DC Comics, 2009
It's been a while since I read a comic that's this much fun. With a master comic storyteller like Kevin Maguire who's working off a great script by Nicieza, you can't go wrong. Monday, December 28, 2009

Just a Pilgrim
by Garth Ennis & Carlos Ezquerra
First published in 2001 following his stint on Preacher, Just a Pilgrim is not for the faint hearted. Some may find the content difficult to accept or like. But just when I thought the story was beginning to become too gratuitous, it suddenly surprises me with a sliver of intelligence towards the end that makes me appreciate this tale.

The Brave & the Bold: Without Sin
by Marv Wolfman, David Hine, Phil Winslade & Doug Braithwaite
DC Comics, 2009
Surprised by how much I enjoyed the title cut from this collection. Both tales are essentially traditional super-hero team up stories on a smaller scale, rather than big crossover events . Great art as well!
Avengers/Invaders
by Jim Krueger, Alex Ross & Steve Sadowski
Marvel Comics, 2009
Good old fashion super-hero epic crossover with great art.

Wow. Political intrigue. Great characterization. And an ending that is heart-wrenching. Not for the faint hearted. But what wonderful storytelling.

Roots of the Swamp Thing
by Len Wein, Berni Wrightson & Nestor P. Redondo
Alan Moore's Swamp Thing may have been a definitive take on the character. But it was Len Wein & Berni Wrightson's stories that started it all.

Re-Gifters

Predictable and yet delightfully entertaining story about being young and in love. Would love to see a film adaptation of this.

Superman: Red Son
by Mark Millar, Dave Johnson, Kilian Plunkett, Andrew Robinson & Walden Wong
DC Comics, 2004
The premise is what happens if Superman arrived in the Soviet Union as a baby instead? Millar & Co. play with this premise and cooks up one of the best Superman tales that's filled with lots of drama, action and political intrigue.
