Court

Two things that I found rather interesting: the interpretation if the Louvre from an outsider's perspective and the account of the masterpieces during WWII.

cute, humorous

This was amzing. I've been looking forward to this book for a long time. I really enjoyed the art and the importance of stories, the comparative religion was one of my favorite themes.

There are a few things however that interrupted my enjoyment of the book. In the beginning of the book it was a little difficult to follow the order of events and the jumping in the story, but it was manageable. What was bigger than that was the settling was jumbled – for the majority of the book appears to take place hundreds of years ago, but then later in the book they appear to be in modern times which is just confusing, and thus (for me) frustrating.

Also did I miss something about her biological son, how does an empty crib automatically mean death? I mean you never gave up on Habibi, but are so quick to just give up on the child that you had recently had a change of heart about?

Heavy topics, race, sex, rape, gender... All of which he may not have gotten correct, but it does give one something to think about.

Cute, made me laught, loveable characters, and room for sequels/prequels... Good times

Not a bad collection, and a great way of setting up each artist and their work with a little bio and some context.

Lots of comics yielded an enjoyment of “2” sad to say, although a few of my favorite artists did make an appearance, Kate Beaton and Kevin Huizenga. I still want to try more of these anthologies, though. Next up BAC for 2012

I didn't love the story, the story earns a score of 1.5-2, but the art is really, really good, about a 4, so an average of 3.

Closer to a 3.5, but very, very good for a collection. Some familiar artists, and some I've earmarked for me to become familiar with :D
I look forward to the other collections and some of the other stories/authors they can expose me to.

Very cute. At times I had to roll my eyes at the little stories he made up or the love triangle-y stuff, but then I stopped myself and reflected back onto my time in elementary school...similar things happened. I very much look forward to the next volume, and hopefully the return of Yuki-san :)

I scored each comic I read from 0-5, then averaged, I ended up with about 2.6, however I'm giving it the 2 stars instead of three because I'm additionally disappointed with the way it was set up by McCloud.

I have mixed feelings about anthologies, but usually try to pick them up to gain exposure to artists I'd normally never see...in this case I wish I hadn't seen some of them, or those particular segments of their work.

Maybe other editors do better/more-to-my-taste compilations and presentations,

I thought that this was going to be a solid four star, but it did an amazing job, and before I knew it I wanted to give dear September a kiss on the cheek too.
Additionally, great ending in terms of leaving room for the sequel.

I liked that it had an introduction by ‘Richard Castle', very good touch. I little cheesy, but mostly in such a way that was tongue and cheek and lightly humorous.

Informative pages that were then followed by 106 plates of Dürer's work. Beautiful, I loved the art work,mother informative pages were a little dense but did provide so history and some context.

To be honest I reached 80% I was on a plane with only that loaded on my kindle, I am no long on a plane and can not bear to neglect my better options.
The writing style was poor, the characters thin and unbelievable, and the editing spotty; I should no longer be subjected to spelling errors in print. To be fair, I was expecting a very different book, maybe I will find that in Nickolas Cook's ‘Alice in Zombieland' ...not the White Rabbit Chronicle, or whatever it is with Alice Bell, couldn't finish the sample of it.

Loved the beginning, started to loose me by the end though. Two big pet peeves though: interjecting a two-page spead of pictures in the middle of a word– it really threw off the continuity– and some of the cartoons were really hard to read, which made it frustrating.
Otherwise, good coverage of an interesting subject matter

Charming, great art, wasn't prepared for him to be shot in the eye a little shocking, and overall a good, short tale.

Informational, with great art. It stayed pretty neutral, so it would make for a great educational aid. I liked how it went back all the way to the formation to the Rockies.

A little convoluted, but I kept turning the pages, and I was forewarned: it is called “Not Simple”. It was interesting, the beginning was a little over-the-top, and in a few places it felt like it was trying too hard or was a little too cliche, but it has that lure of forbidden mystery and sadness. Really well done though when Ian returns from meeting Kylie's boyfriend and has gum

A little cliche and campy, but not as bad as an episode of Scooby Doo, and very cute. I also really liked the art style.

Both experiences of the story are highly enjoyable.

Decent satire, however, since I have not yet read ‘A Modest Proposal' I will refrain from comparison.

I had much higher hopes, I previously read Relish. French Milk was just a diary of a foodie, only-child, with affluent parents. The drawings were wonderful. I very much disliked the photos, though.

Sigh, more in the 2-2.5 range, but I do love Queen. It's a bit lengthy for so little actual material. I was also expecting more about Queen/Freddie Mercury.
