| 1. D-Day: The Battle for Normandy | 
|
By: Antony/ Stewart, Cameron (NRT) Beevor
Publisher: Penguin Group USA
January 01, 2009
Despite the name, this book covers the entire Normandy operation from the planning for the actual landing up through the liberation of Paris. I found it an outstanding book. Beevor has done an excellent job of using primary source material to give readers a real sense of the fighting at the "sharp end", but making sure that sense is grounded in the context of the larger operation. One example is the... more

| 7. Catwoman: the Dark End of the Street |
|
By: Ed Brubaker, Darwyn Cooke, Mike Allred, Cameron Stewart
Publisher: San Val
2008-03
This is a change in style for Catwoman, for both the character and the comic. Gone is Balent's purple suited bodacious buxom action babe, and in is the blacker, darker gritty underworld in the shadows kind of woman.
A change in color scheme and costume to go along with this, of course, and to offer a bit more protection.

| 8. The Scandal of the Season | 
|
By: Sophie Gee
Publisher: HighBridge Company
July 12, 2007
Sophie Gee is by all accounts, at least from her impressive credentials, the kind of author I would've expected a good historical novel from. THE SCANDAL OF THE SEASON is not a failure by any means, but it lacks spark and at times seems very much like a YA novel (I picked this one up from the adult literature section).
Gee's appreciation for poets, authors, painters, and occupations of... more

By: Jason Aaron, Cameron Stewart
Publisher: Vertigo
May 02, 2007
I will admit that I am a sucker for Superhero comics. For the longest time it was the bulk of my comic purchases. I have been trying to branch out lately in my comic selection and I have enjoyed Jason Aaron's previous work on Scalped Vol. 1: Indian Country and his run of Ghost Rider Vol. 1: Hell Bent and Heaven Bound (v. 5). So at [...] for the trade, I decided to pick this up.

| 10. Hellblazer: Highwater | 
|
By: Brian Azzarello, Marcelo Frusin, Giuseppe Camuncoli, Cameron Stewart
Publisher: Titan Books Ltd
August 23, 2004
Okay. So I just finished Azzarello's run, and I have to tell ya... lots of ups and downs. Aside from the fact that John Constantine basically says that magic doesn't exist in the middle volumes, and aside from the fact that this volume wraps up horribly and seemingly unexplainable, there is one major problem here: Constantine isn't IN the end of the storyarch. It begins with him "dead," and at the... more
