As with his Joker graphic novel, Azzarello tells a story from the iconic villain's point of view, and while this one wasn't as twisted, his take on Lex Luthor was still pretty awesome. You really get an understanding of how Lex doesn't buy the Superman image, that he's a hero for America. He sees him as an alien threat, that shouldn't be trusted completely. The artwork is awesome (I love how Lee Bermejo makes Superman look so menacing!), and while I didn't fully get the relationship between Batman & Superman, getting a cameo from the Dark Knight was cool too. ]]>
One of the best Presidential biographies I've read - Ellis gets to the point, covering all the major events in Washington's life, and keeping a good blend of personal and political stuff. Washington was a fascinating guy. He knew his place in history and did everything he could to maintain the "above the fray", regal stature. Right now the thing that stands out (only because it was mentioned towards the end of the book) is a fun fact - Washington had a nephew named Bushrod. That is the weirdest name ever, but cool. Anyway, back to the book. Ellis does a great job of writing about our first President's life. He (Washington, that is) seemed to be able to predict how our budding nation would end up, and knew what needed to be done for it to happen. Really interesting stuff. ]]>
