World War Z
By. Max Brooks
novel (352 pgs)
Incredibly detailed, perfectly formulated, 100% believable, and its an account of a World War in which it is the world (vs) the zombie epidemic. Flawlessly put together first sentence to last.
The Filth
Complete Comic Series (316 pgs)
Written by. Grant Morrison
Art by. Chris Weston & Gary Erskine
If Phillip K. Dick had a fascination with all things known to the world as demoralizing and then, with said fascination, and a few hits of mescaline, decided to write a comic series, The Filth is what you'd get. Without a doubt some of the most wacked out stuff I have ever read in my life. Hard to grasp at some points, great art throughout and an interesting journey to say the least.
Bite Club
Complete Comic Series (272 pgs)
Written by. Howard Chaykin & David Tischman
Art by. David Hahn
Absolutely loved the first half, genius stuff; had me completely hooked from the first page. A very original take on the very old and very often humdrum and generic vampire theme. Quality art and coloring throughout, loved the first 200 pages, thought the end fell a little flat.
The Surrogates
Written by. Robert Venditti
Art by. Brett Weldele
Complete Comic Series (193 pgs)
see Eddie P's feature on it to read more
Brilliant sci-fi story in a world in which 'brilliant' and 'sci fi' don't usually co-exist within the same paragraph anymore. The art is very intriguing, very low key, dark in shade and simplistic, pages almost look like paintined sketches; unlike anything I've come across.
Written by. Jeph Loeb
Art by. Jim Lee & Scott Williams
Part 1 of 2 (128 pgs)
Solid Batman story, nothing groundbreaking so far; still very enjoyable. Apmed for part deux.
