This had an exceedingly unexpected emotional wallop for me. I casually picked up the original softcover comics expecting a relatively pedestrian tale, but was amazed to find at the conclusion of the fourth and final chapter that my tear ducts had suddenly and without proper authorization, opened and gushed.

Some authors can write tomes of verse, and not evoke half the feeling that the creators of this masterpiece have achieved in roughly 80 or so pages of graphic novel perfection. Such incredible metaphors, and imagery. I'm just completely astonished.

Gooseflesh, some call it goosebumps, what have you. This will give them to you, and then some. Even as type this review, my mind replays the story I begin to well up with feeling. I think the biggest compliment ... Read More

Another largely excellent Ultimate X-Men trade paperback, collecting the twelve issues in the 2nd year of Mark Millar's take on Marvel's premier mutant team and also featuring a bonus story by Chuck Austen featuring X-Men fave Gambit. The first story arc, `World Tour' has the X-Men up against Xavier's teenage son Legion, who has uncontrollable reality-warping powers and is angry at Xavier for leaving him and his mother - Moira MacTaggert - some years before to set up the X-Men. Legion is a very dangerous and unstable mutant, who does not hesitate to kill and whose aim is to destroy everything that Xavier and his dream stands for - a plan which involves wiping out several of the world's major cities. Will Xavier's X-Men be prepared to use lethal force to stop the insane Legion, in defiance of Xavier's ... Read More

This story takes place at some unknown time solely in Asgard. Thors "Midgard friends" are mentioned but never appear. Loki has defeated and captured Thor and the other Asgardian heroes with the help of a number of allies. The story focuses on the aftermath of his victory as he finds it difficult to consolidate his power and satisfy the demands of his allies. His greatest problem is what to do with the fallen heroes including his half brother Thor.

What makes this series so intriguing (and why it'd be great to get a sequel) is that there's some slight revisionism to the traditional Thor stories as we see thing through Loki's eyes and discover that he's been a victim of certain Asgardians who've mistreated and manipulated him into becoming what he's become. Only Thor is still secretly ... Read More

First off the concept of revealing why Loki is the way he is, is great. Too bad it is executed poorly and goes on forever with not much excitement. The only thing that makes this book mediocre is the amazing artwork. If you are a hardcore fan of Thor I say this is a great addition for you, if not stay away.
