Wolverine: Evolution 11 reviews Jeph Loeb, Simone Bianchi
Marvel Comics, 2007
well, I rather liked it
+ All-Around Awesome + Bloody Awesome!
Personally, I thought this was a great story (Loeb is a great writer) and I found the art to be very good as well. Perhaps the dialogue could have used a little more work and there are a few weak points here and there, but overall it is a great addition to the story of Logan. I'd say I'd miss ...

The Ultimates, Vol. 1 64 reviews Mark Millar
Marvel Comics, 2004
AWESOME
+ Unexpected
I was never a comic fan until I read this and Watchmen. For a noob in the comic world, the Ultimates changed how I saw comics and now I'm a huge Mark Millar fan. I highly recommend this trade! Just beware that vol 2 book 2 fell short for me in the series. There was so much build up in vol ...

Wildstorm, 2007
Alan Moore's Summer Blockbuster!
+ Ignore the negative reviews, this book is AWESOME!
Sometimes we get so used to a creator breaking new ground that when he just tells a great story on an existing landmass, we think he wrote a bad story. All the reveiwers here that claim this book is bad, are those type of people. If you look at Alan Moore's Tom Strong books, they are not like ...

Midnighter, Vol. 1: Killing Machine 3 reviews Garth Ennis, Chris Sprouse, ...
Wildstorm, 2007
Classic Garth Ennis Mayhem
If you enjoyed the Kev books, you'll get a kick out of Ennis' run on MIDNIGHTER. While this run was controversial for its hyperbolic intro ("not a lover, not a father, not a friend"), it quickly gets down to brass tacks with Ennis' usual zany characters, sarcastic dialogue, and situations which ...

New Avengers Vol. 5: Civil War 12 reviews Brian Michael Bendis
Marvel Comics, 2007
New Avengers continues to be great
+ In Retrospect, Insightful and Pertinent + good but not great
Great stuff. Not for the uninitiated, but fans of New Avengers and Civil War should love this. The best of the Civil War tie-in books. Highlights are the Leinil Yu Cage issue and the Chaykin Captain America issue.

Vampires beware
The premise of a black ops team being organized to battle tribes of vampires is an intriguing one, as are the entities that comprise it. In this particular case that includes, among others, a vampire, a cyborg, and a difficult to categorize individual named Ab-Death. Plus they are joined by a ...

plah!
+ Solid comic-book storytelling + A Fresh Start
Since I don't want any confusion I did not give it 5 stars I it more than generously deserves only 2. Someone else was using my account and I haven't figured out how to change the star rating yet. Stupid b*st*rd slandering my good name.
