Comics, Manga & Graphic Novels
Review:Dean Koontz' "Odd Thomas" is a wonderful character brought to life in a series of text-only novels. This graphic novel is an excellent new view of him. The story is solid, the artwork is great. Recommended! Read more
Review:If you have not read Lovecraft before then it may be hard to get into the language. No one speaks in the manner of the narrators of his stories or books anymore and sometimes, that's a shame. Sometimes, though, the flowery language hinders the stories and makes what should be a scary descent into madness a tedious grind through language. Overall, though, Lovecraft is an important literary figure and pretty much created the super weird dear god I can't fathom what that thing was that went bump... Read more
Review:These 'comics' are really well made and beautiful. I imagine that they will last forever. I can't say about the content just yet because I've purchased them as a xmas gift for my nephew who saw these at a bookstore and expressed interest. I love buying reading material for all my nephews so if they keep publishing more of these I will surely continue to buy them. Read more
Review:Okay! I gotta tell you. I have two grandsons -- one is 11 and the other is 6. Both are going to absolutely go bonkers over this book. I previewed it to make sure that it was okay to share with my grandkids. Heck, I think even the girls will get a kick out of it...from the "Grandpa, that's gross...ew....yuck! Grandpa!" kinda way. lol Boys really do get a laugh out of gross stuff. Hey, I was a boy once, too. I know. lol Good job. This is gonna be fun. And, if I get in trouble with th... Read more
Review:This is the most disappointing, and infuriating at times, comic I have read in YEARS. The only saving grace is Jim Lee's artwork, which is quite good. Not "Batman: Hush" good, but still exemplary (especially his rendering of Vicky Vale - WOW). It's apparent in this work that Frank Miller has completely moved on from Batman creatively, mentally, and emotionally. Because this is NOT a Batman story. It's Sin City with people that dress up like bats. It's angry in a loud, obnoxious way - an ab... Read more
Review:I finished this a while back, but just haven't been able to find the words to leave an intelligent review. So, I'm not going to try to leave an in-depth one. If you're a child of the eighties, or maybe even slightly later, you probably have seen the animated production of this at least once. Even so, I think you'll find taking the time to listen to or read this story to be time well-spent. It's a wonderfully lyrical, magical story. I really enjoyed the author's narration on the unabridged a... Read more
Review:Though Tyrion is one of my favorite characters, this was disappointing in that there was no new material - just quality quotes from Tyrion. Not a bad deal, just not what I expected. This might be a good coffee table book. Read more
Review:The first year of Injustice was pretty good. Kind of lagged it in the beginning but after a few chapters we get a better story. Around the time Lex and Superman start working together the series is halfway done but it's also where it is acknowledged that Superman is no longer who he used to be. To some of us it seems uncharacteristic, but rarely does Kal experience loss, so when he does, it will obviously have a major impact on his personality. He starts acting on impulse like a superpowered bra... Read more

I think im just going to buy them in bookstores from now on so i can choose the book for myself and make sure theyre in perfect condition. Read more
