review 1: City of Owls is a great follow up to Court of Owls. While not as boundary pushing as Court of Owls, Snyder still introduces new concepts to the Batman universe and offers a new take on some familiar villains. Snyder does help flesh out the overall time line and gives us some gr...

review 1: I really enjoyed this as my first foray into the batman comics. I've followed events through comic vine, wiki etc but I've never indulged my desire to start the comics partly the cost and partly never knowing quite where to start. Although the new 52 continuation has given me a g...

review 1: I love this series, however I was not that happy that Rafael Albequre (sp?) had not done most of the artwork for this set of novels. I loved the way that the characters were portrayed, and the death of Skinner Sweet (though, since the series is focused on him and there are at lea...

review 1: Scott Snyder wrote what is one of the best Batman stories I've ever read in The Black Mirror. His current run with Capullo isn't quite that good, but he's still the best Dark Knight author not named Miller. Zero Year is a lot of fun. The thing that always strikes me about everyth...

review 1: The first part of this taut science fiction thriller by Scott Snyder (with haunting illustrations by Sean Murphy) is everything you could want from a genre comic: horror, suspense, intrigue, secret underwater oil rigs, monstrous mermen... everything. Sean Murphy's artwork here is...

review 1: I enjoyed the reboot of Swamp Thing and the place it will take on the overall Green-Red-Rot mythology that DC has created in conjunction with Animal Man, a character I didn't give a second thought at all, and in fact seemed redundant to me in a universe that also has Vixen, Beast...

review 1: Excellent as usual. This is one of my favorite comics. Superhero comics leave a lot to be desired for me now, but "American Vampire" fills the void nicely. I've been reading it since it started and it hasn't disappointed. I love that the story universe encompasses a world of vamp...

review 1: Review in short: This needs to be an ongoing series. Now. Or at least an regularly occurring mini-series.Review in long: I remember seeing this in my comic shop when it was initially released, but paid little mind to it. I wasn't reading "mainstream" comics at the time, and ...

review 1: The grand collection of Joker stories in the new 52 is surprisingly empty. First of all, it does not include the main story that was seen in Batman: Death of the Family, so all of those wondering whether this is the collected edition, no, it is not. To all fans of Batman, I recom...

review 1: Scott Snyder does an amazing job creating a different kind of vampire for a different country and era. How would the society and culture of a nation effect the undead? Also, how would the older race of vampires deal with something almost alien to them?A nice change from the stan...

review 1: In this second instalment of the American vampire saga we follow Skinner Sweet, Pearl and Hattie into the 1930's and the Great Depression.So much to love about this: The characters are amazing, the artwork bites and the sprawling story develops both character and the American nat...

review 1: After having enjoyed the first volume, "Raise Them Bones", which left me excited about the rest of Scott Snyder's run on Swamp Thing, I couldn't help but feeling a little bit let down by "Family Tree". Don't get me wrong, this second volume is a great read. It collects different ...

review 1: Meh.I bought this for Sean Gordon Murphy's art, and that's just great, as usual.The story, however, is quite unimpressive and the scientific premises are all hogwash. The discredited theory of the acquatic monkeys is the very foundation of the setting, and there are several rathe...

review 1: This was pretty amazing! And I am shocked to see me typing that... I was skeptical heading into it, but quickly changed my mind.First of all, the art work is stunning. At once grotesque, horrific, expressionistic and surreal. It feels and looks like artwork that would be foun...

review 1: This was slightly better than some of the previous volume as it presented Batman in what seemed to be a dystopian future, but was actually a dystopian past o.O (It gets confusing at times.) The Riddler has conquered Gotham and Batman must use stealth tactics to unseat him as all ...

review 1: This sort of disappointed me. The vampire hunter angle is usually the weakest done in this books, mainly because despite tying up some loose ends, has the same predictable pattern that we have seen in all vigilante books, movies or comics. Pearl is the one decent character that i...

review 1: In this issue of American Vampire Scott Snyder takes a step back from all that silly vampire nonsense to take a look at a few important issues such as restoring the lands of the native American peoples, the dangers of teenage rebellion, the rise in vampire home invasions, and of ...

review 1: I've read several reader reviews criticizing this book for what it's not: a continuation of the series' primary narrative. I think that complaint speaks to just how fucking good American Vampire is. I was delighted to read this compilation of short stories. Yes they are of varyin...

review 1: I really like this addition to the Gothamverse as I choose to call it. The Court of Owls, Gotham's own Illuminati, have a league of assassins on ice, ready to do their bidding, until one decides to shun his role and runs. They won't stand for that and mayhem ensues.This is a grea...

review 1: Iron Man Noir by Scott Snyder, is part of the run of Noir comics Marvel came out with for a bunch of their characters. Take a regular Marvel character, like Spider-man, Wolverine, or Iron Man, and place him in a time and place that would be something our of an old gangster type m...

review 1: This Batman story felt fresh and new, and at the same time like a classic tale and totally part of the Batman mythos. Well done Snyder and team.Few complaints: Bruce looked a tad too young -- this was probably on purpose. There was a shot with Bruce, Dick and Tim and another wi...

review 1: Good stuff. The premise here is that in the late 1800s, a new breed of vampires rises in America, with slightly different abilities and weaknesses than their predecessors, the Euro-vamps. Two different stories are told in this volume: Scott Snyder's tale of Skinner Sweet and Pear...

review 1: (4.5) Was really surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. I liked the first one enough but I was worried after reading the end that it would just be Batman fighting a bunch of owls throughout the whole book. That's definitely the first half but there's so much more, including a...

review 1: I am a huge Batman fan but I'm still having trouble getting into the groove of the New 52 series. This volume is going back and showing early adventures of Batman as he battles The Red Hood Gang, which I think is supposed to be an early origin of the Joker. It's not a bad series,...

review 1: This volume is composed of a single over-sized side story and an anthology issue. So don't expect any progress with Skinner Sweet's or Pearl's stories.The Long Road to Hell was entertaining but the couple is no Sweet and Pearl. And writing this review just a week after reading ...

review 1: Now that's how you take a hiatus! Comparing this with other series that have had mid run pauses to regather before the push to the end, this is a very good effort.You could skip this volume entirely without affecting the main story arch - the stories are of no consequence and do...

review 1: Creepy...Scott Snyder introduces us to his new horror comic Wytches and the first issue is pretty good. There aren't any major problems with it, we get introduced to the main characters and a pretty neat mystery. This comic has the same horror vibe as Snyder's run on Swamp Thing....
