What If? Classic Vol. 1 (Marvel Heroes)

Roy Thomas, Jim Shooter, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Why Not?
I agree this should have been an Essentials offering. But it's a fun read never the less and it paved the way for stronger stories in later issues. As far as expectations maybe we are too jaded in this new century to appreciate what Roy Thomas and other's were doing. ...

Stone Junction

Jim Dodge

Grove Press, 1998

Crazy Sanity
Stone Junction reads like a literary Frankenstein construct - equal parts Tom Robbins' whimsy, Umberto Eco's esotericism, and Ken Kesey's individualism/anarchism, yet it is all Jim Dodge's brilliance. If this witches brew makes you blanche in horror then avoid this ...

Essential Marvel Horror Volume 2 TPB (v. 2)
Steve Gerber, Tony Isabella, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A voodoo virtuoso. A devil-tainted demi-druid. A half-mad minister. A creature of the crypts, a man-mountain of marble, and a giddy giggling ghoul - these are the horrific heroes who protect the world from forces even more frightening than themselves! Demons, zombies, warlocks, and terrorists - all in these nightmarish narratives from the shocking ...

Essential Dr. Strange, Vol. 3 (Marvel Essentials) (v. 3)

Steve Englehart, Frank Brunner, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

not a bad distraction
First of all, let's set the terms of this review. I was aware that this was b/w prior to ordering it and I was okay with that. Also, I had never read even a single issue of Doctor Strange, so I really have no frame of reference with regard to the comic's legacy. At age ...

Mean Streets

Jim Butcher, Kat Richardson, ...

Roc Trade, 2009

Good for the Dresden fans
If you are a fan of Butcher's Dresden stories definitely pick this up. I love his books but I was unimpressed with the story in The Dresden Files: Welcome to the Jungle and was totally underwhelmed with Backup and had concluded that Butcher had lost interest in ...

Negotiate to Win: The 21 Rules for Successful Negotiating

Jim Thomas

Collins Business, 2005

Great Book easy and fun to read
Unlike Herb Cohen's book "Negotiate This" Negotiate to Win: The 21 Rules for Successful Negotiating will teach tricks of the trade from page one. This book will lay out how to start the negotiation, how to react to first offers, how to get to a great postion to ...

Essential Marvel Team-Up, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials) (v. 1)

Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

Classic Marvel Fun
This is how I'll always remember these characters. Fun self-contained stories, melodramatic and smart-mouthed heroes. Good Times!

The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings

Thomas Hylton, Gianna Bellofatto, ...

Satya House Publications, 2007

The Bicycle Book: Wit, Wisdom and Wanderings
Wit, Wisdom & Wanderings is a collection of stories, cartoons, essays and interviews that address all aspects of bike riding. It surely belongs in the collection of everybody who ever set foot to pedal. The wit in the title is abundantly demonstrated in six essays ...

Essential Classic X-Men, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials) (v. 2)

Roy Thomas, Gary Friedrich, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

It's About Bloody Time, Marvel!
Marvel released volume one in this series YEARS ago, and they have finally given us volume two. The stories in this volume are very rarely reprinted, and are very entertaining. Worth a look, especially if you're a mutant continuity nut like me.

Essential Ghost Rider, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Roy Thomas, Michael Ploog, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Just Getting Warmed Up
Ghost Rider battles Satan, the ultimate adversary, who unfortunately comes across as a stereotypical, almost comically inept supervillian. A necessary look at the character's origins, but it only got better from here.

Batman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told, Vol. 2

Brian Michael Bendis, Bob Kane, ...

DC Comics, 2007

A COUPLE OF SILVER AGE STUMBLES BUT OTHERWISE SOLID
The second volume is DC Comics' Batman: The Greatest Stories Ever Told, proves to be vastly superior to first, featuring stories culled over a period of sixty-plus years of Dark Knight history. While the stories are usually presented chronologically, this one ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 6 (Marvel Essentials) (v. 6)

Steve Englehart, Roy Thomas, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Avengers Assemble!
An excellent collection of The Avengers and their ongoing adventures! How could you not like the introduction of Thanos and the recruitment of Beast?!

Invaders Classic Volume 2 TPB (v. 2)

Roy Thomas, Ed Summer, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

More classic Invaders Please
Gotta' say, this second edition is just as much fun and just as much a blast from my past as the first. I've actually read several of the stories in this volume many times as the whole 'Battle of Berlin' is just an example of a great comic story line to me but it is ...

A Handbook of Civil War Bullets and Cartridges

Jim Thomas, Dean S. Thomas

Thomas Publications (PA)

Great Book!
I have had this book for 2 years and it is the best reference on the topic of Civil War bullets. It is paper back, so you can take it with you to the shows and shops to check the dealer identification. You can't miss with this price.

Universe X, Vol. 2 (v. 2)

Alex Ross, Jim Krueger, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Wonderful
I bought both volumes of Universe X without knowing Earth X was the first part of the story and proceeded to read them the second I got back from the store. I absolutely loved them. I imagine reading Earth X first would have illuminated certain areas of the story but ...
