HULK Omnibus the STRONGESTof ALL!!!
Due to the wear-and-tear of rereading old comics, I have always been a fan of collections, especially those that include extra art or interviews of the creators reflecting on work deemed classic with the passing years. Collected works have even greater weight when the volumes pertain to hard to find or very expensive comics. The Marvel Masterworks seemed to be the best there was even when ...

It's About Bloody Time, Marvel!
Marvel released volume one in this series YEARS ago, and they have finally given us volume two. The stories in this volume are very rarely reprinted, and are very entertaining. Worth a look, especially if you're a mutant continuity nut like me.

Son of Satan/Son of Adam
Yes, it was common for DC, Marvel, and some of the smaller houses to not do their best work on their "horror" titles. There was often a revolving door of second-rate hack writers and artists working on them. Well, this was definately not the case with these stories. Every story here is well drawn and well plotted. There is a remarkable consistency considering how many people worked on all these ...

Just Getting Warmed Up
Ghost Rider battles Satan, the ultimate adversary, who unfortunately comes across as a stereotypical, almost comically inept supervillian. A necessary look at the character's origins, but it only got better from here.

Captain America teams up with the Falcon in the early 1970s
With the recent "death" of Captain America in the epilogue to the Civil War that has rocked the Marvel Universe I decided to go back and read again the Silver Age adventures of ol' wing head. "Essential Captain America, Volume 3," reprints "Captain America" issues #127-56, which were originally published between 1970 and 1972. Captain America was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby back in ...

Graphic SF Reader
Colan soap opera slugfest. The attraction in picking this up is of course Gene Colan's work, which, while shadowy, is certainly a lot more realistic of figure than that produced today. The storyline for a lot of this is quite long, which your shadowy master villain or villains, sending a stream of low-rent villains DD's way. Lots of fighting for him. Plenty of on panel angst about ...

More what if
This is of course the third volume in the Marvel What if series that collects issues 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, and 20. This edition has good content in it. What if Sgt. Fury had fought World War 2 in outer space?: This is more of an alternate timeline. Where the plot begins during the 15th century. Da Vinci creates designs for an airplane but was never built until the Wright Brothers built one in ...

Our hero cannot make up his mind about being either Daredevil or Matt Murdock
"Essential Daredevil, Volume 3" collects together episodes #49-74 of "Daredevil: The Man Without Fear!" along with "Iron Man" #35-36, which was a crossover story about the Zodiac gang. This represents a transitional period as Roy Thomas replaced Stan Lee as the writer for the book, although by the end of this collection it is Gerry Gonway who has taken over as scripter. Except for three issues ...

Essential Captain Marvel Volume 1 TPB (Essential)

2 reviews
Stan Lee, Roy Thomas, ...

Marvel Comics, 2008

Interesting beginning
Captain Marvel is another character I'm not as familiar with, so this collection was a great start to introduce him. There is great promise shown in the initial issues, especially with the Gene Colan art, but it fades as it goes. There are some confusing plot lines, such as just what Mar-Vell's mission is and why he feels the need to defend humans when he is a Kree military officer. It has a ...

Marvel Enterprises, 2005

Not as good as I remember...
This here's an interesting collection of the original X-men stories, that's not quite as good as I remember from my youth. Almost gave it a 3 star. This volume collects a few issues with Steranko art and Barry (Windsor) Smith's first rough one off for Marvel. Smith's work improve greatly after this in Daredevil and Conan. This volume see the first appearance of Lorna Dane, but this era doesn't ...

Human, All Too Human (I): A Book for Free Spirits, Volume 3 (The Complete Works of Friedrich Nietzsch)

Stanford University Press, 1997

Nietzsche at his Aphoristic Best
If you like aphorisms and philosophy, this book will become one of your bibles. If nothing else, it's just plain fun to read for his incredible wit. Of course you have to put his ideas in the context of the period in which he wrote and understand that he has his own odd prejudices, but the brilliance of his understanding of the human condition really shines through. The biggest mistake any reader ...

Marvel Comics, 2004

Sadly short-lived series.
Having missed the 70s Horror Comics Boom, I was happy to see that Marvel Comics would be releasing Essential collections featuring tales of two of the most famous monsters in every possible medium: Count Dracula and the Frankenstein Monster. The Monster of Frankenstein series deserves far more recognition and praise than it usually gets, despite the fact that it did not last as long as the ...

Marvel Romance TPB

Marvel Comics, 2006

I can't believe how much I liked this
I've read thousands of Marvel super-hero comics over the years and wasn't sure if I had much interest in their other genres, especially those that pre-date the introduction of The X-Men, Daredevil, etc. But I picked up Marvel Romance on a lark and cannot believe how much I loved this book. The stories themselves are incredibly campy and fun. In a weird way, they remind me of reading modern ...
