Ultra-violent, guns, robots, barb wire...I had a great time reading this! It's not perfect in my opinion, but what it does well, it does very well. ... more

| 3. From Hell |
|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: Top Shelf Production
February 23, 2000
A great work, both historically and artistically.
Reading the massive notes by Alan Moore to each page looks challenging but adds unmissable informations, plus they're often funny. Moore and Campbell did a great research on Victorian era history, life and photographs.
Very dark... more

| 4. Wolverine |
|
By: Chris Claremont
Publisher: Marvel Comics
April 01, 2009
Wolverine is taken for granted today, but back when this comic mini-series came out he wasn't guest-starring in every book and little was known of the character's history. This storyline put in place many of the elements that still survive today. Not only that, it made the character interesting to those who had no interest in him before.
Claremont and Miller are at the top of their games... more

| 6. Batman: The Dark Knight Strikes Again | 
|
By: Frank Miller, Lynn Varley
Publisher: DC Comics
January 01, 2004
Frank, there was just no need. Even if there were, why would you go and spoil the original Dark Knight Returns, one of the most influential comic stories of all time, with a follow-up composed of complete drek? I'm sure the motivation was pure money and I'm sorry that you now have mine... more

February 23, 2005
I really, really enjoy Frank Miller's writing. The style and psychology of his storytelling are almost unmatched in the comic world. However, I don't care for the 'graphic' element of this novel. The black-and-white images just didn't capture my imagination. This was about the story, the writing--for me. ... more

| 9. Batman: Year One |
|
By: Frank Miller
Publisher: DC Comics
January 10, 2007
What a great graphic novel! The tale of Batman begins here, and Frank Miller does an excellent job! This paces like a movie, and I had it finished in a half hour, which left me sad, but I'd rather that than it drag on! Do yourself a favor - if you're a Batman fan, pick this up!

| 10. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 2 |
|
By: Alan Moore, Kevin O'Neill
Publisher: Wildstorm
September 01, 2004
Another volume of masterful play--Moore does an excellent job develop his characters in new and interesting ways. The entrance of extraterrestrial invaders seems a little odd, but it's handled really well by the author. If you're really fond of any characters, consider skipping this title: they suffer odd and unexpected fates. ... more
