I just finished Exact Revenge by Tim Green and The Rebel:Johnny Yuma (Can't remember the author but he worked as a scriptwriter on the original TV series starring Nick Adams...this was the first western I've ever read)...just before that I finished The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly...also San Francisco's Lost Landmarks by James R. Smith and Murder by the Bay by Charles F. Adams

Yeah, I've got a whole stack of those Marvel novels. Some are definitely better than others...

Today I started BATMAN: No Man's Land by Greg Rucka...only 6 pages so far, but seems exceptionally well written for a superhero novel. Last year I read a JLA paperback and the only reason I finished it was that I had started it..the plot was weak at best and the writing less than juvenile...your average comic is written at a much higher level.

Pablo, this is a good one. My wife bought it for me and, to date, it is the best superhero novel I've read.

I have the same problem. If I start a book, I need to finish it, no matter how bad it gets.

Also read "No Man's Land", very good.

Stay far away from the Crisis on Mutiple Earths novel...BLAH!
