I drown myself in movies, books, comics, and tv. And in the fog of 1000 stories, find something to pull me out.

| The novel was o pretty good, but it didn’t really live up to the hype of being a masterpiece, or the Lord of the Rings if as I-Ari. In fact, many parts felt more like fantasy than sci-fi. The mysticism of the story was the most interesting part, but ...more | |

| Wow that was a lot of 80’s Flash. A lot of it was fun and kind of endearing in a way. It came out when comics were shifting into more serious tones. A lot of that was happening at Marvel and in smaller projects at DC like Watchmen and the Dark Knight ...more | |

The main story, Superman surviving the Warworld Arena, was pretty good. It was even brutal at times, and the art, especially Ricardo Federici’s brought the world to life wonderfully. It was like seeing portraits of battles in a museum. The back up sto ...more |

| It was okay. There are a bunch of stories all connected, which reminded me of comics in the 80s, and of Claremont. But only bits and pieces were compelling. And the art was iffy at times. But it still entertained me. | |

I’ve read Absolute Batman and Superman, but Wonder Woman is much better. The new mythos surrounding her is more compelling. The gods are far more creatively presented than in any Wonder Woman before this. And the story is great (both of them). Oh and ...more |

rated a book it was amazing

This was heavily inspired by Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol. It’s surreal and abstract and sometimes confusing but not in a bad way. And the art is fantastic. I’m not sold on most of the Absolute line, but this was my favorite so far. |

| This is the best of the “From the Ashes” books I’ve read so far. It works well as a study on Kate Pryde and where she is now, but it’s also going backwards. Kate stopped going by Kitty in the Marauders series, but now wants to go by Kitty again. But ...more | |

| This should have been 4 issues. Too much time is spent on the Atlantis/US conflict and nothing really came of it yet. The story of the refugees was far more interesting, and could have been developed more before Superman flies off to Warworld. The pa ...more | |

| 3.5 stars. The series flows well, but the main villain’s story was a bit forced. Like we needed another character wanting to take revenge on Xavier. But it was a solid story. I’m still not feeling the post-Krakoa era but I’ll try a few more books. | |

| 3.5 stars really. This was a fun Elseworld story, but could have been 2 issues shorter. That first few were great, setting up the conflict and villains. I know it’s called Fortress, but they spent a little too much time on breaking into the Fortress ...more | |

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
