In the movies, Thor is one of my favorite people. So when I saw this volume on Prime Reading. I HAD TO HAVE IT. I loved this way more than I expected. Seriously, it was so good. I loved the stories, every one of them, I just love the characters. I wanted some Sif. I LOVE SIF. But even though she w...

This is a great reboot of Superman's origin. The artwork was outstanding and I loved the storyline, especially the new take on the destruction of Krypton. I'm looking forward to reading volumes 2 and 3.

Strange: Dormammu is weak. Everyone else: We strike now! Strange: Get the mindless ones. I have to do this shit myself! Everyone else: Okay! Spider-Man: Strange doesn't fight alone in my city. One spell gone wrong later. Strange: I told you not to come! You messed up the spell! ...

Fills in the Aliens square on the DC Comic Book Bingo card This graphic novel is a one-off special from my favorite creators, J. Michael Stracynski (he also did that awesome Wonder Woman Odyssey series). It started off kind of slow and emo; it was a little too much Batman-dark for the character of...

This final part of the Centauri trilogy is perhaps the weakest one - it's a fast read, suspenseful and, of course, leading to the prophesized conclusion... but maybe that's its problem right there: it's too straight-forward, too predictable. While Durla, the prime-minister, gains ever more power, ...

This book covers the years 2268 to 2273 and focuses more on Vir and his "growing-up" as it's called. Vir allies himself with Technomages (among them Galen from "Crusade") who, already in the first part, helped him prevent an assassination attempt on Sheridan. Together they manage to destroy a Shad...

It took only the n-th rerun of Babylon 5 for me to finally pick up this first part of the Centauri-Prime-trilogy... ... and I'm glad I finally did. "The Long Night..." picks up from Londo's coronation to Emperor up till 2267. It shows how Londo's keeper and the Drakh influence him and Centauri pol...

Author J. Michael Straczynski on why he wanted to overhaul Wonder Woman: This is a character that is interesting enough and compelling enough to merit being in the top twenty books at minimum...so why was she languishing? The reason, I felt, was that she'd concretized over the years, had turned in...

Well, I had never had the opportunity before now to read all of the Civil War storyline, so all of the issues in this were new to me. It collects: New Avengers: Illuminati; Amazing Spider-Man (vol. 1) #529-531, and Fantastic Four #536-537. The stories are interesting but even though I kind of know...

I'm not really well read on Doctor Strange stories but so far this one is my favorite. It's a modernised retelling of his origin story. Well written and with beautiful art.
