OMG
comic book?!
yeah, that's about right, and about as weighty as McCain's convictions and support for everyday Americans.
Want a comic? Please get Bobby Kennedy's Steal Back Your Vote!. Too bad amazon somehow ran out!... more

| 2. Going, Going, Gone (Gon Series ; No 4) | 
|
By: Masashi Tanaka
Publisher: Dc Comics
1996-09
Gon is a little dinosaur with a big attitude, who enjoys marching around various environments and terrorizing the big, mean animals within. This is probably the best of the Gon books I've read so far; I particularly enjoy Gon Rests. A warning: Gon tends to have a somewhat sadistic side when it comes to dealing with mean creatures. While some may count it off as their just desserts, some readers... more

| 6. 52, Vol. 4 |
|
By: Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Keith Giffen
Publisher: DC Comics
November 07, 2007
This volume collects the fourth quarter of DC Comics' fifty-two issue weekly serial. If you read the first 39 issues' worth of this series then you'll almost certainly be buying this final act. The various plotlines reach their respective conclusions: some were fascinating while others disappointed. The multiverse segment at the end was too abstract for my tastes. The art seemed more disjointed... more

| 7. A Complete History of American Comic Books | 
|
By: Shirrel Rhoades
Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing
2008-01
American comic books had their origins as reprinted compilations of newspaper comic strips. It was with the introduction of super heroes beginning in the 1930s with Superman and Batman that illustrated books of original material began to appear on the market along side the popular 'pulp fiction' magazines of the day. In "A Complete History Of American Comic Books", former Marvel Comics publisher and... more

| 9. The Science of Superheroes | 
|
By: Lois H. Gresh, Robert Weinberg
Publisher: Wiley
September 29, 2003
I can only echo what the 2stars or lower reviewers said:
This is a lazily-written book that craps all over an interesting premise. Too much time on origin stories (apparently to bloat the page-count), when 95% of the target audience knows all this stuff.
If you're a comics fan who wants to know what's possible, impossible and if there's "any way these things could happen,"... more

| 10. Tales to Astonish: Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, and the American Comic Book Revolution | 
|
By: Ronin Ro
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
June 16, 2005
It's a breezy book that suffers from some glaring editing problems. Ronin describes Kirby's Army service with some nice stories, but the author also mentions that Kirby returned to the USA in 1943 - even though Kirby landed at Normandy 10 days after D-Day, which places the King in Europe in June 1944. Ronin's description of the National/Fawcett lawsuit implies that settlement was reached in the mid... more
