Review:I weakened and bought this book a second time, not quite remembering why I disliked it. After all, Mark Millar is one of my favorite modern comics scribes and this story has been announced as the basis for the next "Captain America" movie. Then, after reading the let down of a "climax," I remembered what bothered me. I also bought the companion comic, "Choosing Sides", and another, even more compelling reason to be unhappy with this "epic" story hit me square in the heart. Does anybody remember... Read more

Review:Awesome story, although it does get a bit repetitive. For those wondering whether or not to get the other two volumes as well, lets just say I was happy enough with the ending to volume one. There were a few loose ends, but I hear v. 2 & 3 get REALLY repetitive. Read more

Review:Basically a year one redux! This book picks up with one of Batman's first outings, a failure. While he has been trained by the best, he is very much a green super hero.

Lots of things in the mythology have been changed. Alferd is no longer a butler, but was hired by Thomas Wayne as head of security just prior to he and his wife's death. In present time Oswald Cobbelpot (the penguin) is Mayor and is implicated in the Deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne. Martha Wayne comes from the Arkham fam... Read more

Review:The long Halloween is an entertaining read that captivated me with every turn of the page. The artwork perfectly set the mood for the story and the writer stayed true to the characters and the fans of batman. I appreciate the convenience of being able to read other people's reviews and purchase products on the same site and I really enjoy being shown related items. It makes it very easy to find other things I would like to purchase as well. The only problem I had was that I bought a new book and... Read more

Review:Buyer Beware,
Even though you are purchasing the amazing story of "The Man Who Laughs" a wonderful rendition of Batman's first encounter with his arch-nemisis, you will also buy an additional 65 pages worth of filler material in a story titled "Made of Wood", a story with absolutely no relation to the Joker and centers around Alan Scott, the original Green Lantern.

My main gripe with this publication is that this extra feature is not indicated anywhere on the product itself.

Review:This is the first volume in the Immortal Iron Fist ongoing story line and it is a pretty solid read. It introduces several key elements that come to fruitation in the isssues to come. You are introduced to the concept that there have been many Iron Fist and you are introduced to a handful of them. Fraction is the main writer in this story but he collabrates with Ed Brubaker who is a phenomanal writer and the one behind the current volume of Captain America. If you like Daredevil I would say you ... Read more

Review:I ordered this book on the recommendation of a friend. I had heard that it was a children's book, but that many adults really loved it. I'm not into Harry Potter or anything, but I thought I might enjoy it. It wasn't bad, but I wouldn't rate it as fantastic, either. It was well written and creative, but if you like a challenge, this won't do it for you. Read more

Review:I really loved this book! It strikes a perfect balance between being extraordinarily funny and providing profound truth about the bizarre motivations, fears, and aspirations of we long distance runners. Read more

Review:Item was ordered as a gift for a collector. When it was received it was bent and this makes the recipient very unhappy with the conditon of the book. Should have been shipped in a box vice an envelope where it was bent out of shape and now has a crease in it that won't flatten out. Read more

Review:doesn't work well on the kindle, the grayscale makes some of the dialog hard to read and you can't turn it landscape. I needed to enlarge every page and drag it around to read. I really liked the series but I'll not get another graphic novel for my kindle paperwhite Read more
