Publisher: SLG Publishing
July 01, 2001
I bought this and volume 2 expecting it to be like most trades and just reprint the full comics in order. To my surprise they are actually broken down by characters and bits that he did. Which works out great as well, but for some reason there are not Eltingville Club pieces. With these guys being in a majority of the individual titles it was disappointing not to see any of their adventures in either... more

| 2. Dork Volume 2: Circling The Drain | 
|
By: Evan Dorkin
Publisher: SLG Publishing
September 02, 2003
I got this book a few weeks ago and can't stop reading it. The shorter strips are comic works of art. However, the book also has some of the best writing about depression I've ever seen. I'm getting more copies to give to friends... more

| 3. 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

| 4. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Vol. 1 |
|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: America's Best Comics
October 01, 2002
I read a few of the bad reviews here as I always do first off to get the lay of the land and most of them seem to have a problem with the morality of the story and the art work. To me this is strange as the art work is it's strength and I didn't find the whole thing particularly immoral though the invisible man character is amoral but is meant to be so... ?!?
Kevin O'Neill drew a... more

| 5. Johnny The Homicidal Maniac: Director's Cut |
|
By: Jhonen Vasquez
Publisher: SLG Publishing
1997-07
I used to read these comics in High School and I thought that they were amazing. The material is still pretty good years later. The only part that I don't care for as much any more is the Happy Noodle Boy comic sections... maybe I just grew out of them, but the randomness just doesn't work for me. You could miss entire frames and not miss anything from the story of the comic (if there happens to be... more

| 6. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier | 
|
By: Alan Moore
Publisher: WildStorm
November 04, 2008
This is a significant shift away from the two earlier LEG books, as one might expect (based on the ending of the second). Here, Moore testing the boundaries of his own genre and playing games with the comic book medium. My favorite portion was the 'Forrest-Gump'-esque character who travels through the annals of empire and history--Orlando. Overall, less action and more careful, conceptual thought than... more

By: Jhonen Vasquez
Publisher: SLG Publishing
August 01, 1998
My God, I can't believe I buy this book . And I would say... I will CURSE Jhonen Vasquez for destroying my happy, normal mind.
Anyhow, this book is really something to be red. This is not an ordinary book that all about nice stuffs, about good versus bad things. This, at the exact contrary, is all about being a little boy who really has a veeeeeeeeery bad luck in his life.
Yep... more

| 10. The Sandman Vol. 3: Dream Country |
|
By: Neil Gaiman, Malcolm Jones III, Charles Vess, Steve Erickson
Publisher: Vertigo
September 24, 1991
Taking a break after the sweeping grandeur of The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House, Gaiman creates what is essentially a short story collection, allowing him to play with different ideas and themes within the boundaries of his intricate mythology. As with any short story collection, some of the four stand out more than others, but it's rare to find a collection where none of the pieces truly misfire... more
