(2014) by A. Moore and K. O Neill. This one takes place in 1941.
This is the best of the three, but one must read them all. Takes place in 1975 and Blofeld gets a mention. In the 1987 epilogue there is also a mention of "the Scaramanga sisters".
Not too impressed by this. Unoriginal story and Casalanguida s artwork nowhere near what he did on Hellboy. Disappointing.
The final issue of what has to be the longest running zombie comic in history (a record I don't see being topped for a good long time). I'm happy, I'm sad, but overall, the series lived its life its own way and the ending was superb.
Now I can only hope the TV show goes out the same way.
Another disappointment. The best thing about this is the cover artwork by Greg Smallwood. Nice touch that these boks have a pts, but those aren t too impressive, either.
This was my first encounter with Bernard Prince back in 1973.
I have always liked that book but yes, @MaxCasino, a tad over-hyped if you ask me. To be honest... I think Morrison's a bit over-hyped too. He's great at times, and then, at other times, when the drugs are taking over or whatever, things just end up a big confusing mess. Rock Of Ages was awesome and this book is really good, but I have read stuff of his where even he admits that things only have to make sense to a certain point. He's what now, the David Lynch of comics? ;-) And that's not a compliment.
That's how it usually goes with Morrison books for me too. I buy them based on a really interesting premise and tons of good reviews, and then I "store" them until the time is right. His material is just so darn messy at times... makes me feel like a complete moron while trying to read it. Luckily he himself has said, on one of Kevin Smith's FOB podcasts, that sometimes, "things just don't make any sense" to him as well. He just goes with it as he's writing. That, along with many hints of substance (ab)use, confirms my suspicion that it may not be entirely my problem that some of his stuff is at times deliriously confusing.
Real quality western that I appreciate even more now than I did at the age of nine.
1963. Never read this one before. Great stuff.
Got myself a collection of the first six issues, of 12 in total. This starts in 1992, and introduces the DC universe into the Watchmen universe. Although not on the level of the Moore/Gibbons original series, still very interesting.
I can partly agree with that, but a few of the BEFORE WATCHMEN issues were very good.
"There should never be another issue of anything involving the Watchmen mythos." There, fixed it for you.
Not to be snarky or anything but Alan Moore's dissatisfaction with the state of things re: Watchmen is pretty well known. Bottom line, according to the contract he had with DC for Watchmen, once the material went out of print the property was supposed to revert to Alan's ownership...however, Moore had not anticipated the rise of evergreen Graphic Novels (such as Frank Miller's Dark Knight and his own Watchmen) which were kept eternally in print...meaning that his expectation of owning the intellectual property outright never actually occurred, as the material never went out of print. What we have now is a situation where Alan feels he has been cheated by DC and he will never again have anything to do with the company, while the accountants and businessmen that make many of the company's decision will never give up the ability to continue to make more $$$ on the property by hiring people besides Alan who are willing to create new material featuring those characters and situations.
