| 1. Hamlet (Classics Illustrated) |

By: Steven Grant, William Shakespeare, Gary Fields
Publisher: Berkley Publishing Group
1990-02
Note that this review refers to the Oxford World's Classics edition of Hamlet. Amazon does a really terrible job of sorting out which editions of Shakespeare plays are the same and which are different, so this review will almost certainly be referred where it does not belong.
This edition, like most of the Oxford World's Classics Shakespeare editions, is outstanding. The introduction is... more

By: Kevin VanHook, Tom Mandrake
Publisher: Titan Books Ltd
October 23, 2009
While I enjoyed it overall, I must admit that I found this book to be a bit of a disappointment. First of all, I'm not entirely sure why Superman is mentioned in the title. He doesn't show up until the end of the second issue/chapter, and he gets about as much page time as Green Arrow and Jason Blood/Etrigan. Honestly, this is more of a Batman story. I'm fine with that, but it feels like a bit of false... more

| 5. Legend Of GrimJack Volume 8 (v. 8) | 
|
By: John Ostrander, Tom Mandrake
Publisher: IDW Publishing
September 26, 2007
What is forgotten here in the previous review, is the beautifully and moody hand color work by one of the top colorists of the time, Julie Sczesny! She breathes life into the Demons of Cynosure, like no one else ever has since. Along with the funny bowling scene previously mentioned, it was made alive, with her excellent brush strokes, and her different tactics on each Munden's Bar.

| 9. Punisher by Garth Ennis Omnibus | 
|
By: Garth Ennis
Publisher: Marvel Comics
November 26, 2008
In an era of increasing prices of individual issues and out-of-print trade paperbacks, the Punisher Omnibus is one of the best deals out there. This monster tome is 50 issues of Garth Ennis (and Frank Castle) at his best. The opening 12 issues, "Welcome Back Frank" redefined a B-list character that suffered through the gimmick years of the mid 90's and established Ennis as the quintessential... more
