Wishful Thinking is an anthology about wishes and the horror of those wishes when they come to reality. I wanted to be properly prepared for my interview so I took an opportunity to skip ahead to a short in this anthology entitled The Gift. The Gift beautifully captures the community of a dysfunct...
I feel like this was probably more like a 3 1/2 star read. I liked it but I felt like it lacked a little in originality and there were some missed opportunities to do something great. It pretty solid though and you don't need to have any prior knowledge of the Marvel Universe to enjoy it. The pre...
Finally a comic that feels coherent and thought through, without big gaps in logic or action page fillers.A different approach to "people with special abilities", with very nice ideas and interesting characters. Gonna buy the entire compendium now, can't wait to see what's happening next.
I was a tiny bit confused as this is the first Thor I've ever picked up and I only know about him tangentially.However, the art is great and the variant covers in the back are a treat (Michael Turner has a variant!).The writing, while good, was jumpy and there weren't a lot of segues between the edi...
I continue my series of reviews on the compilations of the comics series Before Watchmen. This is the third post in my series at The Itinerant Librarian. Excerpt of the review: "I was interested in this volume in part because J. Michael Straczynski was involved; I happen to like his work from Baby...
Now that I've read two volumes of the Before Watchmen series, I've been able to get a pretty good glimpse of what they were trying to do. When I read Before Watchmen: Ozymandias/Crimson Corsair first, I thought that it seemed kind of fruitless to rehash the beginnings of a character that didn't get ...
Over twenty years ago a comet struck outside the town of Pederson, Illinois. The children who were in utero when the comet struck, all 113 of them, gained super-powers when they were born. When one dies the others gain in power, some of the superheroes are trying to live normal lives, but someone ...
Well, I did miss what happened before but things would seem to have gone badly for the Norse Pantheon and now it's only Thor left. He decides to build a new Valhalla and to cause the gods to awake in the human bodies they now live in. It's interesting, I'm not sure that it truly works without more...
This is the story of Trifle, one of the faerie inhabiting the walls of a castle, wherein lives a father, mother and daughter, and the father and mother must be king and queen because he refers to his daughter as Princess... according to the logic of Trifle. Invasion happens and the parents are kill...
Got this as an ARC copy from netgallery. Should also state never finished The graphic Novel The Watchmen as I got bored and hated the artwork. That being said, I did read enough to understand each character a little. Art is much better in this book than the original. Enjoying the story much better ...
