Essential Ghost Rider, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Gary Friedrich, John Byrne, ...

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.

Essential Tomb of Dracula, Vol. 4 (Marvel Essentials)

Marv Wolfman, Steve Gerber, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Surprisingly good.
This volume could be suspected of being solely for completists, since it reprints little-known short stories from Marvel's many horror mags. In fact, before reading it, I feared it might feel like a lot of inventory material. I was quite happy to be proven wrong. ...

Essential Fantastic Four, Vol. 6 (Marvel Essentials)

Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Stan Lee ends his run on "The Fantastic Four" with help from John Buscema
You might be surprised at how many times you can take one away from four and get three, but that is a common thread in the comic book issues collected in "Essential Fantastic Four, Volume 6" (which would be issues #111-37 of "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine"). Sue ...

Essential Punisher, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Gerry Conway

Marvel Comics, 2006

Not entirely essential at all
The Punisher is one of a handful of Marvel characters who has had quite a sordid history. The 25 comics collected in this Essential collection shows that, beginning with his first appearance in Amazing Spider-Man #129 (written by Gerry Conway), and the vigilante is ...

Essential Defenders, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

Len Wein, Chris Claremont, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Defending good taste in comic books
Essential Defenders Volume II: from the very start (the confrontation with Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants in issues 15 and 16, by far the best ones there) to the ending (Tapping Tommy and the Maggia goons in issue 30) it's a hit!!! Fine storytelling and ...

Essential Avengers, Vol. 6 (Marvel Essentials)

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?!

Essential Peter Parker: The Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Gerry Conway, Archie Goodwin, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

It's great to see reprints of these issues.
I enjoyed these Spider-Man tales when they were new, and I'm happy to see them available again. Peter Parker, the Spectacular Spider-Man (PPtSSM) was fresh and new, and it invigorated Spider Man's character, bringing a younger group of readers to Spider Man's other ...

Batman: Scarecrow Tales

DC Comics, 2005

Have Fear, The Scarecrow Is Spotlighted Here
In this collection, we get to know the master of fear a little better, The Scarecrow. Just like The Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told was released in 1988 in anticipation of the '89 Batman movie featuring The Joker, Scarecrow Tales was released close to Batman Begins, ...

Essential Daredevil, Vol. 3 (Marvel Essentials)

Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

Our hero cannot make up his mind about being either Daredevil or Matt Murdock
"Essential Daredevil, Volume 3" collects together episodes #49-74 of "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!" along with "Iron Man" #35-36, which was a crossover story about the Zodiac gang. This represents a transitional period as Roy Thomas replaced Stan Lee as the writer ...

Essential Classic X-Men Volume 3 TPB (X-Men (Graphic Novels))
Roy Thomas, Arnold Drake, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

1969: The X-Men, Marvel's poorest selling title, flagging in sales and on the verge of cancellation, was in dire need of a shot in the arm. A new direction. A new vision. Enter Roy Thomas and Neal Adams, and True Believer, you had better grab onto your hat and get ready for one of the most amazing evolutions in Marvel history! These two titanic ...

Essential Luke Cage/Power Man Vol. 1 (Marvel Essentials)

Roy Thomas, John Romita, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

I'm talkin' 'bout Cage! LUKE Cage!
Let me get one thing out of the way first. I am a twenty year-old white guy living in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains. I am among the least likely Americans who could actually get the point (ironic or otherwise) about the Blaxploitation era of the '70's. I ...
