Okay, Planetary gets better and better, this is a highly recommended series to any comic book fan, you will get here a smart and respectful tribute to almost all comic book genres, pulp, western, monsters, super-heroes, along with creative use of known characters from classic literature and even ...
Originally a free webcomic that was released every Friday, this collects the first 24 issues. Twelve children were born in England at exactly the same moment. They exhibit psychic abilities at varying degrees. Six years ago, the world ended in an undisclosed cataclysm that has left civilization i...
didn't like this quite so much as the first vol, but that's often the way when a setting or idea is very shiny. plus a lot of this takes place at night, which kind of has the effect of Dogville, high-concept but visually unengaging. but the characters and story are great (surprising optimistic in...
Would I enjoy Warren Ellis’ Astonishing X-Men: Ghost more if it weren’t an X-Men story? Yes. And not only because he takes characters I’m familiar with in directions that don’t seem consistent with their histories.The X-Men here are as savage as I’ve seen them. The team, composed of Cyclops, Emma...
I tried to go into Ghost Box with low expectations. I knew that it just couldn't live up to Joss Whedon's consistently entertaining run, and the artwork wasn't going to be like John Cassaday's. Still, Ghost Box left me feeling disappointed, not just because it's not as good as the first four volu...
An interesting and somewhat surprising end to an excellent comic series. Planetary viimane osa, selguvad kõik saladused ja leiab aset võitlus Neljaga. Väga hea.
toujours plus d'explications, mais y en a-t-il jamais assez dans Planetary ? So effing good it hurts. I'm sincerely disappointed that it is over.
"The best non-zombie post-apocalyptic coming-of-age-story I've read all year." This is why I suck at blurbs. It's also the reason I'm entering a hyphen-addiction program. Simply said, I loved this series. Why? 1. It started quickly and managed to do the near-impossible: namely, introduce twelve m...
Started reading the archives for this online after reading Patrick Rothfuss's comment that the author may unseat Joss Whedon for the Witty Dialogue Throne. I do love the individuality of the characters and the interesting post-apocalyptic slant. The language is a bit rough for my taste, but it se...
I started this series, not sure whether I'd want to continue; And for awhile, I didn't, thinking the story wasn't going anywhere fast, but the characters stuck with me even during my hiatus from reading it, during which time I started reading other online comics. In the end though, I continued re...
Il concept del supereroe-Dio creato in laboratorio con diverse caratteristiche a seconda dei Paesi che lo hanno generato è interessante, così come le divinità ideate dall'autore. Peccato che Alan Moore abbia creato nel 1988 un certo Dr. Manhattan, e che quindi queste siano delle - pur affascinant...
Dead Pig Collector by British author Warren Ellis is a horror genre short story with a Gothic feel. What I noticed immediately is a an undertone of rage, a male point of view and a bitter lyrical quality. The Protagonist, Mister Sun, really turns out to be the Antagonist who has a job to do. Unfo...
Nextwave are Monica Rambeau (once Captain Marvel), Aaron Stack (once Machine Man), Tabitha Smith (once Boom Boom), Elsa Bloodstone (daughter of Ulysses Bloodstone), and The Captain (The Captain). They have silly adventures together while running from, and trying to stop the nefarious plans of, an...
I don't generally bother with the x-men, not from any active dislike but due to the fact that 90% of the genre are more or less boring superhero soap operas. The only exception is when i have a great regard for the creative team, such as Grant Morrison and Frank Quietly's New X-men run. So the ...
Alternate-history graphic novel in which, by the 1950s, man has already been to space and fought Martians, but now space travel is being banned country by country, and Earth’s space heroes are stuck in Ignition City, a spaceport island that’s devolved into a semi-lawless shithole. That’s the back...
Ellis has a go at classic steampunk. It feels a bit too crammed, but I think the problem with this work lies in its length, not in the content. Besides, if Ellis leaves something unresolved, I assume it was done on purpose. The morale being, this is good steampunk & great fun. Excellent drawings ...
No estoy benevolente y se esta notando en mis opiniones últimamente. La ultima victima de mi amargura va ser el señor Spektor, o Warren Ellis, para el caso es lo mismo. No me he quedado todo a lo gusto que esperaba quedarme tras abrir un tomo del Warren Ellis dando rienda suelta al Caballero Luna...
It is every telling how the issue description stated that this is "Beginning a new science fiction graphic novel..." Aside from the fact that literate comicbooks would only describe themselves as "graphic novels", the description pretty much explains the lack of the first issue satisfaction I nor...
A REVIEW IN THE FORM OF A LIST OF BRITISHISMS IN WARREN ELLIS'S CROOKED LITTLE VEIN:Page 3: "Called" instead of "named." [This, page 3, is when I thought to myself, "Oh maybe the author is British" and did a quick google to confirm. "Silly Warren Ellis," I thought, "Here in America we say people ...
Or, at least, one of the Blarney Stones. At any given time there seemed to be at least four bars in the Five Boroughs called the Blarney Stone. This one, possibly the most greasily plastic Irish bar of them all, had been sold a couple of years ago. The new owners wanted to retain the PVC Irishnes...
