1.		JLA/Avengers (DC and Marvel Comics) from DC Comics Price: $13.59 Customer Review: I thought that the dialogue of the Avengers was very juvenile; it seemed that Hawkeye, Cap, and Thor didn't like the idea that the JLA were well respected by their world. Rather than trying to solve their problems and work together like adults (as Scarlet Witch intimates), Thor unleashes a savage... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Marvels from Panini (UK) Ltd. Price: $19.32 Customer Review: Marvels is a comic book classic and rightly so. Combining the excellent writing of Kurt Busiek and the breathtaking painted visuals of Alex Ross, the story takes a look at the Marvel Universe from the common man's perspective. Following the life of a New York City reporter, this graphic novel shows... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		ASTRO CITY: THE DARK AGES, BOOK 1 from WildStorm Price: $19.79 Customer Review: Anyone familiar with Kurt Busiek's Astro City knows there was an ongoing foreshadowing to something that ended up seeing the Silver Agent dead. There is a big statue early on in the series with the caption: "Our Greatest Shame" with the agent staring down obviously distraught. It was tantalizing to... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Conan: Born on the Battlefield (Conan (Graphic Novels)) from Dark Horse Price: $12.21 Customer Review: The "Born on the Battlefield" series is a triumph of comics art both in writing and illustration. Surreal pictures in rich, swirling earth tones accompany epic prose to create an experience that is satisfying and consuming.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Conan Vol. 4: The Hall of the Dead and Other Stories from Dark Horse Price: $12.21 Customer Review: The abrupt departure of writer Kurt Busiek didn't slow the momentum of one of the best comic books on the racks. Mike Mignola deftly handles the creepy "Hall of the Dead" adaptation following a very strong prequel story from Busiek introducing Nestor, the rogue Gunderman. Hall is a a weird story and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Superman: The Third Kryptonian (Superman (Graphic Novels)) from DC Comics Price: $10.19 Customer Review: This book was a bit of a disappointment. Kurt Busiek is one of the best writers in comics today (check out Astro City or Marvels is you don't believe me. This story has the feeling of being phoned in though. It's as if he was handed a storyline from someone else, told to take all the relevence out... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Conan Volume 1: The Frost Giant's Daughter And Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels)) from Dark Horse Price: $10.85 Customer Review: Dark horse have outdid themselves with this outstanding first story arc from their Conan series. The concept of this relaunch is to adapt Robert E. Howard's stories in chronological order while revealing the stories set before and after each, and connecting to the next Robert E. Howard adaptation.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Life in the Big City (Astro City, Vol. 1) from Wildstorm Price: $13.59 Customer Review: Let me start with this: I am not a big comics fanatic. I read some of these bigger collections from time to time for entertainment, but I've never been to a comic book shop, I don't own a Green Lantern shirt and there's no Superman sticker on my car. But, I do know what I like and, for me,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Astro City: Local Heroes from Wildstorm Price: $13.59 Customer Review: All of the Astro City books are worth a read. Well-written, excellently drawn, in a universe separate from DC and Marvel.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Conan Vol. 3: The Tower of the Elephant and Other Stories from Dark Horse Price: $10.85 Customer Review: The Tower of the Elephant continues the great tradition of Dark Horse's Conan relaunch which began in the last two volumes. In this volume, Conan hits his stride as a professional thief and we are treated to three prequel chapters setting up the "Tower of the Elephant" short story from Conan... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Astro City Vol. 2: Confession from Wildstorm Price: $13.59 Customer Review: A young man looks up to the heroes of the city after he arrives, and wants to be like them, or help them if he can. When he bravely and probably foolishly intervenes in a crime, he comes to the attention of the Confessor, a Batman like character. Astro City has a Sunnydale-like suburb, and out... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Conan: The Blood-Stained Crown and Other Stories (Conan (Graphic Novels)) from Dark Horse Price: $10.17 Customer Review: This graphic novel contains six short stories, five of which revolve around the great barbarian Conan the Cimmerian. Now, as might be expected with six stories all illustrated by a different artist, there is a considerable range in style of execution. Overall, I found the tales to be entertaining,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Conan Vol. 2: The God in the Bowl and Other Stories from Dark Horse Price: $15.63 Customer Review: Dark Horse follows up the excellent "Frost Giant's Daughter" with another outstanding adaptation of a Robert Howard Original. Kurt Busiek takes a minor Conan story and builds another epic around it. Although many fans consider Bowl to be a little slow and one of Howard's lesser works, Busiek... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.		Superman: Up, Up and Away (Superman) from Titan Books Ltd Customer Review: through a red sun and this is the story afterwards (I think that is the correct character placement from Infinite Crisis). If you've ever seen and liked Superman 2, the movie from the 80's, then you'll like this story. They are very similar in concept and the character traits that Superman takes on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Astro City Vol. 4: The Tarnished Angel from Wildstorm Price: $13.57 Customer Review: The "Astro City" series of superhero comics (which I prefer to read as graphic novels, eliminating the wait between installments) has varied between Average and Very Good. This arc, which focuses almost entirely on a single antiheroic protagonist, is really quite good. Steeljack, who closely... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		JLA: Syndicate Rules (Book 17) from DC Comics Price: $14.03 Customer Review: I got this book based on a recommendation from a user on this site and boy, that was a big mistake! Basically, this is just a bunch of stories, each about a member of JLA who is facing a personal problem mostly involving the weight of the world on his or her shoulders and not being able to save... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Astro City Vol. 3: Family Album from Wildstorm Price: $13.59 Customer Review: 99% of the people who see the cover of Astro City Family Album think (like I did before I read the comics; I came to it all very late) that the clown on this cover is as evil a villain as Stephen King's It. But he's not; he's arguably Busiek's & Crew's greatest creation: Jack-in-the-Box. His... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Conan: Book Of Thoth (Conan (Graphic Novels)) from Dark Horse Price: $12.21 Customer Review: The personal history of the greatest Priest/Sorcerer of the Hyborian Age. Very well written and a wonderful look at Stygia prior to the ressurection of the Cult of Set. The similarities between a Stygia ruled by Thoth-Amon and set and the various dictatorhips of our own century (Stalinist Russia,... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Superman: Camelot Falls, Vol. 2 from DC Comics Price: $13.59 Customer Review: Camelot is a greta series to put up. I have a friend who hates superman and he cant got enough of this series. so if u r one of those the u would enjoy this book and part one.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Panel One: Comic Book Scripts by Top Writers from About Comics Price: $13.57 Customer Review: ... I'm curious... how many aspiring pencillers out there have picked up this book (or its' sequel) as a source of scripts from which to prepare sample portfolio page layouts?
