Comic Books That Came From The Floor Reviews #1

Hey everyone, this is a new section im doing called "Comic books that came from the floor" i just grab a bunch of comics or graphic novels and do some quick reviews.

Ok first up Is Xmen Magneto testament collection Written By Greg Pak and Illustrated By Carmine Di GiandomenicoThis Book was Amazing, it crosses the genre of superhero comics and tells a story of a young boy whos world is falling apart around him, Greg Pak really understands the character of young magneto and Carmine Di Giandomenico's dark artwork suits this story perfectly, when i first started reading it the artwork came across jarring but by the end i realized how perfect it really was. The only problem i had with it, was that it was so dark and depressing, but it is a holocaust story so thats not so much a complaint as an observation, if you enjoyed the movie Schindlers List or would like a view in the young mind of one of comics greatest villians then i suggest reading this. I give it 4 and 3 quarters out of 5 starsNext Up Final Crisis Hardcover By Grant Morrison and Illustrated by too many damn people(Read further for details)

Final crisis...was interesting..It had alot of intense and complelling ideas, but the execution was done poorly. It was written by Grant Morrison who is a fantasic writer and any who dont belive me should go out and read the three volumes of Animal Man he wrote, but with this story he writes using the same craziness that made me like Animal Man but writes Final Crisis very choppy and jumpy, what i mean is it jumps from scene to scene with little or no explaination. Basically a villian known as Darkseid takes over the earth and its the "last fight of humanity", and alot of insanity follows, everything from a visit to limbo, an alien vampire, deaths of major superheroes, a battle of talking tigers, a return of a major superhero, cavemen, batman with a gun, a god machine and so much craziness i could list stuff like this all day, i enjoyed this because of my encyclopedic knowledge of the dc universe, but stuff like the quick scene jumping and the changing artists during the comic series aggrivated me, but overall i enjoyed the abstract ideas and some scenes were touching to longtime readers like me but i can only recomend it to someone who has a vast knowledge of the dc universe and in the mood for a crazy unique story, just dont expect to understand it all on first reading...it took me three times..After multiple readings i give this a rating of 3 and a half out of 5 stars only if you fit the criteria above.
