Review:Remember Jason Aaron’s Punisher MAX run a few years ago? That series killed off the classic Punisher, the Vietnam vet Frank Castle, and subsequently resurrected him as a thirtysomething vet of an unnamed war (so as not to date him). But the way Aaron killed off Frank was glorious: a heavily beaten Frank managed to kill his way through his greatest enemies before finally falling himself. It was so perfect it remains my favourite character death storyline ever.

So now it’s Charles Soule’s t... Read more

Review:James Patterson's fantastic story is one again brought to life in this fantastical manga. Although, I will admit, I don't know what's going on in the story because icing only read up to the party where Max realizes that Dr. Martinez is her mom and they all fly away. But in saving up to buy the rest of the books and the ones I've already read. Read more

Review:I am a fan of the series. Honestly, I thought it was a very good read, although frustrating between Dylan and Fang. I love Fang, but this book kind of makes you like Dylan a little too. However, the wait for the last book is much too long! JP ends "Angel" with a massive cliffhanger! And we have to wait a flippin' YEAR to find out what happens! Other than unresolved issues and a frustrating romantic plot, this book was a pretty good one. Not the best of the series, but it definitely holds your at... Read more

Review:I enjoyed the entire James Patterson Maximum Ride series. It was fast paced and gripping. The storyline is perfect for young adult readers as well as adult readers. Each book left you wanting more. It would be great to see another book down the road showing how the characters have grown up and continued in the world they live. All in all, a fantastic series!

Review:To accurately picture Transmetropolitan's dystopic view of the future as seen through the eyes of outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem, think of a bizarre blend of Hunter S. Thompson, Phillip K. Dick's Blade Runner and Judge Dredd. You've got abouit half of the concept down now. Transmetropolitan is undoubtably one of the most ferociously innovative comics in recent memory, and my simple review cannot fully explain it. Seriously, buy this comic. You will not be disappointed!

Review:The 2nd book in the inevitable trilogy continues to impress. Who doesn't love superheroes and who doesn't love zombies? A perfect mix. This book does leave a lot of open ends which lends it self well to a 3rd book. Everything does tie in though at the end and creates for some nice twists and turns. I also really enjoy military/zombie books and this book also incorporates that aspect that it was right up my alley. Like the first book, I finished it in a couple days. Read more

Review:I'm an avid reader of most anything post-apocalyptic and Ex-Heroes was a welcome deviation from the standard zombie survival novel. At first I thought the inclusion of super heroes was a recipe for ridiculousness put gosh darn did Mr. Clines pull it off. Strong characters utilizing (relatively) realistic tactics made this a great read.

Being a Los Angeleno I found the geographic accuracy particularly entertaining, from the landmarks to the street names. I could actually visualize exactl... Read more

Review:For those unacquainted with Ex-Heroes, this is the fourth book in a series about zombies and superheroes. Clines writes with a natural, engaging style and his books are wonderfully easy to read. Genre authors often fall into ruts of purple prose, done-to-death tropes and predictable antics - and Clines effortlessly rises above those shortcomings by breathing life into his work.
Start with Ex-Heroes. These books are episodic, but he doesn't slow down very much to catch up new readers.

Review:Loved this one. The two separate stories were both compelling. At times I was annoyed when one switched because I wanted to continue, then by the end of that chapter I wasted that story to continue. Good build and climax. Read more
