| 1. The Screwtape Letters: Marvel Comics | 
|
By: C. S. Lewis
Publisher: Marvel Comics
1994-05
I was delighted to find after 9 years or so an existing copy for sale of C. S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters narrated by John Cleese. A library I was near had it that time ago and on reflecting and hoping I found it through Amazon and through this excellent vendor. The cassette tapes are in excellent condition and the case for it was also in very good condition. Despite the Christmas time busyness I... more

The young gunslinger will soon embark on his world-spanning quest to destroy his sorcerous nemesis... and Gilead is definitely doomed.

| 3. Thor, Vol. 3 | 
|
By: J. Michael Straczynski
Publisher: Marvel Comics
February 17, 2010
J. Michael Straczynski came onto "Thor" with the launch of the current volume (after twelve issues renumbered to continue the combined numberings of all previous volumes), and now, after 16 issues, it concludes in this volume, which collects issues 601-603 and the "Defining Moments" special (which is effectively #604). The previous two volumes were generally of good quality, albeit with flaws, and... more

|
By: Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa
Publisher: Marvel Books
January 05, 2010
Marvel Books is the early days of a gutsy but respectful adaptation of The Stand by Stephen King. The story, as visualized through the narrative of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, the art of Mike Perkins, and the colors of Laura Martin, is being published in five-issue arcs, which are then collected in hardbound form with creator commentary, sketches, copies of alternative covers, and the other usual amenities... more

| 6. Dark Tower: Treachery |
|
By: Stephen King, Robin Furth, Peter David
Publisher: Marvel Books
April 21, 2009
The "Treachery" story arc of Marvel's Dark Tower comics features the best addition yet: Aileen, Cort's niece and aspiring gunslinger. Annie Oakley was one of the best gunslingers in our world, and the scene where Aileen bests Cuthbert is breathtaking. Once again, thanks to the creative team of Peter David and Robin Furth for fleshing out the alien, yet familiar, place that is Mid-World, and to Jae... more

By: Ed Brubaker
Publisher: Marvel Comics
November 25, 2009
Great read. Brubaker and Phillips have another hit series. And what's this? An ending that is somewhat happy?
Brubaker is one of my favorite comic book writers. If you liked this and want to get into the marvel universe without picking up a dozen titles, check out his run on Captain America or Daredevil... more

| 9. Pride and Prejudice (Graphic Novel) |
|
By: Jane Austen
Publisher: Marvel Books
October 26, 2009
My wife brought this home and said she loved it. I, however, must dump on it.
Look, I don't mind comic-book reimaginings of classic stories. Eric Shanower's version of "The Wizard of Oz," as an example, was welcomed in most quarters.
But Austen simply isn't fitting material for this. There's very little action. It's almost all verbal: just a bunch of heads sitting around... more

| 10. Wolverine: Old Man Logan |
|
By: Mark Millar
Publisher: Marvel Comics
October 26, 2009
I enjoyed this very much, but it's the little things that make instant fans. I am a huge fan of Dave Sim's Cerebus comics, and it's gratifying to see a Mark Millar tribute to the earthpig. Near the end of the book, Hulk's grandchildren are in a bar. One is called Elrod, and he has a doll just like Jaka's. ... more
