    Crecy is my favourite thing from Ellis. I'm really in to that time period and further back anyway but it really is an exceptional short graphic novel. I think you probably have to be English or...

    Don't get me wrong, definitely not ideal.

    Depending on price it's probably the only way I'll ever read Death Note because I don't have much interest in it but the chance to own a complete series...

    It's like three Lone Wolf omnibuses in one. I think it'd be alright. Probably last longer than a DC omnibus too!

    The Dark Horse volumes just seemed to have a special feeling about the stories that held it all together that the slipcase set didn't for me. It's hard to describe.

    And other than one story (Samurai, I think it was called) is not worth having. I wasn't even glad to have read the original stories in that set compared to how much I enjoyed the first three Saga...

    Each to their own but after about 11 issues Hawkeye seems like nothing more than cheap novelties to me. Iron Fist has a cohesive, great story that expands a whole new area of the Marvel universe. I...

    First volume was great. Obviously nothing will compare to the original series but it doesn't try to compete. It's just telling a story in that world with that character without any pretence.

    I don't think it sounds weird. It's supposed to be a kind of dark comedy. If everything is shied away from you wouldn't get things like the story with the man hiring Torpedo to kill his ex-girlfriend...

    I've only read the first volume but Torpedo is great. It's a free for all as far as humour and doesn't shy away from anything good or bad.

    Awesome. Haven't been buying Marvel for a while so am out of the loop. Shame they couldn't just collect 7-35 and be done with it though unless the solicitation on Amazon is wrong.

    Wait until you finish book 2 before ordering any more. Opinion varies of course but book 1 is especially good and the first half of book 2 is fun but then the usual Fraction decline kicks in hard....
