As well as the inker and colourist who make significant contributions to the book's overall look.

-A graphic novel adaptation of Theodore Sturgeon's More Than Human. Despite it being called that there are no word balloons or caption boxes. Instead its more like a picture book, with multiple images next to the text. It was interesting read both because of the format and the story itself. The art had a very retro…

I think you meant to say "Sale is fine,…" rather then "Loeb is fine,…".
Yeah I know the Loeb/Sale pairing isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think they worked well with Batman and Superman (haven't read any of their Marvel books). I of course would argue that there is more to For All Seasons then Superman being sad.…

If a new reader asked "What's the definitive Superman origin comic?" I would say that I haven't read all of them but I would highly recommend Superman: For All Seasons.

I didn't know that was already out! I like Wonder Woman a lot and this seems like it could be an interesting take on her. I might wait for the physical issues though.

Yeah I'm in the middle of reading it and I'm finding it hard to put down.

You're welcome! Hope you enjoy it.

Funny you should mention the Ultimates series. I bought a used collection on sale at my local comics shop. I have heard so much about the series, both good and bad. Your take on it pretty much sums why I've been curious about it and I figured after getting into comics so recently, it's about time I gave it shot and…

I talked about the Judas coin in last week's What did you read thread. It's got a great hook and is so much fun.

My copy is the original graphic novel that was released under the Marvel Graphic Novel series back in the 1980s. The colouring is so striking and it differently fits Simonson's pencils.

That basically sums it up with me. Loved the character in the animated series, read a blog post praising the collection, picked it up at my local comic shop, was disappointed in it. Simonson is such a good story teller (I had just read the Judas Coin before reading Hawkgirl) I'm surprised I didn't enjoy as much as I…

I have read the very first graphic novel he wrote about them. It was very good. The mythology is quite odd but Simonson's storytelling and artwork make it work. I don't what the rest of the books are like but on the basis of the one read, I would recommend it.

I have and you're absolutely right about it. I my favourite element in the whole book was the way Simonsson drew the title.

That is most certainly true, although I prefer Wonder Woman to be paired with someone from her own supporting cast, rather than another superhero.

Another good point, although I don't think Simonson's work looks that bad computer coloured, at least based on the stuff of his I know was coloured that way.

That's a good point. The art is in general highly computer assisted which gives it this artificial look. Its hard for me to pinpoint exactly why it doesn't work.

I think my favourite moment was when Wonder Woman has to confront Superman. You think that its going to be some kind of brawl involving Kryptonite but instead she is just buying time, and states that the world cannot afford to lose him. That and their reconciliation at the end had some great character moments (…which…

Hawkgirl: The Maw- I was kind of disappointed with this. The story itself wasn't to bad and it definitely had some interesting elements, like the Lovecraftian cosmic stuff. I think what I didn't like about it was the art. I know Howard Chaykin is considered to be a good artist and he certainly is talented but…

Oh… well carry on then.

Okay but I still don't understand how a character not in any of the trailers spoils anything. It seems that it should do the opposite.
