Justice League Unlimited – Why I Read All 4 Issues in One Go

Mark Waid and Dan Mora deliver a thrilling Justice League run. I was so hooked I read all 4 issues back‑to‑back. Here’s why this “unlimited” version of the JLA has me excited for the long haul.

I was surprisingly pleased by Justice League Unlimited — so pleased that I read all 4 issues in one go.

Mark Waid is fleshing out every single page with amazing interactions between each superhero and plot lines that keep you on the edge of your seat. It seems there’s an unlimited number of superheroes who are part of this JLA, and as long as the writing stays this strong, I’m here for the long haul.

And Dan Mora’s art? A feast for the eyes. I’m loving every detail he draws. I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen his art, and I’m thoroughly impressed.

I can’t wait to find out who the villains are working behind the scenes — and who else will be featured in this new unlimited version of the Justice League.

This is a comic I highly suggest you read!

A Late Christmas Treat

I have a small amount to spend as a Christmas gift on comics and I was finding it hard on what to choose.

Sunday Comic Book Reading

Having a busy schedule does not give me the time to enjoy one of my favourite things, going through my comic book collection.

I miss having the time to just pick up a stack of comics, rereading them and reorganizing them. Each time I would notice something different and interesting, a new perspective of the story and the art .

Finding Comic Books – Kinokuniya Books, Dubai

Kinokuniya an amazing book store

Comic fans in Dubai already must know but whoever is a comic book fan should visit the Dubai Mall not because its the biggest mall in the world but to visit Kinokuniya Books!

It was an unexpected surprise that this Japanese book store had such a big collection of comics of all types from Superheroes to Manga to European comics and in all formats!

Also the statuettes and figurines of comic book characters, animation, movies and games where simply stunning.I was bedazzled for a few moments before I started searching for something to buy which I eventually did

I’m so glad that I found issue one of Guardians of the Galaxy and Young Justice, I’m a big fan of both titles!!

Finding Comic Books – India

Finding comic books around the world, this time in India

I’m currently visiting India and was looking forward to find some comics but l did not expect to find them in ElephantaI Island but l did!

It just happened that l noticed a small stool in the market area that had some comics! I browsed the covers and checked quickly the interior of one of them and saw that they were based on Indian mythology!

l decided to buy a couple on my way back, l didn’t want to risk having them snatched by a monkey while visiting the caves. So on my return l chose two “Tales of Shiva” & “Hanuman” l asked the guy who was selling them what he knew of these comics and he replied that they are very old comics, and yes he read comics too.

From a quick check l did later on the ferry the comics that l had chosen were actually reprints which were original published in 1967 and 1971, they are written in English and they have lovely art and published by Amar Chitra Katha.

They reminded me of the “Classic Illustrated” comic series l had read in Greece!
