Wolverine: Enemy of the State
Författare: Mark Millar
Illustrationer: John Romita Jr & Kaare Andrews
Betyg: 4 - Effing awesome dude!
Wolverine är awesome, och det är dagens sanning. Visst, just den här berättelsen har sina klichéer och cheesy kommentarer (läs: Captain America), men det är coola moves, snygga illustrationer och en massa blood and gore. Extra creds för delen med Spindelmannen och The Hornet. ...Och nu ska jag gå och snacka svengelska nån annanstans, promise.

Batman & Son
Författare: Grant Morrison
Illustratörer: Andy Kubert, Jesse Delperdang and John Van Fleet
Betyg: 3/5
One of the more impressive scenes of Batman & Son is the one in which Batman fights a never-ending hoard of man-bats in a pop art gallery. The pop art pictures are used to illustrate many of the sound effects in a most humouristic way (a picture with a "WOW" speech bubble hanging over a gorgeous woman, for example).
Otherwise, Morrison's way to tell the story leaves a lot to wish for. Sometimes he lets a character seemingly imply something, never to bring the subject back up again. At other times Morrison completely drops a storyline and nothing is ever spoken of it again, as he starts a new arc. Talia al Ghul is the most tangible disappointment, as she acts very irrational and out of character.
Interestingly enough, Morrison has Alfred to read Artemis Fowl in one arc. Alfred ought to be at last 50 years too old for that.

The Legend of Drizzt Omnibus
Writer: Andrew Dabb
Illustrator: Tim Seeley
Original author: R.A. Salvatore
Rating: 4/5
The comic adaption of the Dark Elf Trilogy, describing the beginning of the drow Drizzt Do'Urden's life. Written under close supervision of Salvatore it is illustrated with a great care for details. And it is oh-so-pretty. I walk over to my bookcase just to pet it every now and then. Materialistic bliss at its best.

Batman by Brubaker
The Man Who Laughs
Story: Ed Brubaker
Illustrations: Doug Mahnke
Rating: 3/5
The first Batman comic I ever read, so bear with me. It is a very short one (under 70 pages) about the first time Gotham meets the Joker. Batman has been fighting evil for some time, but is still not a well-established super hero in the city. The intro of the story is excellent, as are the illustrations, but the ending feels a bit sudden and pointless.
Story: Ed Brubaker
Illustrations: Patrick Zircher
Rating: 2/5
Another story by Brubaker in the same album, taking place several years later. A couple of unsolved murders that happened 50 years ago resurfaces and Batman takes help from the Green Lantern to solve them. Waaay too much of this storyline is about the Green Lantern, and he is a boring motherfucker of a super hero to be honest. If you, like me, lose interest for the plot, it sure is not worth it. I spent most of the story wondering why neither Batman nor the Green Lantern were old men, which they should have been after all this time(?)
