| 2. Batman and the Mad Monk | 
|
By: Matt Wagner
Publisher: DC Comics
April 07, 2007
This is a sequel to Batman and the Monster Men and should be read after that (also great) book. On it's own this book could be considered to have a few loose ends, but then again, it's a sequel and shouldn't be judged as a completely stand alone collection.
It's brilliant. I don't know for sure, but I suspect it's in part a retelling of a classic Batman story (as Monster Men was). Julie... more

Publisher: Dark Horse
July 18, 2007
You just do not see much about the wildly popular Grendel Comics from Comico written by Matt Wagner and the Pander Brothers. Nor is it easy to find many of the early books written by Matt Wagner on his own. That is unfortunate, but maybe it is time for a new generation to discover the character. Dark Horse and Matt Wagner have been slowly releasing their works back into circulation which is a very... more

| 4. Madame Xanadu Vol. 1: Disenchanted | 
|
By: Matt Wagner
Publisher: Vertigo
July 21, 2009
This book was made for geeks like me. Appropriate to the subject matter of magic the stories are esoteric making complete sense only to comic book geeks that have been reading funny books as long as I have.
Without a knowledge of DC history (isn't this a Vertigo book?) the full impact these stories will be lost. However, Xanadu can probably be enjoyed by anyone who loves alternate history... more

Plot SPOILERS all over the place! And, definitely, do NOT read this if you haven't yet gone thru MAGE: THE HERO DISCOVERED.
To start off, I dig King Arthur stories. As far as novels featuring him go, I've a personal short list (Tim Power's The Drawing of the Dark (Del Rey Impact), Molly Cochran and Warren Murphy's The Forever King, Stephen R. Lawhead's Avalon The Return of King Arthur... more

|
By: Matt Wagner
Publisher: DC Comics
August 23, 2006
Matt Wagner mailed it in on this book. His cover art is extremely well rendered, atmospheric and detailed.
But the interior art appears to have been drawn in ink without first using pencils. John Byrne "pioneered" the concept when he was simultaneously writing and drawing Fantastic Four and Alpha Flight. Then, as now, the result is extremely undetailed and dark renderings. Wagner's... more

Wagner really doesn't get Wonder Woman or the Amazons, and plays too fast-and-loose with powers, attitudes, etc. Not a great piece of work... more

| 8. Grendel: Devil's Reign (Grendel (Graphic Novels)) | 
|
By: Matt Wagner, Tim Sale
Publisher: Dark Horse
March 11, 2009
This book consists of two stories: one is like illustrated novel and tells tale of Orion Assante and what happened after he took power. Other is 'real' comic with strong art and tells tale about what happened to some characters from 'God and devil' storyline you HAVE to read. If you start reading this book and didn't read Grendel before OR mentioned story, you will feel confused. Get 'God and Devil'... more

By: Matt Wagner, Tim Sale, John K Snyder III, Various Artists
Publisher: Dark Horse
August 20, 2008
Despite a few laughs nothing hooked. I'm no Christian for sure, but I thought the tireless Catholic bashing was obnoxious and flat. A broader religious critique might've satiated me. The pages are crammed with dull soliloquies I regret spending time and effort reading. I generally like the art and style. Cyborg pope? Hell yes! Page 104 has our hero using a spear to make Christ bleed collection... more

I got this book only because of the reviews in this page and for this reason only. Oh man, I should keep searching for reviews out there. I am (after this at least) not a fan of Matt Wagner... not his way to write nor his way to draw Batman. The ilustrations are square and dry as so his way to write; I mean, if you read this you must realize how BORING this is on the first part of the book. The... more
