The Silver Surfer by Dan Slott and Mike Allred

Last night I finished the fifth and final trade collection of Slott and Allred's Silver Surfer run.

All my versions were read on my Kindle and I didn't mind one bit reading the digital version.

Loved the series too. A satisfactory conclusion at the end was cleverly scripted. Great job all round.

The Great Lakes Avengers

The Great Lakes Avengers debuted in West Coast Avengers #46 which is a cracking issue by John Byrne.

Actually reading this issue made me want to read the rest of his run even though he's not very kind to the Vision and the Scarlet Witch.

Anyway Dan Slott took this odd bunch of characters and wrote a 4 issue mini-series where they actually save the world but not without suffering a few casualties along the way. This was one of Slott's more humour orientated books but the drama works to.

I'd picked this up having had it recommended on the greatest Dan Slott stories ever told last May pretty cheap. It was well worth it.

Added to My collection: Great Lakes Avengers

Picked up all 4 issues of this mini mega cheap from ebay (£2.20). The trade is out of print and hence copies are rare and expensive so I was ecstatic to pick this up for such a price!

Another of the Greatest Dan Slott stories acquired!

Arkham Asylum: Living Hell

I read this during the week and was diappointed that I didn't enjoy it as much as I hoped. It was the art that let this story down. After the crisp and clean work of Amanda Conner recently, the art by Ryan Sook looked poor. And, as is often the case with ccomics, if the art doesn't cut the mustard then the story suffers.

Oh well. You win some and lose some.

New Batman Trades

 I've purchased a couple of Batman trades this week.

Arkham Asylum Living Hell is written by Dan Slott who is a favourtite of mine and this particular story came 2nd in the Greatest Dan Slott Stories ever told on CBR. As it was so highly recommended I had to get it!

I've also been wanting more comics based on Batman the Animated series. There was some in the Mad Love collection but I was chuffed to get this for 1p(!!!!) plus £2.80 P&P from Amazon Marketplace. It's used but in perfectly readable condition.
