Kevin Nowlan

Chuck Dixon, Jon Bogdanove, ...

Dark Horse, 2003

Decent, but doesn't live up to the first crossover
Most crossover sequels never do live up to their predecessors, but as far as most DC/Dark Horse Crossovers have been as of late (completely abysmal), Superman/Aliens 2 is rather good. Superman visits old friends on New Genesis, but a shadow of a threat looms in the ...

Tomorrow Stories (Book 2)

Alan Moore, Kevin Nowlan, ...

Wildstorm, 2004

Tomorrow Stories looks back to go to forward.
Fans of EC comics should warm to this collection right away. It serializes five different characters with the same writer/artist team on each. ALL of the writing is by Alan Moore, who seems to be having so much fun creating new universes and characters in his ...

9-11: Artists Respond, Volume 1

Will Eisner, P. Craig Russell, ...

Dark Horse, 2002

Heartfelt Tales of September 11th and it's Aftermath
There's really not much I can say about this book. The stories contained in it are poignant and touching and heartbreaking and hopeful all at once, and each and every contributor has given not only their time and talent to the project, but clearly they've also given a ...

Star Wars Dark Force Rising # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. (The Complete Six Part Limited Series!)
Mike Baron, Timothy Zahn

Dark Horse Comics, 1997

Star Wars: Dark Force Rising. The complete six part limited series. Includes books one, two, three, four, five and six. Dark Horse Comics 1997. Based on the best selling novel by Timothy Zahn.

Essential Moon Knight, Vol. 2 (Marvel Essentials)

Doug Moench, Jack S. Harris, ...

Marvel Comics, 2007

Moon Knight is the Best
Its been a little more than a year since volume 1 came out, and I've found that volume 2 is as good or even better than the first one. The art continues to improve, and being in black and white just adds to the mysterious feel of Moon Knight. This volume contains ...

Witchblade Volume 5: First Born (Witchblade)

Ron Marz, Stjepan Sejic, ...

Top Cow Productions/Image Comics, 2008

Way to go Top Cow!
This book contains a healthy dose of Stjepan Sejic's excellent art work as well as Ron Marz's consistently good writing. It also features a stitched binding, which is normally only seen in better quality hard cover books. This is the way trades should be done as it ...

Superman/Aliens

Dan Jurgens, Kevin Nowlan

Dark Horse, 1996

What A Tease!
I usually avoid crossover books between companies. And I've never had much interest in "Aliens" or "Predators"... or movie tie-in comic creations for that matter. "Superman/Aliens", however, is a whole different thing altogether. Firstly, it is a "real" Superman story ...

Batman: Sword of Azrael (Batman)

Denny O'Neil, Joe Quesada, ...

Titan Books Ltd, 1993

Batman Saved
Believe the 5 star reviews, this is an incredible book. The artwork is some of the best. So many comics have expressionistic style drawings, this one is drawn the way, as Joe Queseda says in his introduction, that makes a comic a collectible. The story is very good; ...

The Compleat Moonshadow

John Marc DeMatteis, Kent Williams, ...

DC Comics, 1998

Compleat Indeed!
My first experience with Moonshadow was some years ago, when a comic-adhesive friend of mine (to say he collected them would be an understatement - he seemed rather to magnetically draw them to his person) found the solitary first issue of Moonshadow in a bulk buy of ...

Hellboy Junior

Mike Mignola, Bill Wray, ...

Dark Horse, 2004

Great compilation of tasteless comics!
I think some of this stuff will appeal more to people who are into R. Crumb than Mike Mignola. It's hard to find stuff that's this sophomoric and filthy but drawn this well. I thought it was funny as crap, especially the Sparky Bear thing. If you read Mad Magazine ...

Star Wars: Dark Force Rising (Star Wars)

Timothy Zahn, Mike Baron, ..., 2008

Rising Action
While I must admit that I was not a great fan of the first book in the Thrawn Trilogy "Heir to the Empire", the second book really got my attention. I will venture to say that most people reading the Star Wars books are reading to see the characters they loved from ...
