B.P.R.D. Volume 2: The Soul of Venice & Other Stories
Mike Mignola, Michael Avon Oeming, ...

Dark Horse, 2004

Abe, Elizabeth, Roger and Johann are Back
Like the previous BPRD book (and the Hellboy books), this is a collection of stories. Abe Sapien, Elizabeth, Roger and Johann must continue to fight the forces of darkness, and their own inner demons, without Hellboy by their side. In The Soul of Venice, the team ...
  
  











  



  
B.P.R.D. Volume 4: The Dead
Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, ...

Dark Horse, 2005

An enjoyable addition to my Hellboy library
I have actually been avoiding these BPRD books for a while now, because initially I had been turned off by the lack of Mignola art. I also remember looking through one of the books and not caring for Guy Davis' style. I recently flipped through a BPRD book at a ...
  
  











  



  
Late Victorian Holocausts: El Niņo Famines and the Making of the Third World
Mike Davis

Verso, 2002

Imperialism: the deadliest stage of capitalism
Marx wrote about capital's destruction of the old social organizations of the societies it enters into, either originally or by force, that "the history of this, their expropriation, is written in the annals of mankind in letters of blood and fire". Mike Davis ...
  
  











  



  
Magical Urbanism: Latinos Reinvent the US Big City
Mike Davis

Verso, 2001

....and mystical gang bangers rejuvenate small town USA
Davis is sympathetic, but like a typical lefty, places his faith in the labor movement to unite the diverse groups of latinos migrating to US cities. Yeah right. Another pipe-dream that the left can smoke. Hey Mike, how do like Hawaii? Come check out the ****holes like ...
  
  











  



  
City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles, New Edition
Mike Davis

Verso, 2006

city of quartz , new edition
City of Quartz, the original version, is an excellent book on the history of Los Angeles until 1989, well readable, informative and incisive, a must-read even if some people take offense at views which are neither mainstream nor conservative. When you finish the book ...
  
  











  



  
Planet of Slums
Mike Davis

Verso, 2007

All SAPed Out
What a tremendous work. I've got two chapters left to go, and thus far it's easily the most informative and scholarly book I've yet to read in 2008. Planet of Slums is all about how the Third World's major cities are growing at what seems like an almost ...
  
  











  



  
B.P.R.D. Volume 3: Plague of Frogs
Mike Mignola, Guy Davis, ...

Dark Horse, 2005

The Origin of Abraham Sapien
This is the third outing for the BPRD without Hellboy. This is the first collection with one long story arc rather than a grouping of short stories. As creator Mike Mignola describes in the afterword, he and his editor at Dark Horse Comics were considering doing a ...
  
  











  



  
How to Get SSI & Social Security Disability: An Insider's Step by Step Guide
Mike Davis

Writers Club Press, 2000

Successful Appeal
How to Get SSI & Social Security Disability: An Insider's Step by Step Guide by Mike Davis, was invaluable in my request for reconsideration for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI). After the denial of my initial application, I wrote a successful request for ...
  
  











  



  
B.P.R.D. Volume 8: Killing Ground
John Arcudi, Mike Mignola, ...

Dark Horse, 2008

BPRD 8: Killing Ground
Some exciting stuff going down at the BPRD. Great story and amazing art as always.

The National Gardening Association, Bob Beckstrom, ...

For Dummies, 2003

love it

B.P.R.D. Volume 6: The Universal Machine
Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, ...

Dark Horse, 2007

OUTSTANDING. Best chapter yet
This has been a good series up til now. Now it is a great one and the turning point is this book. Arcudi's contributions to the writing are special. The characters are now truly characters with concerns, lives, etc. The action is still top otch ad Guy Davis' art ...
  
  











  



  
X-Men vs. Apocalypse Vol. 1: The Twelve
Alan Davis, Terry Kavanagh, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

A really good Apocalypse's story
This story has a lot of fights and drama, this tale is why I began to read X-men, the plot is similar to the cartoon serie's episode "one man's worth", but more interesting, the art is really good, and the pages has a lot of color for an old reprint, I think it is a ...
  
  











  



  
B.P.R.D. Volume 7: Garden of Souls (B.P.R.D. (Graphic Novels))
John Arcudi, Guy Davis, ...

Dark Horse, 2008

The orgin of Abe Sapien is told
This is another really good (honestly probably not great) installment of the BRPD series by regulars Mignola, Arcudi and amazing artist Guy Davis. This one tells the back story to Abe's origin and offers a slightly silly new tale that ties into it. I say "silly" ...
  
  











  



  
B.P.R.D. Volume 5: The Black Flame
Mike Mignola, John Arcudi, ...

Dark Horse, 2006

Great story, amazing artwork
This is easily one of the best if not the best BRPD book out to date. Lets get over the whole deal with Mignola and Hellboy and stop acting like this book isnt good enough on its own. To be honest the stories here are better than any of the Hellboy tales and Guy Davis ...
  
  











  



  
City of Quartz: Excavating the Future in Los Angeles
Mike Davis

Vintage, 1992

Not a book to be quickly written off
I'd just like to offer a voice of temperance after reading a number of the reviews here. The boogeyman mentions of Davis' "Marxist" leanings are worthy of the McCarthy hearings. The mock citations of the type "All the other books I read in the field are much better" ...
