Tomorrow Stories (Book 1) 3 reviews Alan Moore, Kevin Nowlan, ...
Wildstorm, 2003
Tomorrow Stories looks back to go to forward.
+ Graphic SF Reader + Tomorrow Stories: A refreshing new anthology by Alan Moore
Fans of EC comics should warm to this collection right away. It serializes five different characters with the same writer/artist team on each. ALL of the writing is by Alan Moore, who seems to be having so much fun creating new universes and characters in his America's Best Comics line. JACK B. ...

Superman/Batman Vol. 4: Vengeance 10 reviews Jeph Loeb
DC Comics, 2006
Don't skip it...
I'm not quite sure why so many people have a problem with this story. Sure it's crazy, but considering the main "villains" involved, it should be nothing else. I don't think a lot of people really "get" this story, which is so crazy...it works.
There's a ton of characters involved, and some ...

X-Men: Deadly Genesis 13 reviews Ed Brubaker, Trevor Hairsine
Marvel Comics, 2006
Instant classic!
+ Has its flaws, but it's a fun story
I honestly wonder if i read the same story as everyone else here. I think the idea that Xavier had sent in another team to Krakoa to save the xmen was really interesting. Especially in light of WHAT he did to cover it up. It sheds light on how manipulative Xavier can be and really leads into why ...

Tomorrow Stories Book 2 (Tomorrow Stories) 2 reviews Alan Moore
Wildstorm, 2005
Mixed bag with some brilliant and hilarious writing and art
I've been working my way through the work of Alan Moore since I re-started buying comics (sorry, graphic novels/sequential art) after many years away. Tomorrow Stories isn't what I'd rank as the best of A.M., but it's fun stuff, if a bit mixed. (If you haven't read Moore's Tom Strong series, I'd ...

Supreme Power: Nighthawk TPB 10 reviews Daniel Way, Steve Dillon
Marvel Comics, 2006
An interesting and entertaining take on the super-vigilante archetype.
+ Graphic SF Reader + A hellfire sermon
Originally a six-part limited series, this story is now collected in this trade paperback. It is part of Marvel's mature line, Marvel MAX, and so isn't really suitable for very young readers.
The story centers around the title character, Nighthawk, who is loosely based on DC Comic's Batman, but ...

Supreme Power: Hyperion 6 reviews J. Michael Straczynski, Dan Jurgens
Marvel Comics, 2006
Not the superb storytelling of the regular series, but still an important spin-off
+ Graphic SF Reader + You have to understand
Babylon 5 creator and Amazing Spider-Man scribe J. Michael Straczynski's re-imagining of the Squadren Supreme was nothing short of brilliantly realized comic reading. This Supreme Power spin-off, written by Straczynski and focusing on Hyperion, doesn't feature the awe inspiring and innovative ...

Top Ten: Beyond the Farthest Precinct (Top Ten) 9 reviews Paul Di Filippo
Wildstorm, 2006
Moore or less?
I loved Alan Moore's Top Ten and Smax stories. This collection is very nearly as good. Di Filippo was a great choice to continue the characters, and the art is as complex and giggle-provoking as the first volumes (we think we got most of the comix references but we're still working on a few). Take ...

Marvel Knights Spider-Man Volume 4: Wild Blue Yonder Tpb (Spider-Man (Graphic Novels)) Reginald Hudlin, Billy Tan, ...
Marvel Comics, 2005
Hollywood heavyweight Reginald Hudlin (House Party, Boomerang) has already brought you his searing vision for Black Panther. Now, he's teaming up with red-hot artist Billy Tan (X-23) to shake up everyone's favorite web-slinger by turning Peter Parker's life upside down. He's got an incredible new pad (you won't believe where), a new job, and - although he doesn't know it - a new nemesis who's ...
