I'm really uncertain how I feel about this book. On one hand the art is phenomenal - Dave McKean has created a beautiful book. Every page is full of color, emotion, and a softness which blankets even the grimmest details. Even the layout of the panels is excellent. It truly is stunning. On the other...

I figure it's about time to crawl out of my hole and do a little posting. As I mentioned last time, I am behind in my reviewing responsibilities (heh, "responsibilities"), so here is an update on what I've read recently. There's actually more, but the other things I've been reading are non-fiction h...

I mold breaker two decades ago that is easily overlooked now that there are so many other GNs that have gone farther. Still reliant on some of the stock DC characters that could later be shed completely as GNs matured into real novels of their own.This new edition is just beautiful. Unlike other b...

It took me a while to warm up to the story. The trouble I have with a lot of comic arcs is where to begin- there's SO much backstory and revamps and canon-pasting and such that happens over those decade-long SuperBatGreenSilverSwampSpiderWonderManWomanBoyGirlLanternSurferThing etc stories. I like ...

Do NOT read the introduction before the story, it contains spoilers! Stupid introduction writers, why do they keep doing that?
