MARVELS-ous Masterpiece
How can I be objective: that's us in this four issue series that followed an everyman through WWII and into the beginning of the Marvel Universe circa 1970-something. Ross used many of his friends (and idols) as models in this magnificent tribute to the compendium of ...
Conan Vol. 2: The God in the Bowl and Other Stories

SNAKES!
Great art and a thrilling story. I admit I still hold a candle for the original Roy Thomas story that was my first introduction to the amazing world of Conan, but this version ROCKS, too!

Conan Vol. 3: The Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories

, 2006
Superior to "The Chronicles..." Buy it!
I have the first 3 in this series: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories, The God In The Bowl And Other Stories and The Tower Of The Elephant And Other Stories. I find the artwork to be superior to the "Chronicals of Conan", and there is always at least one ...
Superman: Up, Up, and Away! (One Year Later)

Superman plows himself, another earth's Superman and Superboy Prime
through a red sun and this is the story afterwards (I think that is the correct character placement from Infinite Crisis). If you've ever seen and liked Superman 2, the movie from the 80's, then you'll like this story. They are very similar in concept and the ...

Conan Rules
The Art here is unbelievable, and the storytelling is excellent. I highly recommend this book, and this series. This is Conan, the way it should be told. The creators have made a beautiful and fitting tribute to one of the greatest fantasy characters of all-time. This ...

Look up in the sky! It's a bird ... no, it's a plane ...
I cannot seem to shake these stories. In each of the handful of Kurt Busiek's stories about a superhero infested city, I felt connected to the people surrounded by these modern marvels. I love stories that have a point of view away from the typical angle. One of my ...
Conan Vol. 4: The Hall of the Dead and Other Stories

, 2007
UNFINISHED HOWARD TALE
Robert E. Howard wrote a number of fantastic Conan stories in his lifetime but The Hall of the Dead was not one of them. Not that The Hall of the Dead isn't fantastic, but rather Howard didn't write it, at least not in full. Years after his suicide in 1936, numerous ...

Great!
If you enjoy reading fantasy, enjoying a great tale, or just a good read, then you really should read this Graphic Novel. Yes, a graphic novel is nothing but a collection of 'comic' books into one volume and yes, I know how many people look down on comics. However, ...
ASTRO CITY: THE DARK AGES, BOOK 1

Heroes for the real world
Kurt Busiek's Astro City series are modern classics - sometimes told in similar vein as older stories but with fresh perspectives and depth of characterization seldom seen. His stories are more often told from the viewpoint of the man on the street rather than an ...
Superman: Secret Identity

Can you keep a secret?
What if you live in a tiny town in Kansas? What if your last name is Kent, and your parents, having an annoying sense of humor, have christened you "Clark"? All his life teenager Clark Kent had been hearing it, teased and taunted with Superman jokes. And there's really ...

Conan the Terrific
Many years ago, Conan was comic book with a lesser reputation. Today, the re-introduction of Conan by Dark Horse and writer Kurt Busiek has been a remarkable success, culminating in a new series with Conan the Cimmerian premiering soon. The early beginnings of ...
Conan: Book Of Thoth (Conan (Graphic Novels))

Who the hell put those reviews (obviously from another book) here?
This is supposed to be for reviews of the Book of Thoth, not the regular Conan serie. So, having cleared that, I must say that this is one of the most true to Howard's vision comic book stories ever; from the rich narrative to the magnificent images & the surprising ...
Superman: Back in Action

DC Comics

Superman's awesome off-beat team-ups!
Although I'm not a huge Superman fan this was a fun read. I got this book because Firestorm was on the cover. It starts when Superman gets his powers back after losing them during Infinite Crisis but after a year without him the rest of the world doesn't believe ...

This really is the first story-arc...
This book contains the first story arch of Astro City. In the previous issues, it was literally issue to issue, no to be continued endings, but this has it. The first arch shows the life of a 10 year old girl who is a super hero and struggles to cope with how she is ...
