Kiss: Volume 3 - Men and Monsters

by Scott Lobdell, Mike Baron, Mel Rubi

On the hard streets of New York, there are dangers lurking around every corner-often poised to strike at the most innocent of victims. Then there are the dangers we can't even see, those from worlds and dimensions we know nothing about. Extreme dangers call for extreme heroes, and world-famous rock band-turned-super-heroes KISS are here to answer the call! Immerse yourself in a world where your greatest fears and deepest fantasies come to life, where you fight alongside Mr. Speed and Christine 16, and where monsters are real - but the heroes are real kick-ass!

Reviews

[Dave · Rating 2 out of 5]

Did not read previous 2 volumes. Quick read. Definitely slanted towards Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley as main team members and driving force. Peter Criss is represented as a goofball who either wants to fight or ask dumb questions about getting paid. Ace Frehley represented as a "sometimes" team member who floats on their perimeter and shows up to help whenever he feels like it. Sounds like exactly how Gene has described behavior of these two as band members in past interviews. Then I see Gene's endorsement i.e. signature, at end of the book. Feels like he wants to piss these two off without having to write another whole book.
