So I picked up a bunch of Batman freebies. I'm not a huge Bats fan. I really only read him when Catwoman shows up because she's awesome. So - DCeased is basically the DC universe vs. zombies. It's an interesting idea but I didn't find it particularly "must know what happened next". The Bat...
The execution, the details, were interesting. I do think that Sean Murphy bent a little things: if Jack Napier were a truly good man, as he's presented here, and had to account for everything that the Joker did, then I think he'd be slightly more shellshocked. Now, I could buy the argument that ...
Easily the best Batman Story I've ever read. Batman is darkly twisted in this alternate universe. The Joker is not so twisted and everything is.... amazing. This book felt much more grown up, more detailed and dover into darker places than the past Batman books i've read. The illustrations WOW, just...
This is a perfect standalone Batman story. We're taken to a Gotham where Batman apprehends the Joker once again, but goes to far and assaults him after he's been restrained. These being modern times, Batman is filmed beating the shit out of Joker and force-feeding him pills. Understandably, this s...
The Borg try to assimilate by using a tachyon wave that rips through the past: they will assimilate all those who tried to stop them before they even knew to try and stop the Borg. They especially want to assimilate the little girl who will one day become their queen and come up with this plan. ...
I'm really glad I pushed through the first couple of pages, which didn't engage me at all. Reminder presents a depressing world that's all about what technology can do to us when left unchecked. Nothing else seems to matter, not laws, not humanity, nothing but information and entertainment. ...
This graphic novel is a perfect example of why I wait for compendiums and collections to come out before trying something new. Scott Snyder's The Wake was brilliant for the entire first half. The depths of the ocean have always held a special kind of intrigue. So few of us actually ever get to see w...
I love Snyder's standalone works away from the usual comic stars, and this is no different. A superb tale, spanning several timelines, telling a universal tale. Beautiful artwork and colour as well. Full review to follow.
I had no problem with the religion-bashing, as I myself am prone to do that, but the whole thing was so bitter. A lot of lows with few, if any, highs. Sean Murphy is quite a talent, though. Gotta give him that.
Great artwork and concept, but the actual writing of the story was a bit disjointed - started off great in the early issues, became a little harder to follow in the latter ones. I liked Joe's character well enough, but wish I could've gotten to know the other characters a little better. The story ...
