A week ago I did the thread on best mini and was surprised the lack of votes for this one.

While Marvel Zombies is a lot of fun, Batman & Monster Men a great recreation of a classic story, Deadly Genesis an important event, and Son of M great on character development, this series is so much better than all of them.

This series take a real good at WWII. Is it for everyone? Well, if you don't like intelligent comics with great story, characterization, art, and a good sense of history, than no this isn't for you.

Highly recommended. My favorite thinga bout this story is that it gives you a fresh look at the holocaust. highly recommended

Mike, thanks for your comments. More people should be reading this series.

Kind of a coincidence that my trade review on this link is another Eisner graphic novel...

Sam, your "Watchmen" review is great, and one of my favorites of those we've done.

Thanks Sam,

I thought that you guys might have done a review of it somewhere in the SF back catalogue.

Cool as always Sam

DD & Squadron Supreme both make it to the top of the ROAR pile when they come out. I can't agree with you more.

Glad you think so too, Madjazz!

Ross clearly doesn't need to do interiors, but hopefully he will continue to do so.

Agreed. I think both Jim Lee and Ed Benes are incredible artists (Very similar to each other too) but they suffer from bad coloring jobs. The boloring in the Marvel titles is amazing, Studio F does a great job. The Spectacular Spider-Man books for example looked like they had been colored by hand and airbrush; the DC books look like someone just learned how to use the pen and gradient tools in photoshop and went to town.

Except for the current Superman/Batman run; McGuiness' art really comes to life with the colors! Damn good job; too bad the storyline sucks...

Another strong Daredevil endorsement from http://www.newsarama.com/forums/show...19#post1903419. Anyone else out there need to be sold on this book?

Daredevil #84 (Marvel; by Richard): I never thought I would have Daredevil at the top of my pull list. It hasn’t happened since Frank Miller was writing the title. Brubaker has managed to bring a more street level quality to the book that is ably assisted by the incredible artwork of Michael Lark. There is a gritty feel to this book, but it’s the unfolding story that is really drawing me in. When I got to the last page and realized what the Punisher was doing, I said to no one in particular, “Kick Ass!” Imagine Daredevil, Kingpin, Bullseye and Punisher all in a confined room with nothing but time to kill. This should get interesting.
