Tek just keeps getting better
I love this series! Tek just keeps getting sillier, and a little darker too. A loving parody of sci-fi comics of yesteryear, Tek is James Bond meets Inspector Clouseau in a Flash Gordon universe. Drawn and inked beautifully on durable stock, this would make the ...

Xena Warrior Princess Volume II TPB (Xena)

John Layman

Dynamite Entertainment, 2008

Love the Dark Xena!
As a big Xena fan I'm extremely happy to see new stories and I really enjoyed this one, plus volume 1. I think it is a bit funny that the writer/illustrators prefer Gabrielle with long hair and the old style costume, but who cares? I'm not a comic or graphic novel ...

Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness

John Layman, Fabiano Neves, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

shop s mart for this great title
After reading the Army of darkness Re-Animator crossover I was a little leery about giving this cross over a try. However I was very pleasantly surprised to see just how wrong I was. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Here we find our hero Ash ...

Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen #1

Stephen Colbert, John Layman, ...

Oni Press, 2007

Tek Jansen - a must read!
When I heard that the Tek Jansen comics were coming out, I was at first nervous. Would the comics be just as good as the show, or would they fall short of Stephen Colbert's hilarious brand of comedy and disappoint me? Luckily, Tek Jansen issue number one managed to ...

Stephen Colbert's Tek Jansen #2

John Layman, Tom Peyer, ...

Oni Press, 2008

Fun as always
Took a while to get here, but it was worth it. Almost. It would have been more worth it a few months ago. :) But as a member of Colbert Nation, I must recommend this as highly as possible. I give it 18 stars. (And it really is a fun read.)

John Layman, Dave Crosland

SCAREFACE IS BACK!!!!!
Buyers of amazon if you love scareface you will love this new exciting comic. I loved this book so much that I read it in one hour. I didn't realize that scareface is suspenseful and action. The next scareface is Scareface: Devil in Disguise. That comes out June 18, ...

Astonishing X-Men: Gambit, Vol. 2 - Hath No Fury

John Layman, Georges Jeanty, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Why was this book cancelled?
Gambit: Hath no Fury is the brilliant follow up to Gambit: House of Cards. The scripting is fast paced, the characterization is fierce and the penciling tight. All this technical brilliance sparkles around 3 tales of our favorite Cajun. In Voodoo Economics, ...

The Illustrated Left Behind: A Graphic Novel of Earth's Last Days (Lahaye, Tim F. Left Behind Series.)

John S. Layman, Aaron Lopresti, ...

Tyndale House Publishers, 2002

my 9 year old loved this book!
I got this for my 9 year old son who has been listening to the "Left Behind" series on audio. He was delighted with this illustrated novel, and couldn't keep his nose out of it. The only down side is they don't complete the series.
