Review: DC Comics: The Art of Jim Lee Vol. 1

DC Comics: The Art of Jim Lee Vol. 1 by Jim Lee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Wrong format

If you really want to get the best out of reading this book the digital format is not the way to go. If you are able to read the large physical print format do that instead. That is a better way to experience the art of this art book. There's no story here, it's a sketch book with some retrospective information within it. If you really want to deep dive into Jim Lees work and life this isn't the best way to do it. Keep in mind there's none of his Marvel work in here so enjoy his DC work and then look to spend money on his Marvel works. It's still a nice view but not a great read.

Review: Space Ghost

Space Ghost by Joe Kelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

More than coast to coast

This is the hardcore origin story of Space Ghost. Take out any comedy or kiddie views on why a man would choose to be a ghost. The chase for justice starts with a need for vengeance for him. From there we see the start of what could have been really fun. This is a one off so you can get in and be done with just this book. I think more of this could have been great but this is still a solid story for a ghost.

Review: Teen Titans: The Silver Age Vol. 2

Teen Titans: The Silver Age Vol. 2 by Bob Haney
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Decent closeout

While not as fun as volume 1 it's still a nice read. You can move onto the other Titan books knowing the original run ended like this.

Review: Teen Titans: The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 1

Teen Titans: The Silver Age Omnibus Vol. 1 by Bob Haney
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Go, Go, Go Titans

If you're use to Teen Titans Go! this is a 1960s version of that type of story telling. I'm a Teen Titans fan so reading this was good to me. It's not for everyone but if you don't mind some dialogue that is outdated there's still a good group of stories in this book.

Review: Avengers: The Enemy Within

Avengers: The Enemy Within by Kelly Sue DeConnick
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

It’s more Carol Danvers has a headache

The book is more Captain Marvel than it is an Avengers book. It tries to establish that she has villains who are able to defeat her but they actually come across as generic. The art doesn’t work as the different artists are either poor or the shift from one to another is distracting. Overall this is a force your way through kind of book.

Review: Camelot 3000

Camelot 3000 by Mike W. Barr
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A comic that actually blends high fantasy and space opera well. This is the book that got it right. So there's sword and laser guns and it all makes sense. If you don't think King Arthur in space can work this comic proves you wrong. It's a book that was actually ahead of its time when it was released. The themes in it are very adult for a comic book about King Arthur. I think this comic fits in today which is something that very few comics can do.
