This is POWERFUL stuff. There are many great things to talk about, so I should better categorize: The ART is detailed and impressive. We can get lost in the intrincate detail and look at the book over and over and find out new details that were missed at the previous readings.
The STORY is complex, with lots of layers and lots of action and characters and events. Absolutely entertaining and hard... more

I've also been a fan of A Distant Soil since its inception at WaRP graphics in the 80s.
Colleen's artwork has always been extremely beautiful and moving. This time around the storyline has evolved to a level of exquisitness that it matches the poinancy of her visuals. I eagerly anticipate the 5th and final book in this series. And am hoping I can get my copies of the first four books... more

Most how-to books tell you how to do things in the style of the person writing the book. This one goes into detail over the different subsets of manga, and how to achieve each look. Anyone that thinks it all looks alike is mistaken! The author knows her history and her art genres :-)
There's a lot of good solid advice in here, not just a bunch of tricks and shortcuts. You can create... more

June 01, 2004
This is a book about dreams, ideas and high concepts. Too bad it's not about story and characters.
The premise is a great one, and along with the absolutly fantastic cover art it hooked me on the book instantly: 10 years after it vanished from orbit, the Space Shuttle Venture returns to Earth in a firey crash. All but 1 of the crew are missing, the ship is covered in strange material... more

By: Joe Michael Straczynski, Colleen Doran
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 27, 2006
This was a pretty good book. The main characters are well established, the plots were fairly standard crisis of the week deal, however at the end when a new character was introduced, I would have loved to see were it would have gone next. The series had lot of potential and it`s too bad it was dropped. Highly recommended... more

Peter David is one of my favorite writers and he's given me another wonderful novel. The story of the boy who thinks his fate in intertwined with the fate of his favorite hero's mascot is charming, exciting and at the end very emotional. A great story that will be enjoyed by any fan of comics as well as adventure stories. I also want to compliment the lovely and talented Colleen Doran's great artwork... more
