fantastic!,
By
This review is from: Marvels (Paperback)
for a novice like myself, this is the first graphgic novel that i have ever bought and i was so impressed i bought another one! the narration is fantastic and the pace reflects the images brilliantly. the attention to detail and the texture of the images blending so fluidly amongst each other is an added bonus-i fell in love after the first couple of pages jsut with the layout, colours etc. only problem is that if you don't know all of the characters or their development then you do come a bit stuck as it spans the life of Marvel (i think) from WW2 to the 80s. also as it is done in the perspective of the spectator, new ideologies are formed and it is an interesting interaction.
great novel with great visual companion-a must buy!

Brilliant and realistic interpretation of the Marvel history,
By matt@skyre.freeserve.co.uk (West Midlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Marvels (Paperback)
This is a great book for marvel fans used to the various references to its backhistory and the interlinking of themes between it's various characters and groups. Busiek and Ross craft a great history following the development of Marvels comics, and a fascinating story to boot covering all sorts of ideas. The main thing is that they make the superheroes seem real - and realistic - quite an accomplishment.And Ross's artwork is second to none

Marvellous marvels,
By
This review is from: Marvels Premiere HC (Hardcover)
Being fan of Alex Ross, this buy was a no brainer, and this edition was an extra bonus.
This was Alex's earliest work in this genre, and it doesn't go un noticed, but he still manages to bring the characters to life and put them into the `real' world. Combined with Busiek's writing, this really delivers the goods, and in such a clever way. The story is told from the point of view of a photographic journalist who witnessed the first ever sighting of these extraordinary folk `back in the day' and despite what he or society feels, about them, "are they friends or foes?" documents their appearances through the years .. Here is an eye witness account of those stories as they intertwine with each other through the eyes of one man. The cover and hard back packaging, as well as the `extra features' - Ross's designs, principle drawings and insight into his techniques really make this a show piece for anyone's collection.
