I admit that I fail to see the allure of the Joker as Batman's arch-rival. I know many folk who really love this book (& that is why I put it on my Batman list), but I just don't get it. It wasn't a chore or challenge to read, but ultimately it wasn't interesting. I will say that Batman's 1 li...
Gorgeous, gorgeous art by Chiang. Just for that it's worth reading (more like seeing).But yeah, this volume is cool. The whole shenanigans with the Gods feel like a soap-opera but in a good way. There's a lot of things happening here, at first I didn't know who some of the characters were but I r...
Azzarello's the worst. Joker hates apologies, too? The more I find out about this guy, the more I think we'd get along.
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...
When it comes to super heroes, I tend to lean more Marvel than DC, and I realized it's because I often look at DC heroes and find them off-putting. They're either gods or Batmans. Gods, like Green Lantern and Superman, can be boring because they're so powerful that only the most extreme or weird ...
I love me some mythology!I really enjoyed the first arc of the new Wonder Woman, it was much more focused on the mythology and the art and the story telling refreshed a stagnant series, I'm happy to say that Volume 2 is more of the same good stuff, but with some glaring annoyances that I'm starti...
I haven't quite formed my full opinion of the series yet but here are some things that are on my mind: -It doesn't get less confusing; this is frustrating because I stopped taking breaks between the issues as I got closer to the end since it became difficult to keep track of the story line if I h...
I loved this arc! I started reading the Azzarello take on Wonder Women as a George Perez fan, so in the first few issues I has mixed feelings - but they were soon dispelled as I delved deeply into the story and the reimagining of the gods of Olympus and Diana herself. I'm very pleased with the wa...
Wesley Willis is in this book as a schizophrenic demigod. Holy heck did that feel good to say out loud. Azzarello's characters are brilliantly written, and the driving force for what has proven to be one of the most stunning New 52 books so far. Issue #0 was a fun classically styled romp which pr...
Wow - what an end. Azzarello is a magician - like the brilliant Risso sub-story background that have had me flipping back to see where they began, its the hand that we weren't watching that the drives the finale.I know this series went on for years, but volume 11 with whitling down of the cast t...
I'm going to review these back to back, because I went on a binge reading yesterday, so I wound up blurring the lines of where one volume ended and the next began.Well, I loved it. I sincerely loved all of it. It was grandiose, awesome, and plotty, with a heavy dosis of intrigue on the side.It tr...
