1.Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Long Way Home by: Joss Whedon November 21, 2007

One of the criticisms levelled at this buffy season 8, is that it strays from the original set uo of the TV series. It is a fair point but as the opening narrative tells the reader "the funny thing about changing the world is afterwards everythings different." Long way home has the task of reintroducing us to Buffy and co as well as setting up a new status quo, it works well enough with only a few minor bumps. Yes it lacks some of the charm of the cosy early series of Tv show, but the characters are still very much the same. Georges Jeanty is a fair artist, however the inking doesn't do his work justice. I have seen him do much better work in the past. That said most of the characters are easily recognised.

I think this is deliberate though as it wouldn't do to have a comic tell an important story in the firefly setting just in case a new series or movie is commissioned. While that looks very unlikely now at the time this was first published it was more of a possibility. That aside this is Ok, the art is nice and the characters are recognisable. The plot is simple and a bit too light but the characters are portrayed well, its like a filler episode of a TV series.

3.Tintin in the Congo (Tintin) by: Herge September 05, 2005

Reading these reviews of Tintin au Congo reminds me of the words of social analyst Jason Edward Black, "the scariest of racial stereotypes and prejudices arise when the public cannot recognize such ills." Frankly I'm concerned by some of the responses: "there is nothing here that I would personally regard as outrageous" and "It preaches the true story of colonialism and Africa. However there is absolutely nothing racist about it..." As a child I read both Tintin and Asterix comic books, adored them and was delighted to study them in a course on la bande dessinée at uni. This is when I read Tintin au Congo which provoked pretty strong feelings of repulsion. This is emphatically not an ideal read for young Tintin fans. It is however a ... Read More:

8.The Adventures of Tintin: "The Crab with the Golden Claws", "The Shooting Star", "The Secret of the Unicorn" v. 4 (Adventures of Tintin) by: Herge February 05, 2007

I love all 3 of these adventures, and always have. The Secret of the Unicorn is one of the very best of all the Tintin books. It does seem a little strange to include it in this volume without its sequel, Red Rackham's treasure (I suspect this is to encourage you to buy Volume 4!) All 3 adventures are classic Tintin, with suberb illustrations, exotic locations and exciting storylines. The colouful Captain Haddock is a very welcome addition to the cast. This collection is a real joy.

Simplified versions of Shakespeare's plays, very cleverly re-told in cartoon strips, that helps bring them to life for children (and adults) to understand.
