Crisis on Infinite Earths
Marv Wolfman, George Perez

DC Comics, 2001

I, for one, believe it lives up to its hype

+ Crisis on Infinite Earths: Still a Masterpiece 23 Years Later

Most readers know the point of this DC "event": over the years the DC universe had become increasingly cluttered with multiple earths and alternate universes. Apart from the Flash (the various incarnations of whom could vibrate into one or another) these universes were for the most part cut off ...

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2
Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill

Wildstorm, 2004

The League at it's best!

+ More epic than vol 1 and Better than the movie
+ for the dedicated reader.

I loved volume 1 and volume 2 was even better. I thoroughly enjoyed the Almanac section of the book and the cool board game and other little "quips" that were added by Moore and O'Neill. There is a little more sexual content in this volume, but it doesn't detract from the book at all. If you are ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Iron Man's best story in it's best format

+ The first of Michelinie and Layton's home runs.

The story is classic by now and known not only to Iron Man fans, so the contex of this book won't be reviewed here. What is worth saying is the top quality paper and wonderfull job done at the colours. Additional credits should be given for the hard cover and the jacket illustration. Every issue ...
  
  











  



  
Avengers Assemble, Vol. 1
Kurt Busiek, George Perez

Marvel Comics, 2004

AVENGERS STILL MY FAVORITE TEAM

+ A stellar re-start to a venerable franchise.

The Avengers have always been my favorite Superhero team going back to the early 1970's. They've had consistently good stories without the never ending sub-plots and sub-sub-plots of the various X-men titles.
