September 22, 2011 6:10 pm We will meet in the middle. There's o cause to be uncivilized about this.

September 22, 2011 7:59 am I prefer dusk. Early mornings make me crabby.

September 22, 2011 12:35 am This. This is what I wanted and expected from the DC reboot. A re-imagining of the characters that, while faithful to the core concept, was modern, fresh and fun. Despite having but one issue Azzarello has already crafted a world with atmosphere, a sense of depth and mystery to discover. With scant phrases they seem fully realized, well-rounded creatures that pique my interest. And the art... oh the art. Could they have recruited a more perfect style for this book? Archetypal, strong lines with a flare for freezing action elegantly on the page. What better typifies the origin of the Greek myth other than bold, strong and rich? I have yet to finish my books this week, but I cannot see a one of them that has a hope of toppling this for pick of the week. It is, unequivocally, the best of the 52 that I have yet read and I will kill any man or woman who disagrees in a pistol duel.

September 16, 2011 11:17 pm This book really surprised me with its overall quality. I attribute it, at least partially, to Cornell's return to Anglophilia (can one be an Anglophile when one is British?). His heart is really in this book. I am uncertain if that is true of Stormwatch, which I found to be of fairly inferior quality. Excellent art didn't hurt the book at all, to be certain, which was another weak spot in Storm Watch.

September 15, 2011 2:29 pm Nice. We appreciate your effort at making our experience better.

September 9, 2011 1:39 pm No Angel? Maybe he is evil for good. Or their teaser department did not spoil the ending of Remender's plot.

September 2, 2011 7:50 pm Sigh. another effing event book. Will not read. Absolutely not.

September 2, 2011 2:43 pm While I did not agree with all Morrison said I generally found the book entertaining. The one thing that drug it down was his very overt live and obsession with get high later in the book. I am not particularly taken with or fascinated by druggie culture and he really hammers that for a good 4 or 5 chapters.

September 2, 2011 2:36 pm There is little to disagree with here. Buy what you love, love what you buy, try new stuff every now and then or be condemned to a rut.
