Family Values (Sin City, Book 5: Second Edition)31 reviews
Frank Miller
Dark Horse, 2005
Underrated Gem.
Frank Miller's Sin City will always stand as the most full-steam, no-holds-barred series out there. Book 5 of 7, Family Values is a tale of justice. Miller's stories of Basin city always deliver, with hardcore violence and gritty dialogue. Don't get me wrong Family Values isn't as nearly as The ...

The short stories collected here are not all brand new (Chivalry, Troll Bridge), but there's some 2006 and 2007 short stories you may not have ...

Batman: The Dark Knight Returns338 reviews
Frank Miller
DC Comics, 1997
One of the best Batman stories

+ 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.
