The Ring of the Nibelung Book 2: Siegfried & Gotterdammerung: The Twilight of the Gods ReviewThis is a beautifully illustrated and translated two-book comic adaption of Wagner's Ring cycle. P. Craig Russell's defends his belief that he could translate the opera music into images and create a powerful fantasy saga. The art is fantastic: Russell draws beautiful panels - the covers of these two books are a great example of the art inside. The translation into English is melodramatic (well, it's opera) and powerful. I can't praise these books enough. This is my favorite graphic story since I read, and re-read, Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, and these two volumes will be accompanying me on all my future moves.The Ring of the Nibelung Book 2: Siegfried & Gotterdammerung: The Twilight of the Gods Overview

Spirit of the Samurai: Of Swords and Rings ReviewIn the Seattle suburbs Grandfather raised his two grandchildren, fourteen years old David and thirteen years old Kat Anderson with four simple kind rules on treating and respecting others and one other, the adult mantra to obey him that that he expects both to follow. However, recently David has been constantly angry at his younger sister and has even instigated fights though her martial arts training usually overcomes his brute strength advantage. However this time he attacks her from behind and it takes Grandfather's intervention to stop him.
When David enters their Grandfather's dojo without permission, Kat follows. He shows her a book that provides the history of Japanese Samurai, especially about two rival clans, the Toho and the Black Rings, that fought one another. Grandfather arrives, but David insists on learning the truth as he says they are descendents of Toho and the kid wears three of the four Black Rings that he also found. Finally David touches the Swords of Toho and Hiro of the Black Rings. Whereas David becomes possessed with evil, his sister touches the Toho sword and becomes the last guardian battling against her sibling who wants her dead; on her side is Grandfather and Kyosha the Samurai who has just arrived claiming to be her Father.
Targeting elementary school children, this is an action-packed Samurai fantasy starring a young female teen whose opponent in a life and death struggle is her older brother. The story line is filled with action while illustrations enhance the first-rate plot. David's nastiness comes out before he is possessed so young readers will root for Kat to defeat him during their sibling battle.

New Mangaverse: The Rings of Fate ReviewMarvel's "New Mangaverse" is about as far from the "real" Marvel Universe as you can get. The copy of "Rings of Fate" that fell into my hands apparently comes after a great deal of backstory in previous volumes, but even without that background material, I enjoyed the tale.
Things are going badly for the costumed set in the Mangaverse. Spider-Man and Spider-Woman, a pair of young ninjas from the Spider Clan, are among those dodging a worldwide assault on heroes. And this isn't some half-hearted effort by cackling villains; the good guys are dying in droves. New allegiances are forming, new heroes are rising from the ashes and, through it all, the main characters maintain the cheerful and perky enthusiasm that marks a lot of the manga I've seen.
Of course, being manga, the women are all small-bodied, big-breasted and possibly underage, but hey, if you don't like that sort of thing don't pick up a book with the word "manga" on the cover.
This Mangaverse will never replace the main and Ultimate Marvel universes in popularity, I think, but it's fun, refreshing and, dare I say it, cute. It's a nice change, a treat to read and I certainly wouldn't mind coming back for another visit.

The Ring Of The Nibelung: The Rhine-gold and The Valkyrie ReviewWhile telling entertaining stories of hideous dwarves, most beautiful maidens living in a river, magnificent gods, splendid heroes and war maidens, this Wagner opera-inspired book interestingly engages with several long debated philosophical issues.
The one that I enjoyed most was the problem of men's free will seen from the perspective of a God himself (a God very much similar to a Greek one).
If not else, the author achieved his purpose (declared in the preface) to raise the reader's interest about Wagner's works. Although sometimes hard to follow, the old style English lexical choices fit well in the atmospheres evoked by the story.
From beginning to end, it was an enjoyable read that I advice for all those who are even remotely interested in opera and/or philosophy or even a simple Lord of the Ring-style story.The Ring Of The Nibelung: The Rhine-gold and The Valkyrie Overview

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Ring of Fire ReviewDespite the cover and the back cover, the main characters of this story is Buffy and Drusilla with Angelus and Spike backing up their main squeeze. Dru's new demon boyfriend is consolidating power and decided to show his "affection" by eliminating the Slayer. Which places Angelus and Spike as third wheels - either support Dru by destroying Buffy or eliminate their rival for Dru's attention. A difficult decision for Angelus who wants that joy for himself. So if you were looking for the major confrontation between Angelus and Buffy, buy a copy of the video. But if you're looking for a good story within the time period that most of the writers of the books avidly avoid, pick this up. It's an excellent addition to the Buffy Universe and Sook's artwork is getting better and betterBuffy the Vampire Slayer: Ring of Fire Overview

Y: The Last Man, Vol. 5: Ring of Truth ReviewIn the fifth trade paperback of Brian K. Vaughan's Y: The Last Man, we finally see Yorick's girlfriend Beth for the first time since the first story arc, we get a glimpse into Hero Brown's troubled past, a new girl named Beth complicates things with Yorick, and the reason that Yorick and Ampersand survived the plague is revealed.
In the story arc "Tongues of Flame", Yorick goes to a church in order to repent for the girl he killed in the previous arc. While there, he meets Beth, a girl who has become the de facto caretaker of the church. They comfort each other and provide company that each desperately needs. Yorick also helps her deal with a group of Amazons.
In "Hero's Journey", we see scenes from Hero's past, which was fairly traumatizing. From feeling neglected by her parents to being afraid of her grandfather for dark (and implied) reasons to overcompensating sexually for a bad case of acne, we are able to see why the Amazons were so successful at brainwashing her. We also learn what happened to her between her "incarceration" in Marrisville and her situation now.
Finally, in "Ring of Truth", having finally reached California, Yorick, Agent 355, and Allison try to isolate the reason why Yorick and Ampersand survived the "gendercide", but things get complicated when some ex-Culper Ring agents show up. And just as the answer is revealed, a mysterious ninja named Toyota kidnaps Ampersand again (she was responsible for his kidnapping in "Comedy & Tragedy").
This may be the best Y trade paperback yet. While "Safeword" may be the best arc, these three arcs are all very good and very intriguing. The story only continues to get better, and the next leg of the journey of Yorick Brown, the last man on Earth, should prove to be very interesting indeed.Y: The Last Man, Vol. 5: Ring of Truth Overview

When Your Phone Doesn't Ring, It'll Be Me ReviewI am an essay addict. I go through books of essays like there's no tomorrow; reading this book of essays was no different. Cynthia Heimel is a genius. I related to every word she said-- anyone who has ever had a boyfriend (or girlfriend) or any friends at all can relate and understand what she writes. I recommend this book for men and women alike. The book is also written extremely well. Such good writing is hard to find even in the most serious of books. And one last thing: this book will make you laugh until you cry and cry because everything she says is so brutally true.When Your Phone Doesn't Ring, It'll Be Me Overview

Ex Machina, Vol. 9: Ring out the Old ReviewWhen I started reading Ex Machina, 6 trades had come out and I read through them quickly. I loved it. Since then, I have had to wait about half a year for each trade and because of that, I often forget what has been going on and have a hard time loving the series as much as I did the first time. With this trade, I didn't have that problem. The comic starts with a fun "meta" issue with Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris written into the story. Then it has another one shot issue about paper. The next four issues (41-44) are the heart of it, the issues that give the book its name. They are fantastic. We get to know more back story about Mitchell, we get teased about how he got his powers, we get a cool villain and the politics heat up as Mitchell is continuing his pragmatic style of governing.
This comic got me very excited about the conclusion that comes up in November in trade format (the final issue comes out in June or July). The comic has shown us three years of government and the last six issues will focus on the last year (2005). With the introduction of new villains, the political pressure and the mysterious outside forces, I am eagerly awaiting the final chapter.Ex Machina, Vol. 9: Ring out the Old Overview
