Summary: The Crow
Comment: Well I read a review from a person who didnt like this book and from what the person said I decided to write my own. They said something of only 16 year old goth punk rockers to be interested in it and well I am 18. I think that this comic is the best ever written. If you read the introduction you will notice that the person writting the intro mentions that the writer, J. O'Barr, has lost a loved one so you can tell that when he writes this comic it is from his heart. I acctually saw the movie with Brandon Lee first. This is the best movie ever. Now back to the book itself. As you should know it is about love and revenge. A young man, Eric Draven, and his girlfriend, Shelly Webster, are murdered.....well Shelly was but Eric survives just to die afterwards in the hospital. He then is brought back one year later from the night he was murdered by the crow. Hence he is the crow. The crow guides him to seek vengance for what happened to him and his girlfriend. Now more than just a revenge story, it has a depth to it. Sure it is dark and violent but it also has a little light. Like when Eric remembers the good time he had and the reason why he is killing the others. Now as for the guy who thinks it is for 16 goths and such I think the total opposite. I think it is for anyone who wants to read something that will acctually pull you into it. I personally felt a little sad thinking of what happened to Eric even if it was fiction. I just enjoyed the entire book. To tell you the truth it is up to the person who reads it. Some people will like it others wont but one thing is for sure, its a good comic.

Summary: Feel the pain ooze off the paper.
Comment: This book is amazing. This is the first graphic novel that is both emotionally disturbing and fixating. The pain O'Barr must have been going through, must be emense and it translates well on the paper- The pain simply oozes off the papers.
This graphic novel is a must for those who like the darker side of life, and those who like a good story. It's poetic, sad, funny (in brief moments) violent and disturbing. All the hallmarks of a classic. (You could go as far as to say it is Hamlet for a messed up generation, but I'm not.)
All in all, a great read. This graphic novel has to be up there in the graphic novel top ten list (which would also include sin city, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns and others.)
Rating: 5
Summary: A vision of wonders.
Comment: So you open the cover, viewing already some magnificient artwork. Then there's the foreword. A touching thing to enter J. O'baar's graphic novel with. Then, flip of the page, and we have a memeralia for Brandon Lee, our friend whom died in the making of the moving. Generously, it's nice.
This story is a fine line on wonder, and mystere. Sadness, and despair. The whole imagery has a kind of emotion to it. Generally, I recommend this book for ages 16 and up.
I loved it.
