300

Monday, October 23rd, 2006

‘300′ is the greatest story Frank Miller has ever been involved with. In fact I’ll go one step forward and say that ‘300′ is the best work Frank Miller has ever produced and will likely ever produce (I’m a natural born optimist and I’d relish reading something that tops ‘300′, however I’m also a realist [...]

Kabuki Daily

Monday, August 21st, 2006

I’ve spoken about the purely sublime series Kabuki when I reviewed Circle of Blood. Now you can start reading this series on a daily basis for free. That’s a pretty good deal if you ask me for one of the best stories ever written (by a 21 year old David Mack, no less). You’ve seriously [...]

Ministry of Space

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

So I’m in the store yesterday and I’m picking up Brian Azzarello and Jim Lee’s Superman trade and Josh Middleton’s Shazam book (neither characters really do it for me but all creators attached are superb in every meaning of the word) but I wasn’t saticified with just these two books. So I started looking around [...]

The Flying Friar

Thursday, February 9th, 2006

I was meant to write about this last week, but I was extremely busy with life in general that I didn’t get a chance to hit all the reviews I wanted to get done. I’m pretty behind on my schedule but that’s life. Anyway I emailed Rich a while back and asked him if he [...]

Kabuki | Circle of Blood | Volume 1

Friday, January 6th, 2006

Before I start this review I’ve got to get it out of the way that I am a HUGE David Mack fan. His work is a massive inspiration to me and he is definitely one of the nicest guys in comics working now, so to say that this review is slightly biased is an understatement. [...]

Vagabond | Volume 1

Wednesday, December 14th, 2005

This is not hyperbole, this isn’t an overstatement, this is fact. The sooner you come to understand it about this book the better the world shall be, honest trust me on this one, I know what I’m talking about. The fact being that Vagabond is one of the most haunting, best crafted, lushously illustrated [...]

Marvel’s 1602

Thursday, December 1st, 2005

As with all oversided Marvel hardcovers, the 1602 hardcover is nothing short of a great solid chunk of book. It comes with a black faux leather cover with gold writing on it, simply entitled MARVEL 1602. The book collects the 8 issue mini-series written by Neil Gaiman as a method to raise funds for his [...]
