![]() Rating: - The Masterpiece of Illustrated LiteratureWizard gave this bad boy spot #2 on their best graphic novels of all time. I highly disagree, Marvels is better than DC: The New Frontier by a long shot. This novel is the most realistic superhero comic ever created.

Combining the excellent writing of Kurt Busiek and the breathtaking painted visuals of Alex Ross, the story takes a look at the Marvel Universe from the common man's perspective. Following the life of a New York City reporter, this graphic novel shows humanity's reaction to the mighty superheroes that walk Marvel Earth. The story is wonderful for several reasons. The most obvious is Alex Ross' artwork, which gives a very realistic look to a ... Read More Marvels (Marvel Premiere Classic) Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
