Fantastic Four: The End

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 08:17:23 +0800

This is the last story of the FF, so all bets are off and anything can happen in this story. That's what attracts me about this type of story. They can do things that would never be allowed in a regular series. The story starts with a bang, the...

JLA/Hitman

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 08:13:28 +0800

Hitman in my mind is the best series by Garth Ennis. His Preacher was great at the start, but the quality decreased towards the end. It's still a good series. But Hitman has been consistent throughout the run, and I really liked the ending. So ...

Stardust Novel

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:12:01 +0800

After watching the movie adaptation, I obviously went back to the source and listened to the audio version of Stardust written by Neil Gaiman. At the same time I also looked at the illustrated book. This is a really good fantasy/fairy tale for ...

Battle Hymn

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:11:13 +0800

This is a nice little story that reminded me of some superhero comics taking place during the WWII. In particular Captain America, The Golden Age and others. However this story is told with a more realistic twist, where governments don't just acc...

7th Son: A Podcast Novel Trilogy

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 08:03:56 +0800

7th Son was the longest podiobook I've listened to. This is a trilogy series, but I started listening only when the 3rd book was already started. So I worked my way through the first two books quickly, then caught up with book 3 and listened every...

New Avengers: Illuminati

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 22:56:52 +0800

When I first heard of the concept of the Illuminati I wasn't sold on it. I thought it was just an excuse to have yet another secret society of superheroes. Reading this mini changed that impression though. I thought seeing these heroes band tog...

World War Hulk

nobody@vox.com(John Tai) — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 22:53:42 +0800

I wasn't blown away by Planet Hulk like a lot of people, so even though I was interested in World War Hulk, I didn't have very high expectations. It turns out I like this better then Planet Hulk. This is a very fast paced action packed simple s...
