A Wonderful Version and Tale of the Man of Steel

I thoroughly enjoyed this project. Gene Luen Yang has been on fire. I read his previous collaboration with Gurihiru on the continuing adventurers of Avatar: The Last Airbender. Superman Smashes the Klan is sure to pique your interest. The The story utilizes the a bit unfamiliar Golden Age version of Superman from the old radio shows. He doesn’t have the full range of powers we normally associate with the modern version of the character. The art was very complimentary. The story was purposeful and charming.

Fantastic Four: Full Circle Review

The Fantastic Four find themselves with no choice but to journey into the Negative Zone, an alien universe composed entirely of anti-matter, risking not just their own lives but the fate of the cosmos! Fantastic Four: Full Circle is the first longform work written and illustrated by acclaimed artist Alex Ross, who revisits a classic Stan Lee–Jack Kirby story from the 1960s and introduces the storyline for a new generation of readers. With bold, vivid colors and his trademark visual storytelling, Ross takes Marvel’s first team of super heroes to places only he can illustrate. The book also features a special poster jacket, with the front flap unfolding to reveal an all-new fully painted origin story of the Fantastic Four.

DID YOU HEAR WHAT EDDIE GEIN DONE? Review

Did You Hear What Eddie Gein Done? is an in-depth exploration of the Gein family and what led to the creation of the necrophile who haunted the dreams of 1950s America and inspired such films as Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Silence of the Lambs. Painstakingly researched and illustrated, Schechter and Powell’s true crime graphic novel takes the Gein story out of the realms of exploitation and gives the reader a fact-based dramatization of these tragic, psychotic and heartbreaking events. Because, in this case, the truth needs no embellishment to be horrifying.
