I'm really struggling to understand what people actually see in these graphic novels (though I should refer to them as comic books because graphic novels tend to have some sense of respectability about them – despite the fact that many people in society look down on people who read comic books as no...
The Adventures of Augusta WindDisclaimer: I received a digital ARC via Netgalley. I find reviewing this graphic novel to be a little difficult because it was impossible to read sections of it. The Adobe Digital program didn’t seem to like some of the color so some of the narration boxes were too li...
I didn't like this nearly as well as I'd been liking the earlier JLI collections. The characters are the same, and the sense of humor is similar... For the most part. What knocked this book down a star from a three for me was the tireless repetition of misogynistic jokes that weren't funny the first...
I seem to be falling behind the curve here. It just didn't do anything for me. I'm not a fan of the overarching storyline, with the Bana-Mighdal, which might be part of the problem. I give Jimenez huge credit for at least writing Diana's personality (and Donna's, for that matter) in a way that makes...
New readers just won't be able to see Maxwell Lord's discovery that he can influence the thoughts and actions of others without getting a chill. I honestly can't tell if it was meant to be read that way, or if I'm bringing too much baggage from later events to the book.
There sure were a lot of crossovers when JLI was being published. Two more in this collection, I believe. That aside, this was a very silly book. Lord Manga Khan and his robots, L-Ron and K-Dikk are almost too silly, and will drive some people right around the bend.
Campy and overrated. It seems unfair to give Loeb credit for all of this. Emperor Joker is a nine issue arc written by many different people. The Loeb parts live up to expectation and he writes some pretty good Joker dialogue as well as funnily and eerily re-imagines a world fashioned by the king of...
If I had to summarize this story arc in a single word, that word would be: lolwhat.Definitely whenever you are doing a serious story like an AU of the 2000 presidential election, you should be sure to include an interlude where Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen (things have been published under that title ...
I loved it when I first read it, I still love it every time I reread it even if it is tinged with a bit of sadness for what my favorite characters have gone through since then.
