Angel: After the Fall: First Night Volume 2

Joss Whedon, Brian Lynch, ...

IDW Publishing, 2008

Finally- The Official Continuation of Angel.
The series finale of Angel was the most brilliant episode of television I've ever seen. It was just a poignant, sad, and epic send-off to the characters I'd been following for so many years. It ended in the middle of a fight, because the point was that Angel would ...

Superman: Escape from Bizarro World

Geoff Johns, Richard Donner, ...

DC Comics, 2008

New Found Appreciation for Bizarro
I've always loved Superman, but like every fan, I have my personal favorites among the Superman universe cast of friends and villains. Bizarro has never been one of my favorite Superman villains. What can I say? I'm a big Lex Luthor fan. (In case you should ...

Hellboy, Vol. 1: Seed of Destruction

Mike Mignola, John Byrne

Dark Horse, 2003

fantastic
I just got back into comics recently and I can't tell you how wonderful it was to get this book. As I've noted elsewhere, Mignola's plotting and art is just phenomenal. One of the reasons I love Hellboy is because I love the old Hammer horror movies from the 60s and ...

Showcase Presents: Booster Gold, Vol. 1

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus

Chris Claremont, Len Wein, ...

Marvel Comics, 2006

excellent collection
This collection of the first 5 years of Claremont's run on Uncanny X-men is a great value. Great quality of the reprinting. My only complaint is minor, that the omnibus overlaps with the first 3 issues in the Dark Phoenix Sage tpb. Also this book will be getting a ...

Chris Claremont, Peter David, ...

Marvel Comics, 2005

What an Essential volume should be
Having read a couple dozen of Marvel's "Essential" series, I've seen the gamut from excellent to awful. Generally, what makes the comics good are exactly the things you'd expect: good, consistent writing and art, strong characters and a decent supporting cast. (This ...
