Graphic Novels : Blackest Night, Green Lantern

Blackest Night was a Marvel beater and the DC Universe as an undead plague, fantastic, but you'll have to excuse my lack of knowledge as I have never read about the Lanterns' before, but a bit like the over the top approach used in Justice Society of America plus great writing, I was sucked me into the Blackest Night. Fortunately for DC profits, I now feel the need to read the whole saga.

Graphic Novels : Battle Pope, Pillow Talk & Wrath of God

More of Robert Kirkman's Battle Pope; Volume 3 deals with the sexual desires of the main man and added the addition of Santa, which includes a fantastic street brawl with Jesus.



Battle Pope, Volume 4, the Wrath of God, the last in series and this volume was quite weak. I think Kirkman was ready to move onto something new.

Graphic Novels : Battle Pope, Genesis, Volume 1

Kirkman, Kirkman. This is wicked, sacrilegious and will probably send all its readers to hell, but its so good! Puerile and funny, crude and clever, plus most importantly now in colour.

Graphic Novels : War Machine, Dark Reign

Jimmy Rhodes continues his crusade again evil. Dark Reign is the continuation and completion of the story started in Iron Heart. A bit like Iron Heart, I really enjoyed this comic, a school boy like pleasure at Norman Osbourne losing this round. I want more!

Graphic Novels : Dark Blue

Just for a second, I thought I was reading Life on Mars, but a gritter, more violent version and that was my first thought when reading Warren Ellis' Dark Blue. To be honest that was thought that continued through out the story, but it is good and doesn't disappoint, unlike the US version of Life on Mars!

Graphic Novels : Hitman, Ten Thousand Bullets, Volume 2

My favourite writer Garth Ennis takes on task of bring Tommy Monaghan to life. Ten Thousand Bullets consists of a couple of stories and fun interlude which covers the back stories and exploits of many of the characters featured. If you know Garth then you will know the humour is wicked and violence well placed.

Graphic Novels : Justice Society of America, The Next Age

It must be me, but I am always reading comics in reverse order. First, I read Thy Kingdom Come and now I have read the beginning The Next Age. Anyway, I really enjoyed this team building romp. Yet again, bright and intelligent, if not a little sweet. The 50s style combined with modern language is fantastic.
