 (Kikaider Code 02)2 reviews
Shotaro Ishinomori

CMX, 2005

A Great Remake

+ Shotaro Ishinomori would be proud

Kikaider is a Japanese superhero/android character who has appeared in manga, tokusatsu, and anime. The story is fantastic, but the original anime and manga paid tribute to Astro Boy in stylized animation and this turned most people off. Thankfully, this new manga strays as far from the original ...

Justin Gray

pretty good

Another piece to the Infinite Crisis storyline. It's an entertaining read, though I'd have to say, some time after reading it, it isn't that memorable.
  
  











  



  
Sarai, Volume 11 review
Masahiro Shibata

ComicsOne, 2001

Sci-Fi/Fantasy with a hint of S&M - one of ComicsOne's best!

All of the Sarai books are well written and the art is second to none. Although the notion of a "warrior maid" is a bit odd, the entire post-apocolyptic world is as unique as any manga/comic fan could hope for. Shibata has created a rich setting with interesting characters and many ...

In the final part of this Majestic story, things go well towards the WildCATS alien war end of things. You know, those alien conqueror types of an incredibly violent nature. A bunch of them are actually shapeshifters, to make things worse. Fight over doomsday weapons and that Earth planet ...

+ Good Read!

Reprinting New Avengers #s 16-20, the volume "New Avengers: The Collective" kicks off almost immediately after the newly re-formed Avengers announced their return to the world (see New Avengers Vol. 3: Secrets and Lies, which is another great book), and one week after the "House Of M" event (see ...

Akira Yoshida, Greg Tocchini

Marvel Comics, 2004

What a great idea.

+ Young readers would love!

This has to be one of the most refreshing ideas/stories I have read in all my years. The way the writer shows Thor's progression to worthiness, and his undying sense of adventures, is masterfully handled. Though the art/coloring is a bit spoltchy in parts, I think this is an absolutely great take ...
