| ISBN | 1506701981 |
4.25ish stars.
Maybe my favorite on-going title. Great character work and a solid, clever plot that deftly balances Golden Age superheroes with New Age struggles. It makes the '90s flashbacks feel like the '40s but it works. This is a big improvement over the first volume; now that the character...

Au Japon, un quart des hommes entre trente et cinquante ans n'aurait jamais eu d'expérience sexuelle, ce qui représente donc plus de 4 millions d'individus… vierges ! Ce sont les vies de huit d'entre eux qui sont mises en scène dans ce manga sociologique. Des vies bien réelles, entre souffrances...

| Author | Katsuhiro Otomo |
| ISBN | 1569714991 |
You just cannot put this book down. Akira's second volume is pure, non-stop action from start to end. I love how Katsuhiro Otomo brings in all the characters and play their part without making the reading experience overcrowded. Even without the film as a reference, this book is oozing with cinematic...

| Author | Alan Moore |
| ISBN | 1878574450 |
Before I wrote this review I had just read this 100 page 1991 book twice, last night, and again today. Between readings I skimmed some reviews, to see why it had such a low rating. Because I was intrigued by the book, what Moore and Zarate were trying to do with it, and it seemed like a kind of departure for Moore...
