Review:Alexander Marchand's thoroughly enjoyable book is like ACIM 'Cliff Notes' in comic book form. It's loaded with superb visual humor and metaphors, and remarkable depth and insight disguised as a VERY fun read. For those that want in-depth non-dual metaphysics in a graphically engaging format (including some very cool glyphs for concepts we can all relate to), this one is a total page-turner. I couldn't put it down. Try it, you'll like it! You might even find you are less interested in polishing a... Read more
Review:This is an interesting fairy tale story for adults. The book is nicely formatted so that you can read the captions and view the artwork on each panel on the computer. Both story and artwork are quite good and I look forward to reading more in this series. Read more
Review:A very sweet and exciting beginning. I hardly ever read comics anymore, but this makes me want to check out more of Vaughan's work. The characters read as real and relatable to someone like me, who was once a teenager. Read more
Review:Batman and Robin vol2 is a solid continuation of Grant Morrison's Batman writing. Dick revives Batman not knowing it is a Darkseid clone of his mentor with bad reesults and Talia with help from Deathstroke is able to take control of Damian and turn him against Dick in the second story.The second story is claerly superior to the first which has throwaway villians and an unexplained main plot. Tnere is a nice ending to the volumes second story which promises more fireworks in following issues.A g... Read more
Review:Bought my girlfriend this to sort of surprise her. She's always loved the movie and she showed me the movie and that was my first time watching the movie so I looked into it more. I found out it was based on a comic series of the same name so I decided to buy here this. She's already read most of it and she is just in love with it! The character and the art design is what she loves the most! If you're a fan of The Crow, I'd suggest picking this up for any fan! They'll enjoy it for sure. Read more
Review:Given that I am not familiar with Russel's philosophical work, I was delighted that I was able to follow this with relatively little difficulty. I don't really think that it was meant to be an in-depth account of his theory, just a titillating introduction to further study. I also enjoyed the story in itself, as well as the creative self-referential style in which it was presented. I hope they do more on other intellectuals, I would certainly buy them. Read more
Review:The fish people have boobs. Why? They are not mammals. They are not even proto-mammals. It isn't even like they appear for very long, and I'm pretty sure that Rick Remender isn't trying to get us to buy the book on the basis of the sex appeal of its fish people. Why, then, do the fish people have breasts? Read more
Review:Marvels is a wonderful story of living in the Marvel Universe while magnificent and terrifying things happen around you. Told from the perspective of a photojournalist, Marvels tells how it is to live in a world where grand battles and fantastic figures are everyday occurrences. Beautifully painted by Alex Ross, and deftly told by Kurt Busiek with tremendous effort for continuity and preservation of established history, Marvels is a true spectacle of comic art.

Review:This is anachronism done right by Neil Gaiman. The title gives one the jist of this graphic novel’s theme. It’s the Marvel Universe circa 1602. There’s a big cast of Marvel characters in this collection of eight comics. However, those who don’t follow comics might not recognize some of the characters because they are decidedly less comic-esque in this take. The characters mostly go by their given names rather than their superhero nom de guerre and not one of them wears spandex—and even capes ar... Read more
Review:Incredible story, very human and sensible. It also shows how kids, who have a sexual orientation thats not heterosexual, feel about being discriminated by friends and family in a very realistic way that you can relate to. Read more
