This is an off-shoot series from the Incal that tells the history of the Metabaron dynasty, how they became enormously wealthy, how their family nearly died out, and about the main character's struggles to rear a strong son to carry on their line.

I thought it was cool actually, I enjoyed it, didn't pull any punches and was quite unique (its kinda' reminiscent of Dune).

A new superhero team is formed to deal with global threats, they have a teleport bridge that allows them to get anywhere in the world in seconds, it helps them deal with a lot of carnage and destruction from various mass-murdering threats.

Eh it was ok I guess, I'd actually read the first few issues of this before and it never really caught my imagination, there just doesn't seem like much time is given to explore the characters or build up their personalities, maybe I should've read Stormwatch first.

I probably sound a bit down on it, but tbh it was pretty good, lots of action and such, some memorable set-pieces, good dialogue. I just think books like this probably benefited a lot from Miracleman and Zenith being out of print for so long, I also think maybe Mark Millar's Ultimates was influenced a lot by this so it probably didn't help that I read that before getting around to checking this out.

This is a science fiction book about Earth being brought into like a big federation of different Alien species, unfortunately shortly afterwards a far-right isolationist group get into office and we end up misusing all of the alien tech we've been given and use it to take over other worlds, the federation steps in after Earth has killed many Aliens and dissolves the Earth government and replaces it with their own choices. The book is set way after this has happened with the main character being made the first Human space policeman, part of a group that polices the universe. Because of Earth's previous attacks he is viewed with distrust by his Alien colleagues.

I liked it, there was a nice amount of world-building, the character designs are memorable and some of the Alien (not heavy-handed) politics was interesting, I guess if I was to compare it to something it would be Star Wars and Babylon 5.

This book is a true story about the lives of the author's parents. It starts with them meeting, follows through them marrying and having children and then proceeds through World War II, with them having to deal with evacuating their son, as well as bombings and the death's of some of their acquaintances. It shows the changes of the era's and opinions, growth of their son, and their eventual death's.

It probably looks like a pretty boring book, but I actually liked it a lot, its by Raymond Briggs, who also created the old "Snowman" (walking in the air) cartoon that is played in the UK every Christmas, as well as the uber depressing "When the Wind Blows"

It was quite funny, touching, and interesting as it showed the changes that England went through during the 20th Century.

Haven't posted here in a while. Read JLA New World Order, read JLA: Rock of Ages, read X-Force Dark Angel saga, read the first 18 issues of Wolfman/Perez Teen Titans, read the first collection of Hitman, and read the first 9 issues of Ostrander Suicide Squad.

I found Teen Titans quite likeable, nice artwork (I was only familiar with Judas Contract and the cartoon before). Hitman is very cool but I don't like the artwork much, Grant Morrison's Justice League has been fairly good for the most part. Others were okay.

An Android is on the run and a team of Cyborg's are hunting her whilst the police try to work out what is going on.

Only two issues in at the moment, pretty reasonable so far, fairly optimistic that this will be good.

A soldier is experimented on in a kind of possession ritual, it results in him becoming a forever young Captain America analogue.

Did not like this much, the structure was all over the place and the plot felt like it was written by someone with ADHD, it just jumped from one scene to the next with little explanation and no exploration of each scenario, there was next to zero character work.

This was very different to the movie, the basic premise was the same but plot was not really that similar.

A new weapon of mass destruction is used that ends up destroying the worlds ecosystem, it turns the world into a giant icebox that cannot sustain life. The only people able to survive are those on board a state-of the-art self-sufficient train that has a perpetual-motion engine. Each carriage of the train is separated by class, with the upper class "haves" at the front with all the luxuries and best quality food, and the "have not's" mistreated at the back starving to death with next to nothing. The protagonist manages to break into the forward carriages of the train and meets a humanitarian woman, they learn that there's a plot to unhook the back carriages.

I liked it well enough, though I found the film a bit more interesting (albeit the film is also more muddled IMO).

This was a biographical comic about a woman who grew up in Iran during the revolution and subsequent war with Iraq. She moves to study in Vienna for a short period where she has some culture shock before returning to Iran to get married.

Its an interesting book, quite similar in a lot of ways to Maus IMO and is definitely worth reading, though I did find the main character to be a bit narcissistic and judgemental at times, she has a habit of getting other people into trouble (I'm probably exaggerating a bit lol).

It lost some steam by the end.
