Batman The Doom that Came to Gotham Comic Book

If the Batman hopes to end the horror, how terrible must Bruce Wayne become?

DC The New Frontier Part 1 Comic Book

¥165.00

DC The New Frontier Part 1 Comic Book

New Frontier reinvasions the superheroes DC Comics launched in the late 1950s by placing them firmly in the Cold War milieu that seldom surfaced in the original stories. The results could be ponderous but aren't, thanks to author-artist Cooke, who freshly reimagines the earliest exploits of such hoary heroes as the Flash and Green Lantern, and offers compellingly unorthodox versions of some venerable superstars: he portrays Superman, for instance, as a smug government lapdog. Cooke's intelligently retro art style is perfectly suited to the task at hand. Its cartoonish simplicity, though unfashionable among today's detail-obsessed comics fans, possesses nearly matchless elegance and dynamism. Especially effective is his reliance on rectilinear panels that convey the sweep of 1950s widescreen movies. Despite its decades-old setting, New Frontier is the most exciting recent superhero comic, and testimony to the enduring power of DC's iconic heroes. It's complex enough to captivate current comics fans yet compelling for nostalgic boomers who grew up with these characters. This book's story will be concluded in volume 2. Gordon Flagg Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

Green Lantern Secret Origin Comic Book

From Publishers Weekly
Hal Jordan, Green Lantern 2814.1, has had a rough time. He's been mind-controlled into supervillainy, killed, brought back as a spirit of vengeance and miraculously returned to sanity and superpowers. Unsurprisingly, new readers find it confusing. Now Booster Gold writer Johns has gone back to the beginning for a flashback explaining who Hal Jordan is and why we should care. A hardy, brash sort of hero, undeterred by constant danger and heartbreak, Hal won't let anything stop him from piloting. One day he stumbles upon what he assumes is a crashed plane, only to find it is the ship of a dying alien. Recruited into the Green Lantern Corps of galactic police as the dead being's replacement, in quick succession, Hall is issued with a superpowered Green Lantern ring and shipped off to the planet Oa for training. Rather than beginning his heroic career as the golden boy of the corps, Hal instead immediately starts questioning his more powerful and experienced superiors and bonds with future supervillain Sinestro. Johns gets across what makes Jordan unusual for a superhero—he's more of a lucky choice than a destined hero. The clean, expressive art by Reis and Albert captures the heedless, fearless Hal perfectly in a story that isn't horribly daunting for newcomers. (Dec.)

Grade 9 Up–This is the story of how Hal Jordan became the Green Lantern; or rather, how Hal Jordan became Hal Jordan. Stemming from a childhood trauma, he shuts off his family and his emotions. His only focus is using his airplane to push the limits. He&'s cocky, reckless, and fearless. A second tragedy drives him to sabotage his job and return home where he works as a lowly mechanic. When an alien spaceship crash-lands on the airfield, Jordan is set up to meet his fate. He&'s summoned, against his will, to be a Green Lantern. The plot moves quickly, but enough time is given to revealing character motivations and flaws. Although the protagonist is not always likable, he is honorable and ultimately realizes what he must overcome. The best part of &Green Lantern& comics, the color, is on full display. The alien powers literally light up the page. The human beings are the main players, but there are plenty of strange aliens to gawk at–even a chipmunk Green Lantern. This story sets up future story lines, but no prior knowledge of the Green Lantern mythology is needed to enjoy it. Unfortunately, there&'s no answer to the burning question: What&'s with the yellow immunity?–Sadie Mattox, DeKalb County Public Library, Decatur, GA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

The fifth Jack of Fables collection first delves into Jack’s past as a Wild West outlaw whose gang is the terror of the frontier. Bigby Wolf arrives from Fables to bring Jack to justice and back to Fabletown. The rest of the book tells the origin stories of the three Page sisters, JoF regulars: Robin, always in control, except when it comes to a certain dashing hero; awkward, underconfident Priscilla; and secret Fables-lover Hillary. The humor is more subdued here, with the highest hilarity coming in single-page interludes featuring Babe the blue mini-ox, though overall quality remains high as writer Willingham and artist Matthew Sturges continue to conceive wonderful tales. --Tina Coleman

JLA Act of God Comic Book

JLA: Act of God is a three issue limited series published by DC Comics under the Elseworlds banner in 2000. It is written by Doug Moench and illustrated by Dave Ross. The story is a psychological look at what could happen to many superheroes if their powers were taken away by an unseen natural event, and has them pondering whether it is right for them to have powers in the first place. Their powers gone, their lives irrevocably changed, the once super-powered heroes of Earth struggle to retain their grasps on life, love, and in some cases, even sanity. But while the JLA members confront their personal demons, the villain known as Lex Luthor reigns as strong as ever, and is threatening not only all of "normal" humanity, but the seemingly helpless heroes as well.
