Fun concept with uninteresting results.

A few gems, but for the most part, rather bland.
ComicFantasy

By all accounts, it shouldn't have been half as enjoyable as it was. But I love that old guy.

A resounding 'meh'.
NovelScifi
Orson Scott Card
Feb 2008
A long overdue read for me, but well worth the wait. Starting and ending the series with this book would not be a horrible call.
NovelFantasy

Better than Speaker for the Dead, but more of the same in the Ender & Friends saga.
ComicSuperhero
Neil Gaiman
May 2008
Great build up, felt shortchanged by the payoff. Somewhat anticlimactic.

Jul 2008
This Series is a mixture of The West Wing and Batman, with a hint of Heroes thrown in. I'm absolutely enthralled.

Jul 2008
I genuinely never thought I'd care about a Robin Hood wanna be, but damn was that enjoyable. Anxious for more.
NovelScifi
Geroge RR Martin
Mar 2008
Hard to root or care for a ridiculously unlikeable character.

What Spiderman should have been.
ComicSuperhero
Neil Gaiman
Jan 2008
By all rights, a retelling of the origins of Marvel's heroes set in the year 1602 shouldn't have been that entertaining.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Robert Kirkman
Jun 2008
Not as much fun as the original, but still enjoyable.

You'll never look at the subway the same way ever again.
NovelScifi
John Scalzi
Jan 2008
A unique premise in literary science fiction? That's crazy talk.
NovelFantasy
Scott Lynch
May 2008
Not as strong as the original, but still a great adventure for Locke & Jean.
NovelScifi
Arthur C Clarke
Mar 2005
A wonderful introduction, but not as satisfying as the series that follows.
ComicSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
May 2008
Good enough to keep me interested for volume 2. Not Vaughan's best work.
ComicSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
May 2008
Without the threat of the pride, so goes the urgency that kept volume 1 moving.

Vaughan is losing me, but I'll still check it out when Whedon takes over.

Losing complete interest in this universe.

A great many words can't make up for the lack of a good story.
ComicSuperhero
J. Michael Straczynski
Apr 2008
JJ confronts Peter Parker, whom he now knows is Spider-man. Should've been so much more.
NovelSuperhero
Dan Slott
Jul 2008
Enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough to make you forget the recent raping of Spiderman.
ComicSuperhero
J. Michael Straczynski
May 2008
Would have been enjoyable if it wasn't such a slap in the face to long time fans.

Disappointing.

Bland for Kirkman.
ComicSuperhero
Garth Ennis
Jul 2008
A very, very strong start to a series.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Frank Miller
May 2008
A good story, but Miller's convoluted telling detracts from it.
NovelScifi
John Scalzi
May 2008
Scalzi's sense of humor mixed with his gift for storytelling makes for one hell of a sequel.

The return of main series protagonist Jon Perry pleased me greatly.
NovelFantasy
Scott Lynch
Apr 2008
One of the best debut's I've read. Think Lord of the Rings meets Ocean's Eleven.
NovelScifi
Steve Perry
May 2008
A fun return to the Matador universe I had discovered as a kid, but standard Perry otherwise.
ComicSuperhero
Darwyn Cooke
Apr 2008
Didn't live up to the hype, found the story too fragmented.
ComicSuperhero

The Green Lantern sequences were enjoyable, the rest fell flat.

Unique premise, and incredibly dirty, but ultimately goes nowhere.

Sweet Zombie Jesus, yes.

Blasted through this one in an evening. Ridiculously captivating.
GraphicnovelFantasy

While Kirkman has a hit or miss record with me, this series is definitely a strong, strong hit.

I don't think I've ever been this uninterested in finishing a comic book.
ComicSuperhero
Mark Millar
May 2008
Absolutely fantastic. You can't get much more in your face than this.

Alan Moore

20 years later and still one of those relevant graphic novels ever produced.
NovelFantasy
Geroge RR Martin

Fantastic concept, but the novel fails to do anything really interesting with it.

Really disappointing, especially following the enjoyment of Planet Hulk.

I think I liked it, but then again, it could just be the title that calls to me.

Jul 2008
Not the most satisfying of endings, but overall one of the best graphic novel series I have read to date.
