Richard Stark's Parker #2: The Outfit (2010)
Sequel to "The Hunter", not quite as compelling & dynamic as that ride was, but still first rate & 5 stars for this format. Cooke added various creative devices in the story-telling this time to keep it fresh , i.e. The "book within a book" moment with the magazine account from "Richard Stark" of...
Catwoman 01 (2012)
If you're looking for a female-centric story that will reassure your belief that women always need a man to come in and clean up their messes, this is the book for you.I really like the character of Catwoman in her more modern incarnations, and I like 90 percent of this one… but that 10 percent, ...
Catwoman tomo 1 (2012)
In Cat Woman: The Game, another title in DC’s New 52, Judd Winnick recreates the Cat Woman we know into more of a Cat Girl. She is neither so much of an adult, but young and raw and reckless. This Cat Woman is still naïve, despite her difficult past. Her relationship with Batman reflects this: ho...
Jane, der Fuchs & ich (2014)
A beautiful little book. This is another quick read but it feels like such a telling story of childhood and the awkward phase moving into adulthood. Reading this book I remembered the sad moments of my own childhood and struggles to make friends and realized how lucky I was that I had a strong fa...
Jane, la volpe & io (2014)
I think this one got a lot of good press and with good reason. A delicate, lovely illustrated book with a personal-feeling take on how it feels to not fit in in middle school and how hard it is to just shake it off and be who you are, but not with too much wallowing or self-pity. Literary allusio...
Jane, le renard et moi (2012)
Review by the resident 10yo. I think she did not like the topic of the book. We found it in the children's section of the library. May be more appropriate for middle school or high school. Jane, the Fox, and Me is a book about a young girl named Helene who is teased that she weighs more then she ...
Bunny Drop 1 (2010)
I mostly just started reading this because I'm interested in seeing the film adaptation (the kid who portrays Rin is an amazing actress), but the manga is actually really good so far. I was starting to think I don't like manga, since there can be some really messed-up content sometimes, but maybe...
Local (2008)
As I'm writing this, I'm currently taking a Young Adult Lit class in uni. Obviously, as it was an assigned reading, I hesitated reading it because of preconceptions I had about books assigned to me not being ones I like, but I'm almost always proven wrong. Especially with this one. It's a beautif...
Yummy: The Last Days of a Southside Shorty (2010)
I thought 'Yummy' was a pretty interesting book. It is a true story that takes place in inner city Chicago and it is mostly about the death of Robert 'Yummy' Sandifer and his classmate Roger who was trying to figure out why he would be involved in the gang lifestyle. He gets the name 'Yummy' due ...
Detective Comics, Vol. 1: Faces of Death (2012)
Meh. It wasn't great but it also wasn't terrible. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman was more my style. This felt a little lack luster at times. The main reason I bought it was so that I got the story where the Joker gets his face skinned off before I read Death of the Family. But that was su...
Kick-Ass - 2 (2013)
Me gustó mucho pero creo que no tanto como Kick-Ass 1. Los gráficos siguen siendo increíbles [increíblemente sangrientos xD] al igual que la historia pero creo que a esta le faltó algo.Y sigo pensando en las películas y en lo distintas que son de los comics. Pero creo que deben criticarse por sep...
Uncanny X-Force: The Apocalypse Solution (2011)
A great mix of characters with even greater art and writing. This is the best Uncanny or X-Anything I've read from Marvel. I typically shun the big name titles but was lucky enough to give this one a try. If the writing stays true to the characters, there will be a high turnover rate in the cast....
Imposibles X-Force: La solución Apocalipsis (2011)
This is the opening arc of one of the most acclaimed runs on the X-Men characters. This is up there with the Claremonts, Morrisons and Whedons. This is where writer Remender impressed me with his unforgiving take on an covert X-Men wetworks squad and made excellent use of the characters Fantomex ...
Coringa (2008)
The artwork is excellent, don't get me wrong. I'm confident there are parts of this story that resonate with other people and that other people might enjoy this work just fine.For me, I just don't jive with this writer's interpretation of the Joker's character as well as his interpretation of Har...
Jokeri (2008)
Azzarello's the worst. Joker hates apologies, too? The more I find out about this guy, the more I think we'd get along.
