Marvel Comics

Mike Carey, Ed Brubaker, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Well worth my wait
I nearly went crazy waiting for this hardcover to arrive at my library (being broke and unable to buy it, as I would've liked to do) because I kept hearing so much about it: "Messiah Complex" this and "Messiah Complex" that and "the best X-Men crossover in decades" and ...

Runaways: Dead End Kids Premiere HC (Runaways (Marvel))

Joss Whedon

Marvel Comics, 2008

A marvelous continuation of Brian K. Vaughan's wonderful creation
If you've been following comics lately it is pretty clear that Joss Whedon and Brian K. Vaughan have formed a mutual admiration society. Although THE RUNAWAYS was created in the post-House of M Marvel universe, it clearly owed its inspiration more to BUFFY THE VAMPIRE ...

World War Hulk (Marvel Comics)

Greg Pak

Marvel Comics, 2008

Hulk Smash, and Smash, and Smash
I am a huge Hulk fan. When I was a kid, it was one of the comics I would pick up each month. When Planet Hulk arrived, my fanfare for the Green Goliath was renewed. Even though this story might be a bit lacking in plot - it is supposed to be. I have learned that when ...

Civil War (Marvel Comics)

Mark Millar

Marvel Comics, 2007

Best Marvel Event since... ever!
Before i read Civil war, i followed some marvel titles like Daredevil, Astonishing X-men and New Avengers, but was mostly interested in DC titles. Once i read Civil War, i havent lost interest in the whole landscape of the Marvel Universe, its just so exciting and the ...

Marvel Zombies 2

Robert Kirkman

Marvel Comics, 2008

Sometimes the heroes come back from the dead
Im a huge fan of the series. Now this isnt as good as the first series but damn close to it. We see the 6 surviving Marvel Zombies (Giant Man, Spiderman, Wolverine, Iron Man, Hulk and Luke Cage) now known as the Glactus (after eating the original) and they are now ...

The Gunslinger Born (The Dark Tower Graphic Novel)

Peter David, Stephen King, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Great back story for the Dark Tower series
This was a really good book and added to the over all story of the Dark Tower story line. The illustration was great and made the story come to life. The only draw back is if you have not read the Dark Tower series you may feel as if you were left hanging.

Astonishing X-Men Vol. 1: Gifted

Joss Whedon, John Cassaday

Marvel Comics, 2004

This is What The "X-Men" Are All About
Cyclops, Beast, Emma Frost, Kitty Pryde, and Wolverine. these are the Astonishing X-Men, set out to protect the very people that hate them, and now someone has found a "Cure" for the mutation chromosome people are calling a "disease".This is one of the greatest X-men ...

Astonishing X-Men Vol. 4: Unstoppable

Joss Whedon

Marvel Comics, 2008

Nearly Flawless Conclusion to a Redefining (albeit uneven) Run
If someone told me a couple of years ago that a X-Men comic would move me to tears, I'd pat them on the shoulder and tell them to lay off the booze. Well, either Joss Whedon is one of the best writers in the field or I'm more sensitive than I thought, because with ...

Hedge Knight II: Sworn Sword Premiere HC (Hedge Knight II)

George R. R. Martin, Ben Avery, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A great follow up to an already great series
When I read the first Hedge Knight, I was blown away by the story, art and detail. I never expected Marvel to adapt Song of Ice and Fire to a graphic novel. I was kind of skeptical at first...but then i read it and it was everything and more. The Sworn Sword is the ...

Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter: Guilty Pleasures Volume 2 HC (Anita Blake Vampire Hunter (Marvel Hardcover))

Laurell K. Hamilton, Jess Ruffner-Booth, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Bored patriot....
I still have high hopes for this GN. I never read the original series of novels but I think that the graphic novel has a potential for greatness however I have found the dialog to be horribly lacking!!! Most of the time its hard to follow as it is completely ...

The Road to Civil War (Spider-Man, Fantastic Four)

J. Michael Straczynski, Brian Michael Bendis, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Marvel's "Illuminati"
You know, this is just a great book, a great story leading up to another great story arc, and a cataclysmic event for the Marvel Universe. And really, who else would it be other than these men (Xavier, Reed Richards, Tony Stark, Namor, Black Bolt, and Black Pather--did ...

Mighty Avengers Vol. 2: Venom Bomb

Brian Michael Bendis

Marvel Comics, 2008

Avengers Rock On
Is there a skrull in the house? The post civil war conspiracy continues...Brian Michael Bendis continues his tremendous run on Tony Stark's new assemblage of heroes and is reunited with artist Mark Bagley. The Mighty Avengers are in fact, a pretty old combo of ...

Astonishing X-Men Vol. 2: Dangerous

Joss Whedon, John Cassaday

Marvel Comics, 2005

Joss Whedon and John Cassaday continue to astonish
Collecting "Astonishing X-Men" issues 7-12, this trade paperback features the X-Men versus a newly-sentient Danger Room. Action, fisticuffs, technology gone wild, it's all here. Sound pretty simple, though, to support a six-issue arc? Well, in the old days of more ...

The Death of Captain America, Vol. 2

Ed Brubaker

Marvel Comics, 2008

I'm a believer
Ed Brubaker's critically acclaimed run on Captain America has seemingly been celebrated by everyone, except me. I hadn't been all that thrilled with Brubaker's run thus far, and while for me personally it hasn't been anything terrible in the least, bringing Bucky back ...

Astonishing X-Men Vol. 3: Torn

Joss Whedon

Marvel Comics, 2007

Best X-Men run ever?
Torn, the third volume in Whedon and Cassaday's stellar Astonishing X-Men run, captures the essence of both the X-Men as a brand and the characters themselves. For those who are familiar with Grant Morrison's run on New X-Men, the Astonishing X-Men series represents ...
