A friend of mine sent me the first several (paper) installments of this very cool oversize comic anthology. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I enjoyed them so much I ordered the hardcover compilation of the first several issues. Way oversize and way groovy. Okay, so I didn’t dig the Wonder Woman page, but most of the rest of the stuff was very entertaining and very well-rendered artistically. The darn thing is so big you can get lost in here. You get stuff like this: ADAM STRANGE written and illustrated by Paul Pope; BATMAN written by Brian Azzarello with art by Eduardo Risso including additional panel art on each page!; METAMORPHO written by Neil Gaiman with art by Michael Allred; DEADMAN written by Dave Bullock and Vinton Heuck with art by Dave Bullock; THE DEMON AND CATWOMAN written by Walter Simonson with art by Brian Stelfreeze; THE FLASH written by Karl Kerschl and Brenden Fletcher with art by Karl Kerschl; GREEN LANTERN written by Kurt Busiek with art by Joe Quinones; HAWKMAN written and illustrated by Kyle Baker; KAMANDI written by Dave Gibbons with art by Ryan Sook; THE METAL MEN written by Dan DiDio with art by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and Kevin Nowlan; SGT. ROCK written by Adam Kubert with art by Joe Kubert; SUPERGIRL written by Jimmy Palmiotti with art by Amanda Conner; SUPERMAN written by John Arcudi with art by Lee Bermejo; TEEN TITANS written by Eddie Berganza with art by Sean Galloway; WONDER WOMAN written and illustrated by Ben Caldwell. If you only need/want a few examples of contemporary comic art on the shelves - this will satisfy. . . that is if you have shelves with enough space to accommodate this sucker.   #44022
