by Hugo Wilcken

my rating:

read in January, 2007

MIke said: "The most in depth description of Bowie's mid-70's experimentation, it details his drug induced paranoia during "Station to Station" and the subsequent reinvention and collaboration with Eno and producer Tony Visconti. Must read for any ser...more "

Seaguy (Paperback)
by Grant Morrison

my rating:

MIke said: "It's like someone took all the deeper aspects of Morrisons work and retained their visage, but not their works. It's all facade, but a fun facade non the less. "

Batman: Gothic (Paperback)
by Grant Morrison, Klaus Janson

my rating:

MIke said: "A better than average Batman story, but nowhere near the task of following up from "Arkham Asylum." "

All Star Superman: Volume 01 (All Star)
by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely

my rating:

We3 (Paperback)
by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely

my rating:

MIke said: "Forget "...Dark Knight," "The Killing Joke" and "Year One," this is the greatest Batman story ever told. Morrison weaves a tale of symbols that plays out in a crawl from the depth of Hell to the brink of salvation and v...more "

The Invisibles Vol. 7: The Invisible Kingdom (Paperback)
by Grant Morrison

my rating:

MIke said: "I'll write this review for all volumes.

"The Invisibles" is 1960's psychedelia wrapped in modern clothing and wrung through every magickal wringer Grant Morrison could reach. Aliens that may or may not be, conspiracies that loop around ...more "
