This limited series is a sequel to the Will Eisner Award winner "Marvels" which if you do not have it yet, just go and buy it. It is a must have! This story fills some missing gaps and concludes the story initatied in "Marvels". Kurt Busiek takes us back to the life of a photographer…
Having the pleasure to meet, talk, and dine with Warren Pleece at the last Malta Comic con, I was eager to see his latest work in this tpb. Warren has really improved in this graphic novel. The clean artwork reminded me of ex-X-men artist Paul Smith but Warren still managed to maintain his distinctive trademark.…
Geoff Johns is presently revitalizing the DC Universe and it is no wonder that he has been offered the position of Chief Creative Officer. Regarding the comic, I was never a fan of this hero but given that this story outlines the origin of Green Lantern, master storyteller Geoff Johns gives us great characterization…
Warren Ellis has taken 4 D-list super heroes, added some new characters and came up with a story that is pure gold. This series was published in 2006 and regrettably was cancelled after 12 issues. Only recently was it collected as one whole tpb. The story revolves around these heroes that rebel after they…
The All-Star line of books are re-imagined stories not set in the regular contiuation of comics, with familiar characters as seen through the mind of star writers and pencilers. Here we have the world of the Superman myths as seen through the great mind of Grant Morrison and put on paper by the Scottish artist…
Oh no not another superhero!!! Before immersing myself in reading 10 Invincible tpbs, one after the other, I did not have any enthusiasm to read another super hero comic. Robert Kirkman once again proved me wrong as I found out that there are other superheroes beyond the ones we regularly read. His writing style of…
This was my first attempt at reading something written and drawn by David Lapham. I was truly surprised that I enjoyed myself with this wild ride. The first tpb was really a down to earth sex, drugs and rock"n"roll adventure with a mixture of violence but as soon as you continue to read the second…
Paul Cornell is an under-rated British writer who did not yet have his definitive moment in the world of comics. I have read and recommend his other work that he did on the "Wisdom" limited series and the "Captain Briatin and M I 13" series. The story is part of the Dark Reign events in…
Finally I got to read 'Captain America: Reborn' which features the comeback of Steve Rogers, though this is not a surprise. The artwork is done by Bryan Hitch, the artist of 'Ultimates' Volume 1 & 2 which suits well the mood that the regular series has evoked. The coming together of the heroes and the…
A few weeks ago I saw the trailer for The Losers film and this earned my curiosity to read the comic. After I read the tpbs I was disappointed that I did not read these excellent stories before. Andy Diggle is one of those second generation British writers who invaded America and are breathing new…
So you want to be a Superhero! Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. gave us the answer and it is a violent one and definitely geared at a mature audience. Without revealing too much, this hard cover comic book, has those shocking moments of ultra violence, with some bad language and dark humour. It also…
