We tend to think of sarcasm as a modern affliction, but Charles Mackay's writing is as sarcastic as anything I have ever read. Extraordinary Popular Delusions is a 700 page study of what Mackay calls the Madness of Europe, up until 1841. The book is divided into long and short sections, depending on...
Worth it mostly because I'm a DD completist, particularly with his series, and contemporary stuff. Glad I'm enjoying the newer stuff more though.
Still only working as a filler. It explains a bit, like Blindspot being gone, but again, not well done. I'm certainly glad Zdarsky is writing the new series, and they got a new artist!
In retrospect, this is an important bridge between the two DD series. (One just ended, one just started; this mini-series was published between those two things happening.) But it feels very much like filler. It's good for bridging, but not all that much more in my opinion. I see what Marvel w...
It was told in a roundabout way that I didn't quite get at first. The confusion soon lifted: this issue was devoted to what loving Murdock can do, and Matt's guilt about his ex-girlfriends who tend to be either dead now or mad. It was actually more enjoyable than the first issue on that level...
I wasn't sure exactly what the storyline would be, but I'm pleased with it: after being run over by a truck, Matt Murdock's body is feeling all his old, badly healed injuries coming back to haunt him. It was only a matter of time before being Daredevil and not having proper medical treatment all of...
I've had a lot going on for the past week and a half, so it ended up taking me much longer to get through this book than I had expected it to. Every time I'd finally get to sit down to read, something else would happen, and I wouldn't be able to get back to it for the next day and a half.Interruptio...
before i talk about any individual stories, i have to say this anthology suffers under the same terrible naming convention that many of the hitchcock anthologies i have do: the title is just stupid. seven of the twelve stories are about witches (though i guess you could argue some background charact...
To be honest, I did not finish this book. The beginning was extremely interesting and well written. But as the story of the financial bubbles goes, it sounds more like the author is dragging his feet into the littles stories, instead of talking about the big one, the one I was initially interested i...
