Neil Young's Greendale door Josh Dysart

The graphics are good, but the text is predictable. I was disappointed that it was so 'obvious' and I knew exactly where the story would go as I turned each page.
It's pretty much preaching to the choir.

B.P.R.D: 1946-1948 door Mike Mignola

I am fan of secret agencies fighting against dark occult, various secret societies and dangers from beyond. This is what X-COM, Bureau, Delta Green, even X-Files and S.H.I.E.L.D are all about - ordinary men and women thrown into highly non-ordinary situations fighting against overwhelming odds and dying in service of humanity.

B.P.R.D is exactly that kind of agency. Formed and led by the professor Bruttenholm, B.P.R.D tries to uncover and neutralize mysteries and horrors that put humanity in great danger. In these stories we follow them from post-WW2 Germany to continental USA while they fight monstrosities and lose agents at alarming rate. Stories show in a great way how ordinary men cope with what they encounter (psychologically but also physically - although wounds are not always of the flesh kind) plus we get introduced to the assortment of creatures either hiding within humanity for sheer self-amusement (not unlike scientists (Q comes to mind here) infiltrating animal wild-life just to see how animals live and behave when tackling almost impossible odds) or biding their time until the moment when they raise again and eradicate the humanity for all times.

Art is great, every book/year having a very specific artistic signature.

Highly recommended to all fans of supernatural thriller.… (meer)

Harbinger Volume 2: Renegades door Joshua Dysart

This is really good! I don't think I've ever enjoyed a team superhero book since the heydays of the X-men. This is so much better than that. Valiant is trying to accomplish a lot more than another Marvel/DC retread and succeeding.

Harbinger Volume 3: Harbinger Wars door Joshua Dysart

What makes Harbinger so unique is that Harada is such an interesting figure for everything to revolve around. He's both Prof X. and Magneto in one and a lot more on top of that. What drives this book is as much Harada's combination of empathy and ruthlessness as anything the Renegades do.
