Review:First I'm a little disappointed in the folks who never bothered to read the product description that clearly states this is a comic, and just assumed Homecoming was the next in the Mercy Thompson novel series, and are now crying because it's not what they thought. That said, this graphic novel is awesome.

It is an original story, that takes us to when Mercy first arrived in the tri-cities. Of course she can't show up to a new city and not get herself in the middle of werewolf pack polit... Read more

Review:Amazing to see a Muslim minority superhero, but more than that it’s actually really well done as a Marvel comic in general. Also the challenges she faces as a minority are well depicted, it’s not stereotyping and just felt so right. Can’t wait to read more! Read more

Review:My daughter loves this heroine, and she's a decent roll model. Spunky, perky, and really funny ... not afraid to fight if she has to but also clever enough to talk her way out of situations and avoid violence. Read more

Review:I have never been so disappointed in anything in my life!! I took the word "graphic" to mean that the story would be bloodthirsty etc because it was supposed to be the story told from Jamie's point of view. It ended up being a lurid comic strip thing on shiny paper and the drawings were terrible in my opinion. I suppose we all have a picture in our head about what Jamie and Claire might look like but this book ruined it for me. I have shown this book to family and friends and they are all di... Read more

Review:I was so looking forward to more Buffy. But I found this collection scattered and lacking in the character and depth of the show. The art is beautiful, and the basic ideas are OK, but the story is scattered and confusing. And though the 'future world' for Buffy and friends is neat, I was sad to see Buffy and Willow (and Xander in his own way) relagated to simple superheroes instead of richly charactered, complex people who had greatness thrust upon them. Still, I'll be back for more. Read more

Review:I'm somewhere between a three and a four on this. Nguyen's artwork is incredible, and some of the best I've seen from him. I love his designs, and the watercolor look works extremely well for the painterly vibe of the story. Lemire etches a nook of his own in the sci-fi world here, with a lovingly developed world, full of unique races and planets. All of these ideas hit familiar notes though, and at the end of volume one, I'm still waiting for Lemire to show me why this work is different from wh... Read more

Review:I read mysteries and horror/fantasy only occasionally because I can usually guess whodunit or whydunit (as I did here) or because I find the fantasy too unconvincing (Tolkien being an exception), so why bother. However, I am enjoying this series, despite some sloppy writing/editing and holes in the plots, because Hamilton does create a convincing alternate reality and her chracterizations are, on the whole, very good. And Jean-Claude is just a great character, as is Anita. However, [SPOILERS A... Read more

Review:and desairing. nothing of value in here. I read about a tenth and am trying to make my way through a few pages a week. I don't understand why anyone would write this book nor why anyone would buy it. The description on Amazon isn't accurate in my mind. I was thinking this might be some kind of art deco book but it's totally, mind blowingly decadent. Read more

Review:Those of you who know me here on Amazon know that I generally tend to get into an overabundance of detail when it comes to my comic reviews.

GET JIRO! is one that doesn't need it.

Plotted and co-scripted by famous chef and TV personality Anthony Bourdain, we get a future where food rules the world. A lone sushi chef who is caught between a corporate giant food lord (read: crime lord) and a unscrupulous organic macrobiotic vegetarian food lord and everyone wants him for his skill. H...

Review:Probably my favourite coloring book to date! I didn't want to color in it because it's so beautifully illustrated, but I finished the first double page spread and I plan on doing the rest. Markers don't bleed through either which is a big plus for me since colored pencils sometimes hurt my hand to color with for long periods of time. Read more
