Review Batman: The Dark Knight Returns / DC Comics:If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller-known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil-is probably the top contender. Batman represented all that was wrong in comics and Miller set himself a tough task taking on the camp crusader and turning this laughable, innocuous children's cartoon character into a hero for our times. The great Alan Moore (V for Vendetta, Swamp Thing, the arguably peerless Watchmen) argued that only someone of Miller's stature could have done this. Batman is a character known well beyond the confines of the comic world (as are his retinue) and so reinventing him, while keeping his limiting core essentials intact, was a huge task. Miller went far beyond the call of duty. The Dark Knight is a success on every level. Firstly it does keep the core elements of the Batman myth intact, with Robin, Alfred the butler, Commissioner Gordon, and the old roster of villains, present yet brilliantly subverted. Secondly the artwork is fantastic-detailed, sometimes claustrophobic, psychotic. Lastly it's a great story: Gotham City is a hell on earth, street gangs roam but there are no heroes. Decay is ubiquitous. [+]
Where is a hero to save Gotham? It is 10 years since the last recorded sighting of the Batman. And things have got worse than ever. Bruce Wayne is close to being a broken man but something is keeping him sane: the need to see change and the belief that he can orchestrate some of that change. Batman is back. The Dark Knight has returned. Awesome. -Mark Thwaite If any comic has a claim to have truly reinvigorated the genre, then The Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller-known also for his excellent Sin City series and his superb rendering of the blind superhero Daredevil-is probably the top contender.

Review Invisible People / Kitchen Sink Pr (Nrt):An extraordinary and classic graphic novel celebrating the Big Apple, from the master of American comics art. With an unparalleled eye for stories and expressive illustration, Will Eisner, the master and pioneer of American comics art, presents one of his renowned celebrations of the Big Apple. No illustrator evoked the melancholy duskiness of New York City as expressively as Eisner, who knew the city from the bottom up. Invisible People is a haunting trio of stories about life's forgotten shut-ins in the tradition of Kafka, Gogol, and Melville.
