Is the warning of this classic tale all that far off from the big brother induced haze some of the west is seeping into currently? A must read.

READ IT!! Even if you're NOT a comic book fan!
I'll confess something right away: I'm NOT a comic book fan. I've never really read individual comic books or followed characters thru yrs of changes, variations, versions, etc. I've always been more interested in graphic novels & Watchmen was one of the 1st I ever ...

Let's hope Greg's mom buys him another "Diary" soon!

Chasing the Dragon
At this writing there are 321 customer reviews about this book. The overwhelming majority of them rating it with 5 stars. It's very likely this review will never be read, but I just had to have my say. This book is so good it will almost ruin your comic reading ...

The Cheese Touch
The Diary of a Wimpy Kid By Jeff Kinney Yes, this is a very funny book. Greg is the middle child and in middle school. He is also in the middle of everything. If there is a problem at home or at school, you can bet he has been there. What does it take to be ...
Batman: The Killing Joke

DC Comics

Dissects, Examines, and Redefines the Batman/Joker Dynamic
I consider myself fairly well-versed in comics, but I've generally steered clear of super-hero comics. Batman and the X-Men are pretty much the only ones I've touched, but even with those, I haven't really had the urge to delve deeper into their stories. I've, of ...
Y: The Last Man, Vol. 10: Whys and Wherefores
Brian Vaughan
Vertigo
, 2008
end of a marvelous series
Whenever you get to the final part of a long-running series, you tend to review the series as a whole versus the last book in particular. Fortunately in this case the last chapter matches the quality of the series. "Whys and Wherefores" does what many ...
Batman: The Long Halloween

Harvey Dent, Tragic Character
This is probably one of the first stories that really showed Harvey Dent as a tragic figure in the Batman universe rather than some demented villain with a duel identity issue. The Long Halloween probably did the best of showing the relationship of Batman, Jim Gordon, ...
Batman: Arkham Asylum (15th Anniversary Edition)
Grant Morrison
DC Comics
, 2005
In the mouth of madness
For any beginning comic reader, and even more so for anyone else, "Arkham Asylum" is essential. Claimed by DC to be the best-selling graphic novel of all time, "Arkham Asylum" is deep, psychological, terrifying, and as dark as any comic I've ever read. Grant Morrison ...
Batman: Year One
Frank Miller
DC Comics
, 2007
THE Origin Of The Batman
Frank Miller put together the best re-telling of the beginnings of Batman. From the death of Bruce Wayne's parents, all the way through his first tenuous year as a crime fighter. You can see where a lot of Batman Begins was inspired by this piece of work. It's the ...

Jeff Kinney
Amulet Books
, 2009
The highly anticipated third book in the critically acclaimed and bestselling series takes the art of being wimpy to a whole new level. Let’s face it: Greg Heffley will never change his wimpy ways.

Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
Marjane Satrapi
Pantheon
, 2004
Awesome Experience
Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!

The Walking Dead Volume 8
Another 5 star effort from Kirkman, Adlard, & Rathburn. This series continues to entertain and shock. Just when you think the surprises are done another awaits a page later. It's hard to write comments about this series without venturing into spoilers (I won't) so ...

It is Amazing
This Comic is very good, but before you buy "Dark Victory" do you need buy "The helloween". It's a serie, the fisrt one is "The helloween" and the second is "Dark Victory". The quality of the product is good, the paperback is like a plastic paper, the pictures are ...
