By Gaiman's own admission there's a lot in this first collection that is awkward and ungainly--which is not to say there are not frequent moments of greatness here. The chapter "24 Hours" is worth the price of the book alone; it stands as one of the most chilling examples of horror in comics. And let's not underestimate Gaiman's achievement of personifying Death as a perky, overly cheery, cute goth girl! All in all, I greatly prefer the roguish breaking of new ground in this book to the often dull precision of the concluding volumes of the Sandman series. --Jim Pascoe

In PRELUDES & NOCTURNES, an occultist attempting to capture Death to bargain for eternal life traps her younger brother Dream instead. After his 70 year imprisonment and eventual escape, Dream, also known as Morpheus, goes on a quest for his lost objects of power. On his arduous journey Morpheus encounters Lucifer, John Constantine, and an all-powerful madman. This book also includes the story "The Sound of Her Wings," which introduces us to the pragmatic and perky goth girl Death.

Now, he brings that vision to Batman in a story that pits the Dark Knight against the Joker -- all under the unforgiving eye of the media.

Their confrontation is caught on film, and Gotham City's protector appears to pummel his archenemy without mercy. The Joker uses this to frame Batman in the court of public opinion while the media hover like vultures, ready to convict before all the facts are in.

Long ago, Wolverine was trained as a samurai in Japan; later, he became Weapon X, a covert operative for the Canadian government. Today, Logan is an X-Man—using his animal-keen senses, accelerated healing factor and razor-sharp claws to help protect a world that fears and hates mutants.

The other may be the most powerful man-like creature ever to walk the Earth.

Caught in the heart of a nuclear explosion, victim of gamma radiation gone wild, Dr. Robert Bruce Banner undergoes a hideous metamorphosis during times of stress—unleashing the dark personification of the bookish scientist’s repressed rage and fury.

And then there’s Po—the extraordinary little girl whose impossible quest has drawn these two disparate individuals together.

Expect the unexpected as master writer/artist Sam Kieth (The Maxx, Wolverine: Blood Hungry) returns to Marvel! Collecting Wolverine/Hulk #1-4.

Their mission was deceptively simple — in one way or another, each story must work with the theme of happy endings. While some chose to go with a straightforward, literal interpretation, others really let the creative juice flow and played fast, loose, and liberally with the idea. Regardless of the approach, every creator involved poured their heart and soul into their work, and the results are astounding. Best of all, the book itself is even bigger and badder than before. Coming in at a hefty 96 pages and packaged in the very appealing 6"x9" format, Happy Endings continues a solid annual tradition. In the process, Dark Horse Maverick looks once again to not only outdo itself, but to also raise the bar by which all other anthologies are measured!]]> 10182 4.04 11880 879 13359 4.30 11165 668 2002 3234618 0930289919 9780930289911 0 <![CDATA[Epicurus the Sage: The Many Loves of Zeus: 002]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3234618.Epicurus_the_Sage_The_Many_Loves_of_Zeus_002 3.67 3 89376 3.97 299 20 13359 4.30 11165 668 1991 287307 1932382003 9781932382006 0 <![CDATA[Art of Sam Kieth]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173422876m/287307.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173422876s/287307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/287307.Art_of_Sam_Kieth 5.00 2 13359 4.30 11165 668 2003 1084998 1569711909 9781569711903 0 <![CDATA[Aliens: Female War]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180856709m/1084998.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180856709s/1084998.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1084998.Aliens_Female_War 4.00 2 12278 3.33 436 38 13359 4.30 11165 668 1996 7201603 143528139X 9781435281394 0 <![CDATA[Lucifer]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7201603-lucifer 5.00 1 9018 3.86 7640 784 10762 3.96 1704 68 13359 4.30 11165 668 1221698 4.13 285081 26426 7271 4.40 25164 885 2008 787089 1888669101 0 <![CDATA[The Uncanny Dave Cockrum: A Tribute]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1246220326m/787089.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1246220326s/787089.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/787089.The_Uncanny_Dave_Cockrum_A_Tribute 5.00 1
