Please. Please stop raping Spiderman.

Sweet Jesus I love this series.
ComicSuperhero
Brian Michael Bendis
Aug 2008
I can't remember enjoying Spider-man this much before.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Joss Whedon
Aug 2008
Just when I began losing interest in Runaway, Whedon does it right.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
John Layman
Aug 2008
Pointless, and severely lacking the wit that made the Army of Darkness films so enjoyable.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Geoff Johns
Aug 2008
I have been out of the Green Lantern mythos for far too long to have properly enjoyed this.

While I usually love this sort of thing, I'm left with a resounding 'meh'.
NovelSuperhero
Dan Slott
Jul 2008
Enjoyable, but not enjoyable enough to make you forget the recent raping of Spiderman.
NovelSuperhero
Andy Diggle
Jul 2008
I genuinely never thought I'd care about a Robin Hood wanna be, but damn was that enjoyable. Anxious for more.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
Jul 2008
This Series is a mixture of The West Wing and Batman, with a hint of Heroes thrown in. I'm absolutely enthralled.
ComicSuperhero
Garth Ennis
Jul 2008
A very, very strong start to a series.
GraphicnovelFantasy
Robert Kirkman
Jul 2008
Blasted through this one in an evening. Ridiculously captivating.
GraphicnovelFantasy
Robert Kirkman
Jul 2008
While Kirkman has a hit or miss record with me, this series is definitely a strong, strong hit.
GraphicnovelFantasy
Geroge RR Martin
Jul 2008
Disappointing.
ComicScifi

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

Jun 2008
Not as much fun as the original, but still enjoyable.
NovelFantasy
Geroge RR Martin
Jun 2008
Fantastic concept, but the novel fails to do anything really interesting with it.
ComicSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
Jun 2008
Vaughan is losing me, but I'll still check it out when Whedon takes over.
ComicSuperhero

I think I liked it, but then again, it could just be the title that calls to me.
ComicSuperhero
J. Michael Straczynski
Jun 2008
I don't think I've ever been this uninterested in finishing a comic book.
ComicFantasy

Jun 2008
By all accounts, it shouldn't have been half as enjoyable as it was. But I love that old guy.
ComicSuperhero

A resounding 'meh'.

Fun concept with uninteresting results.

Bland for Kirkman.

A few gems, but for the most part, rather bland.
ComicSuperhero
Greg Pak
Jun 2008
Really disappointing, especially following the enjoyment of Planet Hulk.
ComicSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
May 2008
Good enough to keep me interested for volume 2. Not Vaughan's best work.
GraphicnovelSuperhero
Frank Miller
May 2008
A good story, but Miller's convoluted telling detracts from it.
ComicSuperhero
J. Michael Straczynski
May 2008
Would have been enjoyable if it wasn't such a slap in the face to long time fans.
ComicScifi
Robert Kirkman
May 2008
Sweet Zombie Jesus, yes.
ComicSuperhero
Neil Gaiman
May 2008
Great build up, felt shortchanged by the payoff. Somewhat anticlimactic.
NovelFantasy
Scott Lynch
May 2008
Not as strong as the original, but still a great adventure for Locke & Jean.
NovelScifi
Orson Scott Card
May 2008
Losing complete interest in this universe.
NovelFantasy
Naomi Novik
May 2008
Unfortunately unremarkable.

May 2008
The return of main series protagonist Jon Perry pleased me greatly.
NovelScifi
John Scalzi
May 2008
Scalzi's sense of humor mixed with his gift for storytelling makes for one hell of a sequel.
ComicSuperhero
Mark Millar
May 2008
Absolutely fantastic. You can't get much more in your face than this.
ComicSuperhero
Darwyn Cooke
May 2008
The Green Lantern sequences were enjoyable, the rest fell flat.
GraphicnovelFantasy
Garth Ennis
May 2008
Unique premise, and incredibly dirty, but ultimately goes nowhere.
NovelScifi
Steve Perry
May 2008
A fun return to the Matador universe I had discovered as a kid, but standard Perry otherwise.
ComicSuperhero
Brian K Vaughan
May 2008
Without the threat of the pride, so goes the urgency that kept volume 1 moving.
ComicSuperhero
Robert Kirkman
Apr 2008
What Spiderman should have been.
ComicSuperhero
J. Michael Straczynski
Apr 2008
JJ confronts Peter Parker, whom he now knows is Spider-man. Should've been so much more.
NovelFantasy
Scott Lynch
Apr 2008
One of the best debut's I've read. Think Lord of the Rings meets Ocean's Eleven.
ComicSuperhero
Darwyn Cooke
Apr 2008
Didn't live up to the hype, found the story too fragmented.
NovelFantasy
Orson Scott Card
Mar 2008
Better than Speaker for the Dead, but more of the same in the Ender & Friends saga.
NovelScifi
Geroge RR Martin
Mar 2008
Hard to root or care for a ridiculously unlikeable character.
NovelScifi
Orson Scott Card
Mar 2008
A great many words can't make up for the lack of a good story.
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.
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
Alan Moore
Jan 2008
20 years later and still one of those relevant graphic novels ever produced.
NovelScifi
John Scalzi
Jan 2008
A unique premise in literary science fiction? That's crazy talk.
Novel

You'll never look at the subway the same way ever again.
NovelScifi
Arthur C Clarke
Mar 2005
A wonderful introduction, but not as satisfying as the series that follows.
