Impressive!

Not my cup of tea - not because it wasn't deep and thoughtful - I may be a fossil, but I enjoy the golden age comics more. They certainly can handle all the deep issues of war and peace as well, but this didn't grab me. I suspect I need more of a handle on the back story of Black Panther in his current incarnation. Or I'm not much of a Marvel fan.

I do enjoy some of the modern graphic novels - I liked the Evanovich thriller, and Doctor Fate as well.

The Superman Chronicles, Vol. 1 by Jerry Siegel

Just SUPER, man!

I really enjoyed this - a classic.

I'll admit, it is scattershot and all over the map. Superman's ethics are at times dubious (drugging a college football player so he can impersonate him, really? Blowing up an oil well to deprive the shady owners of its riches?) But his heart is in the right place, setting juvenile delinquents right, ending wars, fighting traffic accidents - he's out to do good and does it well.
