Review of La Primavera

La Primavera is a wonderful graphic novel by a the talented artist and writer, Alexis Fredrick-Frost. It recounts several men taking on a epic bicycling challenge, and shows one mans determination to win it. I would recommend this beautifully crafted graphic work to fans of Frost's other book ( Where he collaborated with 2 friends James Sturm and Andrew Arnold.) Adventures in cartooning. Tomorrow: A review of Iron Man the movie.

Review of Ronin

Ronin is a amazing and strange story. Written and illustrated by Frank Miller, Ronin tells a unique story with many unique characters. The story takes place in a computerized New York City. Although this is not one of the best stories by Frank Miller I've ever read, it is still a entertaining story. I Would recommend Ronin to fans of Frank Miller. Tomorrow: A review of La Primavera.

Review of Watchmen

I am so sorry dear readers, that I could not keep up my promise to post a new review on Wednesday. I could not write a new post because I was with my grandparents picking up my uncle who had been in Australia for the last 11 months and 4 days. But enough about me, on to the review. Watchmen is a story that breaks the very limits of what a superhero story could be. Written by one of comics greatest writers Alan Moore, and illustrated by the talented Dave Gibbons. Watchmen takes a look at what it would really be like to be a superhero. With characters that range from the godlike Dr.Manhattan, to the vigilante Rorschach. Watchmen is packed full of colorful characters. I would recommend Watchmen to fans of Alan Moore and to fans of Dave Gibbons. Tomorrow: A review of Ronin

Review of Kingdom Come

Kingdom Come is one of the most entertaining stories of the 20th century. With amazing writing by Mark Waid, and with illustrations so fantastic I can't even begin to describe them by Alex Ross. Kingdom Come takes place several years in the future, with the children and grandchildren of the heroes of yesteryear running amok. Disaster after disaster being caused by them, Superman, who has been retired for ten years steps back into the ring in a attempt to bring down rogue metahuman activity with the help of a new Justice League. Old friends turned enemies and old enemies turned friend, the book is packed with characters. But to digress, I will unfortunately be going camping until Wednesday. But don't worry dear reader, on Wednesday I'll be back hunched over my computer typing away. Good bye! For now........

Review of JLA earth 2

Before I begin my review let me just tell you how excited I am to review JLA ( Justice League of America) earth 2. This is one of my favorite JLA stories of all time. It is written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Frank Quitely. JLA earth 2 is basically this. Imagine a world where the pilgrims went to the UK instead of North America, where Benedict Arnold is on the one dollar bill, where there is a statue of Adolf Hitler in Britain to honor his memory, and where instead of a Justice League of America, there is a Crime Syndicate of Amerika. Basically Alexander Luthor, one of the only heroes on his dark world comes to our world seeking the help of the JLA ( Justice League of America) to take down the CSA (Crime Syndicate of Amerika.) The book is packed with thrills and is simply, amazing. I would recommend this book to fans of the JLA, Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, and to fans of stories simply involving the anti-matter universe. Tomorrow: A review of Kingdom Come

Review Daredevil Yellow

If there is such a thing as a story that can keep you thrilled and holding on to your seat one minute, and then put a lump in your throat the next, it would have to be Daredevil Yellow. Brilliantly written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Tim Sale, Daredevil Yellow retells the origin of Daredevil a.k.a. Matt Murdock. Not only that but DY also retells the romance of Matt Murdock and Karen Page. I would recommend this book to fans of the Daredevil comic book, and to fans of the Daredevil movie. Tomorrow: A review of JLA earth 2

Ultimate Spider-Man volume 1 is a spectacular graphic novel. It collects the first 7 issues of the comic book series " Ultimate Spider-Man." Ultimate Spider-Man volume 1 is scripted by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by Mark Bagley. This book retells Spider-Man's origin in a new way. The book even retells the origin of one Spider-Man's greatest foes: The Green Goblin. I would recommend this book to fans of Spider-Man and of Brian Michael Bendis. I would recommend this book to fans of Spider-Man. Tomorrow: A review of The Rocketeer The complete adventures

Review of Batman Under the red hood the animated movie

Batman Under the red hood is, in my opinion, a wonderful animated movie. It shows Batman at his darkest hour and pits the Dark Knight against one of his greatest foes: The Red Hood. The movie features voices from actors such as Bruce Greenwood (Batman),  Neil Patrick Harris (Nightwing), Jensen Ackles (The Red Hood). I'd like to point out that the movie is based off the comic book series Batman Under the Hood. I would recommend this movie to fans of Batman and Robin. Tomorrow: A review of Ultimate Spider-man volume 1.

Batman: Hush review

Today's post consists of a review for the acclaimed Batman: Hush saga. Batman: Hush is a thrilling story featuring superb writing by Jeph Loeb. A writer who has authored such works as Daredevil:Yellow, Spider-man: Blue, Hulk: Grey, Batman: The Long Halloween and many more. And the artist who illustrated Batman: Hush is none other than Jim Lee. Jim Lee has worked on projects such as Punisher: War Journal, Alpha Flight, and X-Men. But getting back to Batman: Hush, the book features many of Batman's greatest allies as well as his greatest enemies. Jim Lee's artwork gives Batman a heroic yet dark look. And Jeph Loeb's writing can only be described as astounding.This book is a must read to all readers of Batman and of Jeph Loeb. Including fans of Jim Lee. Well, that concludes today's post. As Arnold Swarzenegger once said, " I"ll be back!" Tomorrow: A review of the animated movie Batman Under the Red Hood
