This is a book that will make you laugh, cry, and cry some more. The blatant self-destruction of the greatest rock drumer of all-time is alot to take at times. One can only witness so much pain, agony, and sadness without needed a moment to catch their breath. So I found myself- like many who’ve partied around the icon, taking frequent breaks away from Keith Moon and then reading a 200 page binge into the dark spiral of the drummer’s tortured soul.
It’s brutal stuff and enough to make one see Moon in a less favorable sight and yet still defend to the death how vital hi presence was to the WHO.
Worth Consuming- but be prepared to need to take a break from it at times.

For years, I felt guilty that I’ve never finished Davis’ Don’t Know Much About History. After read DKMA: Mythology- I no longer feel guilty and I no longer want to own, read, and consider any futher works of Kenneth Davis.

Not worth consuming

Now, I had just cheered someone who hated the whole Molok theme of this book. And I still stand by that cheer. To introduce a new narrator in a series like this does detract somewhat from the essence of what Detxter is all about.
But, I really love the exploration of what makes Dex tick and the crimes and clues in the book make sense. And Dex’s friendship with Vince has some real buddy moments that remind me of Lethal Weapon- if Leathel Weapon was made by the E! network.
The role of Dex’s soon to be step-kids has some really classic moents involing Sgt. Debbie- but some things like the kidnapping gets a real Disney-like ending. I just don’t think that could really happen in real life.
Out of the 3 books (so far…) this is the least of the bunch. But, Dex is such a great character- I just couldn’t put it down. So, I give it a worth consuming!

The 70’s have a reputation for being a lean time for great comic book story telling- but I must disagree- and this book is proof of that.
The art of Kirby just keeps getting better, Stan Lee’s stories get better (and less sappy), and what’s more- the rotating membership of the FF actually works. And had I read this before the Civil War tear up of the Baxter Building’s favorite residents, I might not have been calling so much for Joe Quesada’s head.
Worth Consuming!

Better than the 1st book… I love how Dexter ends up becoming more “normal” no matter how hard he tries not too. The MO of Dr. Danco is inspired and very clever. Dexter is the greatest literary character to come out of the past 5 years. Thus,Jeff Lindsay is one of the greatest writers of the 21st century.
I cannot wait for book 3!

For being reprints of the 1940s- this series is really very good. Al Schwartz is a marvelous writer. A couple of stories were reprinted in the Greatest Batman and Greatest Joker Stories Ever Told treasuries.

The volume I read is a 2007 reissue of the 1990 treasury of Sunday Comics. But, it’s not a re-edit, so many of the commentaries reflect the release of the 1st Tim Burton Batman movie and thus a little dated. And multiple reference are made to the dailies- which are collected in other volumes.
Worth Consuming

I got hooked watching CBS air reruns of Dexter recently- and decided to read the book.
Somewhat true to the series- but at under 295 pages- you can’t really get 13 episodes out of that- so don’t expect the book and show to really co-incide.
Can’t wait to read the sequels.
WOrth Consuming!

When I first heard about the movie- I thought it’ll either be great or jump the shark. And although Homer jumps alot of things on his motorbike- JAWS ain’t one of them.
This movie did something the TV show hadn’t done it years- make me enjoy the Simpsons again. It was very clever, funny, and nowhere near as sacriligious as TV Guide or Yahoo said it was.
I really loved the marquee that said outside of church, “Thy Shall Turn off Thy Cell Phone” Amen Rev. Lovejoy.
A great thrill ride… I really hope the show takes something from this and becomes better. One way to help- hire A. Brooks as a permanent voice on the Simpsons. That kind of charm, class, and tastelessness hasn’t been seen since Phil Hartman passed away and 3 really great characters were nomore.
On that note, let’s all that a moment of silence before we say-Worth Consuming!

The movie is a bit too long and a bit too short. And here’s why. Spider-man doesn’t make an appearance for the 1st 15 minutes of the movie. In fact, there is more MJ than Parker. An origin movie, I could understand, but not the 3rd film. The romance makes this a verrrrry long movie. It almost makes you wish for One More Day to start playing out.
Now, on the other hand, this movie is tooooo short because of the fact than there’s not 1, not 2, but 3 baddies in this movie. And while Sandman gets adequate build-up in his story and New Goblin started coming around in the last movie- there’s really not a lot of build-up with Venom.
However, the last fight scene makes up for all of this movies short comings. The Spidey-New Goblin team-up against Sandman and Venom is every childhood comics readers dream- A live action Marvel Team-Up. It was great.
Now, if only the actors would stop acting like pansies and buck-up and give the fans a 4th movie. That would be really worth consuming!

Consumed in less than 18 hours!
Ultimate Spider-man is one of the best series ever- current or past. And the main reason is the writer- Brian M. Bendis.
His Spidey is NOT a remake like what Van Zant tried to do with Pyscho. NOt at all. US is a recrafting.
For those of you who hate that One More Day happened- don’t abandon the SS PeterParker- come over to the Ultimate side of the Force.
This volume does have a new artist for the 1st ever. It’s not bad art- but for someone whose gone 18 straight volumes with a different artists, the 1st couple of chapters mean theres an adjustment period. But by the explosive action at books end- the adjustment is gone and your left yearning for volume 20 to hurry up and get printed.
Worth Consuming!
