-----------------------------------------------
I was a Marvel kid, but a friend of mine who's more of a DC fan turned me on to Kurt Busiek's "Astro City" series a while ago, and I have been continually impressed ever since.
This new volume is one of... more

| 2. Spider-Man Visionaries - Kurt Busiek, Vol. 1 (Vol 1) | 
|
By: Kurt Busiek, Pat Olliffe
Publisher: Marvel Comics
August 30, 2006
I could be too picky, but something just ain't right with the trade paperback SPIDER-MAN VISIONARIES: KURT BUSIEK volume 1. Don't get me wrong - Kurt Busiek's work on the wall-crawler really shines. I haven't enjoyed reading Spider-Man this much in years, as Busiek does something I've been clamoring for for quite a while: travelling waaaaaay back in time to tell stories set during the original Spidey... more

| 4. Life in the Big City (Astro City, Vol. 1) |
|
By: Kurt Busiek, Brent E. Anderson, Alex Ross
Publisher: Wildstorm
June 23, 1999
If you've read or seen Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, you'll have some idea of how this series works.
Instead of focusing on the titanic battles through space and time that the superheros fight, Astro City focuses on the "minor characters" of the universe. The average men and women who make up the population of the world, and how they can affect the superheros.
But... more

| 5. So Smart in Their Fine Uniforms (Arrowsmith, Book 1) |
|
By: Kurt Busiek, Carlos Pacheco
Publisher: Wildstorm
August 01, 2004
Apart from my love for Carlos Pacheco's art, I see Arrowsmith as a step in the right direction when it comes to the graphic novel form. Where on one end we get the pamphlet superhero compilations, and on the other end we get the artsy fare, Arrowsmith sought to tell a sci-fi fantasy war story that's obviously well-researched and cleanly structured. And one that could stand on its own.
I... more

| 8. Wizard's Tale |
|
By: Kurt Busiek, David Wenzel
Publisher: IDW Publishing
June 29, 2008
This is by far one of my favorite simple stories of good winning out over evil. The story is a simple tale of a bumbling wizard whose heart is so good that all of his evil spells turn out good, not a bad thing right but you see he's supposed to be an evil wizard from a long line of evil wizards. A wonderful tale you have only to look at the the other reviews to see how enjoyable this tale is... more

By: Kurt Busiek, Fabian Nicieza
Publisher: DC Comics
June 02, 2009
Wasn't even able to get through some pieces of this length work by Busiek. I went in with high expectations, and unlike some other reviews I actually found the art passable, although at times it wanes into cartoonish territory (many of Despero's sequences, for instance, look ridiculous). The writing and plot construction was the issue here.
For me, it had all the hallmarks of a disappointing... more

| 10. ASTRO CITY: THE DARK AGE, BOOK 1 |
|
By: Kurt Busiek
Publisher: WildStorm
July 29, 2008
This is probably my least favorite Astro City story so far. For some reason, I don't care much about the interplay between the two main characters. The back story of the golden age Astro City heroes is always interesting, though. Even an ordinary Astro City story is better than most everything else out there... more
