I caught sections of this story of mutants versus mutants when I was younger and this was a great opportunity to catch up with what was going on. Interesting and great fun, the graphics are quite basic compared to now but also appealed to a certain nostalgia I still hold for these stories.
Huge fun. Most of the book is taken up with the final battle against Surtur, and it's fantastic. Gigantic battle scenes, huge casts of recognizable characters, the works. This part of the book was great. The Lorelei subplot finally gets resolved, thank goodness, because it was really becoming a drag...
I read this as part of an attempt to learn more about Thor, since I've liked him so much in the Marvel movies. I'd read something like a few pages with Thor beforehand, and I don't know terribly much about Norse mythology, so I don't really have any preconceived notions. So I'm happy to report that ...
It's an anthology, so of course it's a mixed bag, both from an art and story perspective. There are some really outstanding stories here. Paul Dini's "Case Study", the first story in the collection, is a nice and perceptive look at Joker's psychology, painting him as someone completely sane, possibl...
Nothing about this book is "essential" by any meaning of the word. In fact, the first nine issues were declared to be "imaginary stories" a few years later, since they played so fast and loose with Marvel Comics continuity. About the only things of any note that came out of this book were establishi...
A very grand tale, and ambitious as well. Simonson cannot be credited enough for an amazing piece of work in terms of scale, story-telling, and originality. I really love the concept, and the art on every page is wonderful with plenty of different kinds of lettering. But it just falls short somewher...
Winter of 1983. I was a full-grown and mature thirteen (13) year old. That is what I believed anyway. By this point, I had put all the things of childhood behind me - even my beloved D&D mostly - to focus on grown up things: sports, music, girls, and cars. Not necessarily in that order. This me...
It's a good collection, but while the size makes for a fun reading experience early on, eventually it becomes laborious to heft around, making the over-sized format a little impractical. Unless you have a really big coffee table on which to stow it.Also, Aquaman and the entire undersea nation has ca...
Like with all anthologies, the rating is really splitting the difference. Some of the stories here were fantastic, others... not so much.The best stories were The Demon and the Catwoman (Teaming up Catwoman and Etrigan was... unexpected. It ended up being fun, even if Catwoman was largely absent in ...
