Howard Chaykin, James Sherman, ...

Image Comics, 2008

THIS is how you make an "Omnibus"!
Image puts Marvel and DC to shame with this definitive edition of one of the most distinctive and memorable comics of the 80s, by one of the most creative (and underappreciated) writer/artists in the field. This is a professional-quality hardbound edition that will ...

Michael Chabon Presents. . .The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist, Volume 1

Michael Chabon, Glen David Gold, ...

Dark Horse, 2004

Live the story through the comics
After reading Michael Chabon's "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," I was disheartened to realize that comic described in the book might never be actualized, and that the descriptions and accounts of the comics in general were fantasized. However, when I ...

The Chronicles of Conan, Vol. 11: The Dance of the Skull and Other Stories

Roy Thomas, John Buscema, ...

Dark Horse, 2007

superior
This entire series of reproductions of the classic Conan comics from the 1960s and 1970s is superior. The details are incredible and the colors are more vivid than in the originals and the paper quality is superior and you will not have to worry about preservation. A ...

Wolverine: The Death Of Wolverine Premiere HC

Marc Guggenheim, Jason Aaron

Marvel Comics, 2008

Interesting to a point
Wolverine dead? Marvel would never kill off one of their most iconic characters would they? On second thought, don't answer that. All kidding aside, The Death of Wolverine isn't exactly what it sounds like it is, but instead finds Logan close to meeting his maker. ...

New Avengers, Vol. 5: Civil War (v. 5)

Brian Michael Bendis

Marvel Comics, 2007

New Avengers continues to be great
Great stuff. Not for the uninitiated, but fans of New Avengers and Civil War should love this. The best of the Civil War tie-in books. Highlights are the Leinil Yu Cage issue and the Chaykin Captain America issue.

Immortal Iron Fist, Vol. 2: The Seven Capital Cities of Heaven (v. 2)

Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction

Marvel Comics, 2008

Great Read
Volume 2 was a great read. I read the original story of Ku'n Lun when I was a boy, and this updated version does it justice.

Punisher MAX, Vol. 9: Long Cold Dark (v. 9)

Garth Ennis

Marvel Comics, 2008

Great story...but the art is ok.
I liked this book for the story but the art is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. Well I gotta be honest I never did like Goran Parlov's rendition of the in Punisher max vol 6 nor did I like Barracuda but in this story he actually becomes a pretty damned good villian and ...

Michael Chabon Presents...The Amazing Adventures of the Escapist Volume 3 (Amazing Adventures of the Escapist ...

Will Eisner, Eddie Campbell, ...

Dark Horse, 2006

Chabon addict
I have just loved the books he has written and so I found myself buying everything with his name on it. These are fun to look at.

Fafhrd And The Gray Mouser

Howard Chaykin, Mike Mignola

Dark Horse, 2007

Nearly perfect adaptations of Leiber's Classic Tales
There are two undisputed godfathers of Swords & Sorcery fiction. One is Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan, King Kill, Bran Mak Morn, and Solomon Kane; and the other is Fritz Leiber who created the duo of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. It was, in fact, Leiber himself ...

Black Kiss

Howard Chaykin

Eros Comix, 2002

a twisted tale that changed my outlook on graphic novels
I have a hardbound edition of this. This novel is pretty raw compared to his later works (especially American Century). I will concede that it is a little rough around the edges but you have to appreciate the beauty of a noir story line that go in a direction that ...

Hawkgirl: The Maw

Walter Simonson

DC Comics, 2007

Skimpy plot to match the outfits
"The Maw" is the first collection of the newly titled series, previously "Hawkman," taking place one year after the events of a distant space war that removed Hawkman from the title and left Hawkgirl to struggle on alone. Unfortunately, the story didn't really hold ...

Batman: Thrillkiller (Batgirl, Robin)

Howard Chaykin

DC Comics, 1998

thilling
This is the comic book that got me into comic books. The story is so unique and dark. The art work is beautifully painted by Dan Brereton. The artwork alone is enough to buy this book. But the story keeps right up with the great art work.
