![]() You know Roy “Speedy” Harper’s opiate addiction? That was O’Neil and Adams.Īnd everybody knows this image of Batman:īatman running across the beach. They created Ra’s and Talia al Ghul, made the Joker a genuine threat in the brilliant “The Joker’s Five-Way Revenge,” and touched on narcotics use in Green Lantern/Green Arrow. The duo would go on to become one of the most widely acclaimed comics creative teams of all time, spearheading a more mature storytelling style that was decades ahead of its time. Still, he needed a new direction, a fresh aesthetic. The show was successful enough that, along with the editorial gaze of Julius Schwartz, Batman was literally saved from death and became a top-tier character once again. The Batman television series, which revitalized public interest in the character, has been off the air for a few years, and “Batmania” has cooled. I know: let’s rewind the clock to around 1970. ![]() ![]() ![]() Every aspect of the book, from premise to form to cover design (black stylized dog snarling against a solid bloodred field), seems to have been focus-grouped to snag the attention of potential readers. This makes it not only a decisive answer (nay!) to the age-old question “Is long-form monster poetry dead?” but also a perfect marriage of form and subject: Both the werewolf and the verse novel (which lopes across the centuries from Pushkin to Browning to Vikram Seth) are shaggy hybrids that appear once in a blue moon and terrify everyone in sight.Īccording to his back-cover micro-bio, Barlow is the creative director of a large advertising agency-and Sharp Teeth shows signs of having been creatively directed rather than merely written. ![]() Toby Barlow’s first book, Sharp Teeth, is a verse novel about werewolves. Let’s say that you’ve recently polished off your local library’s collection of vampire sonnets, and perhaps even flipped, with a melancholy hand, the final page of your older brother’s three-volume haiku sequence about a marauding colony of Minotaurs-that you’ve exhausted, in other words, the literary exploration of monster subcultures written in obscure forms. ![]() ![]() Percy is a half-blood half-god (his father is Poseidon) and half-human. The fact that he is a Texas author and hails from my home town of San Antonio makes the gloating that much better. Rowling of Harry Potter fame is trying to do it with The Tales of Beetle the Bard (the book is not yet out, so the the jury is still out).īut the best ‘cross-over artist’ I’ve come across so far is Rick Riordan, whose Percy Jackson YA books are just as entertaining as his adult Tres Navarre series. ![]() Stephenie Meyer of the Twilight series tried to move to adult fiction with The Host, which was close to a Stargate clone and not very satisfying Ms. Writing for both the adult and young adult (YA) successfully is difficult, though many authors are trying to cross that gap these days. The Lightning Thief is book one in the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan. ![]() ![]() ![]() I related so strongly to the dark feelings in her, and my heart bled for her every time those feelings took her over. She also harbors a darkness born of severe childhood trauma with which she copes in very unhealthy ways. She was sweet and a little awkward and a lot anxious. It’s a wild mess of angst and confusing forbidden feelings. And to top it all, her other future brother-in-law falls head over heels for her the moment they meet. ![]() Her fiance barely pays her any attention before disappearing. Mafia Wars book 3 follows Dahlia Butcher, daughter of The Firm, an English based mafia, as she travels across the Pond to New York where she is scheduled to marry Lucian Rossi, underboss of the Cosa Nostra.ĭahlia meets and has an instant connection with a gorgeous man on the plane who later turns out to be her soon to be brother-in-law. ![]() ![]() The story jumps around a number of years in the 2000s. The story focuses around a central group of characters connected by a five-star hotel on an island off the coast of British Columbia and a Ponzi scheme led by the hotel’s owner and finance guru, Jonathan Alkaitis. ![]() This type of narrative luckily brought a lot of meaning to the dialogue, otherwise I probably would not have been able to follow the sporadic style jumping back and forth between each character/year. This novel was written in the perspective of a lot of characters connected by the same events… like so many characters I stopped trying to count. “ One of our signature flaws as a species: we will risk almost anything to avoid looking stupid” – Emily St. But after spending some time with this one, I really liked it by the end. I’ve seen a lot of praise for this one, and some mixed reviews as well. I’ve been wanting to read this one for a while, and I finally received a copy after being on a long wait list at my local library. ![]() This has been the longest week, but I made it through with some books and some coffee!

Full of courage and strength she heads up to his valley, rumored to be ridden with lions, she knows she could very well perish, but desperation and fear for her brother keeps her going forward until she makes it to his home…his lair. Isabella is in desperate need to save her brother who has been captured and tortured, and goes to the only Don she knows that is powerful enough to help her. And when the don commanded her to become his bride, she went willingly into his muscled arms, praying she’d save his tortured soul. Then Isabella met a man whose growl was velvet, purring heat, whose eyes held dark, all-consuming desire. She’d even brave the haunted, accursed lair of the lion-the menacing palace of legendary, lethal Don Nicolai DeMarco.The Bargain. Impoverished aristocrat Isabella Vernaducci would defy death itself to rescue her imprisoned brother. ![]() It was whispered he was not wholly human-as untamed as his tawny mane and slashing amber eyes.The Beauty. and that he was doomed to destroy the woman he took as wife. ![]() Rumor said the powerful Nicolai DeMarco could command the heavens, that the beasts below did his bidding.

Don’t get me wrong: Buddy’s solution to his financial woes is buying a dump, and his more sordid past keeps turning up like a bad penny (literal skeletons, as one he thought was buried needed to be re-buried in this volume…twice). There’s a degree of realism in the aging Buddy trying to provide for a family and dealing with other issues of getting older that the ‘90s HATE didn’t have (or need). In the ‘90s version of HATE, Peter Bagge’s stock-in-trade was parodying societal norms through Buddy’s increasingly outlandish misadventures and gaffes.ĭomestic life with Buddy isn’t quite as over-the-top, but the stories are a bit more poignant for it. Buddy Baker’s life is less frenetic, having settled down with the certifiable Lisa Leavenworth and started a family. The past decade-plus worth of HATE comics certainly are paced differently than the prior volumes. ![]() |
