| 1. Suicide Squad: From the Ashes | 
| By: John Ostrander
Publisher: DC Comics
September 02, 2008
John Ostrander's 80 run on the Suicide Squad was ground-breaking in it's use of realistic story lines and dark characters. When the Suicide Squad went on a mission people died. The foes were just as likely to be drug lords or terrorists as aliens or supervillains.
But more than the body count or politics, the series worked because the characters were very well realized and did not fit... more

| | 2. Spectre, The: Crimes and Punishments | 
| By: John Ostrander, Tom Mandrake
Publisher: DC Comics
October 08, 1993
The Spectre is a DC character who was early on subjected to what I like to call the apotheosis of comic superheroes. The most obvious example of this is Superman, who was created as a sort of generic strongman bully in the '30s and evolved into a cosmic messiah by the '70s. The Spectre was the ghost of tough-as-nails cop Jim Corrigan sent back from the afterlife with a mission from God ("You shall... more

| | 3. Star Wars: Darkness |
| By: John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, Ray Kryssing, John Ostrander
Publisher: Dark Horse
August 02, 2002
Another outstanding graphic novel by John Ostrander. Again, the theme is Quinlan Vos and his Padawan, Aayla Secura. As with Twilight, which introduced Vos, an excellent story of how he tries to remember himself and regain control after his memory was wiped by a drug called Glitteryll (I believe it's a form of Spice). Vos is dispatched by the Jedi Council to Kiffex, a prison world near Kiffu, Vos's... more

| | 4. On the Fields of Battle (Star Wars: Clone Wars, Vol. 6) (v. 6) |
| By: John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, Dan Parsons, Brad Anderson, Tomas Giorello
Publisher: Dark Horse
August 03, 2005
Part of a series on the clone wars, but done much better than others. Would recommed getting entire collection, but this one clearly demonstrates the fundamental differences between the stretched thin (physically and emotionally) the Jedi are and their blindness to the fact that they are being manipulated. It makes the story a bit lame, especially given all of the knowledge and power and insight that... more

| | 5. Harlan Ellison's Dream Corridor Volume 2 (v. 2) | 
| By: Harlan Ellison, Gerard Jones, Mark Waid, Steve Niles, John Ostrander, Various, Eric Shanower, Neal Adams, Paul Chadwick, Steve Rude
By: Various
Publisher: Dark Horse
March 28, 2007
Dream Corridor Vol 2 is a collection of Harlan Ellison's short stories in comic format. This is a real gem! Each story is drawn, inked and interpreted by different superstars of the comic scene. The interstitials with Harlan Ellison introducing each story are also entertaining and very well-drawn.
Harlan Ellison is a fan of the comics medium, and it shows here in his painstaking... more

| | 6. Honor and Duty (Star Wars) |
| By: John Ostrander, C.P. Smith, Luke Ross, Jasen Rodriguez, Steve Firchow
Publisher: Dark Horse
May 17, 2006
A nicely written side story of the Star Wars saga. This gives the reader a view of things for the view of individuals not normally seen or heard from, unless Darth Vader is killing them. Good quality graphics and a nice flow of the dialogue. It would be a good addition to your Star Wars collection because it shows that there were others involved and how their upbringing, duty, honor and family affected... more

| | 8. Twilight (Star Wars: Ongoing, Volume 4) |
| By: John Ostrander, Jan Duursema, Rick Magyar
Publisher: Dark Horse
November 29, 2001
Fans of Quinlan Vos and Aayla Secura will be quite pleased, Mace Windu fans will not be. Quinlan has no memory, except for AWOL Aayla. As he attempts to both remember who he is and collect Aayla he finds himself drifting in and out of the shadows. He is neither 'light' nor 'dark' but what he requires to accomplish his goals. The role that attachment plays is worked very well into the story... more
