Desperate, masturbatory nonsense
| Customer Rating: | | I was extremely disappointed with this twaddle. Perhaps if I was 12 years old I would have enjoyed it. Its not the pornographic nature of the story and senseless violence - I'm definitely no prude, but all the characters were zero dimensional. I didn't care what happened to them. Shame, as I heard a lot of good things about Mark Millar. (I hope) this was an attempt by him to write something mass market - clearly successfully, but at the expense of a story, taste, interesting characters, exciting fight scenes - and an all important decent ending. I found absolutely no re-read potential in this whatsoever. This was probably a short story at best. |
Disappointing
| Customer Rating: | | I was looking forward to reading this and I haven't yet seen the film but I was left very let down. The story is intriguing and the artwork is excellent and I get the point of the story ( wishing you were someone else/somewhere else etc ) but at the end of the story the characters are very one-dimensional, you don't really care for them and whether they succeed or fail. The story is pretty hollow and it just never really goes anywhere. Shame. |
Above standard artwork .... Sub-par and weak storyline
| Customer Rating: | The book comes as a bit of a surprise as it's the artwork that is exceptional and the story is what lets it down. Additionally the book or rather the story finishes 3/4 of the way through. The rest of the book is editors commentary , artwork, snapshots, synopsis of various things. In other words it's bulked out :(

how to be a super villain
| Customer Rating: | A collected edition of a comic mini series [telling a complete story over six issues] about wesley gibson. an average man leading a downtrodden life wesley thinks he should be doing far more. his life is turned upside down one day when a lady reveals to him that he is the son of a supervillain, and that a group of them secretly rule the world. Wesley gets the chance to follow in his late father's footsteps and become far more in control of his life than before. but will other supervillains let him live happily ever after?
And just who did kill his father?
This comic is strictly for adults only, language violence and the like making it such. And as a result it is not for the easily offended.
But it's never as gratuituous as it could be. the point of is not about wesley getting to be bad, it's about him taking control of his life. and the book does gets this point over well. It's a hugely entertaining read, thanks to great characterisation and plotting, and it does make you think.
The artwork from JG Jones is superb.
The collection also contains the wanted dossier, a one off comic originally published separately. this shows a lot of the covers and original art from the series and design for the characters and the like. this section is an interesting read, showing how it was all put together.
A good read. a real guilty pleasure
