Morrison is a difficult writer to completely comprehend. And I think he can be extraordinarily inconsistent. He wrote some amazing stuff, and he wrote some stuff that just leaves you wondering what just happened. New X-Men, All-Star Superman, various parts of his Batman runs, We3... all those are amazing. Then you get into stuff like Final Crisis and you just have to wonder where that came from. So yeah, Grant Morrison can be great, but he can also be very inconsistent. ]]>

Yeah, I'm from Bristol and I always loved Dearleap Books. It was small, but amazing.
Monroe Street Books just north of Middlebury has a good selection. It is a rare and used books place. A bit pricey at times, but still a decent shop. ]]>

A surprisingly good book, this is a fascinating tale of Superman and his significance on the world. With the apparent explanation of Superman's origins in the shooting of Jerry Siegel's father for what is apparently a secret given to Cain by God. When Calvin Harper finds his father is shot by the same gun that killed Mitchell Siegel. What follows is a tale betrayal and biblical implications as he searches for the truth about Cain and Abel. Despite a regular shift back and forth from first and third person, this book reads fairly well. A thriller, this book takes the history behind one of the world's most recognized icons and fills in some gaps to give a great adventure. ]]>
