This Series is a mixture of The West Wing and Batman, with a hint of Heroes thrown in. I'm absolutely enthralled.

Card could learn a thing or two about alternative perspectives.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Joss Whedon

Just when I began losing interest in Runaway, Whedon does it right.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Geoff Johns

The Blackest Night is really doing it for me thus far.

When JLA stories are kept down to a manageable cast, they are much more enjoyable.

Watching Batman getting the shite kicked out of him is rather refreshing.

Finally. A fun and violent Wolverine story.
NovelScifi
John Scalzi
May 2008
Scalzi's sense of humor mixed with his gift for storytelling makes for one hell of a sequel.
ComicSuperhero
Mark Millar
May 2008
Absolutely fantastic. You can't get much more in your face than this.

A unique premise in literary science fiction? That's crazy talk.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Robert Kirkman

Still one of my favorite series.
NovelScifi
Orson Scott Card
Feb 2008
A long overdue read for me, but well worth the wait. Starting and ending the series with this book would not be a horrible call.

A very, very strong start to a series.

Neil Gaiman
Jan 2008
By all rights, a retelling of the origins of Marvel's heroes set in the year 1602 shouldn't have been that entertaining.

Intrigued. Want more.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Alan Moore
Jul 2009
Great series as long as you don't stop to remember how odd Alan Moore is as a human being.

Not as strong as the original, but still a great adventure for Locke & Jean.
NovelFantasy

I became interested in the character because of the Outsiders, and couldn't resist picking up this back story. I rather enjoyed it.

Great build up, felt shortchanged by the payoff. Somewhat anticlimactic.

By all accounts, it shouldn't have been half as enjoyable as it was. But I love that old guy.

A little slow on the development, but still enjoyable.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Daniel Way
Feb 2009
Not a huge Daniel Way fan, but I enjoyed this more than I thought I would.
NovelFantasy
Orson Scott Card

Better than Speaker for the Dead, but more of the same in the Ender & Friends saga.
GraphicnovelSuperhero

DC could really learn a thing or two from Marvel about large scale events.

A fun return to the Matador universe I had discovered as a kid, but standard Perry otherwise.

Not a bad start to a new series at all.
GraphicnovelScifi

Not the best in the series by far, but obviously the calm before the storm.

I think I liked it, but then again, it could just be the title that calls to me.

X-men as Hippies. It's what we've also dreamed of seeing.

Without the threat of the pride, so goes the urgency that kept volume 1 moving.

R.A. Salvatore
