Published by DC Comics 1962.

The Enlargeable picture gives an excellent sense of this book's appeal.  The cover is in beautiful shape with only minor flaws.  The cover reflects light well (with 90% of original gloss), has strong sharp coloring, and is relatively smooth and flat.  Only a few hard to see minor color breaking creases and what non-color breaking creases are present detract only a bit from the cover's appeal.  Some scuffing in the black area between spine and the orange monster. Minor discoloration at the right edge in the gray area of the building and a pin hole in the sidewalk to the right of Batman's shoulder near the edge.  There are some tiny spine stress marks.  General very light soiling on the front cover with a bit more soiling on the back.  Interior pages are very supple and off-white to a light tan at the edges.  The staples are extremely well placed and the cover nicely cut with color extending nearly all the way (perhaps a millimeter short) to the spine.  The cover is firmly attached to both staples.  The cover's edges are sharp.  The corners are squarish.  The book lies relatively flat with 3 of the corners rising 1 to 2 millimeters.  The book is complete with all pages securely attached with no interior tears or rips.  Overall, despite a number of minor flaws a beautiful book. 

Batman is our favorite comic hero.  Having no superpowers, he must rely on his education, intelligence, and cunning to a larger degree than his superhero counterparts.  This is the pre-new look Batman peopled with fantastic creatures, crooks with sci-fi powers, a fair number of aliens, and a load of bat-gear (though not with the campiness of TV Batman).  This version of Batman is aimed to please those into Asimov's style of pulp science fiction!!

 

Comic Grading - Definition of a Crease.
     
Crease - A fold which causes ink removal, usually resulting in a white line.  This seems to be the sense of what a crease is to Overstreet's Grading Guidelines and most comic graders.  We note two categories of creasing in our descriptions, 1) color breaking and 2) non-color breaking. 
 
For a color breaking crease, it must show that white line, though of course the thickness, length, and cover location of the crease are all important factors in how severely the crease actually degrades the cover's impact.
 
A non-color breaking crease is technically not a crease since it doesn't break color, but to those of us who have spent hours obsessing over our books, it is an interruption in the gloss or how the cover reflects light.  Take a smooth unblemished white sheet of paper and press your thumb nail into it several times using varying amounts of pressure.  As the paper is white there is no break in color, but depending on lighting and its angle to the paper eventually you would be able to see every point where the nail impressed the paper.  Again the noticeability, number, and locations of non-color breaking creases are factors affecting the quality of the cover.
 
If a cover is generally smooth, this means the non-color breaking creases present are interfering little with the cover's appearance.  These kinds of creases range from unnoticeable in normal viewing conditions to very intrusive.  A comic must be very carefully handled to avoid leaving these impressions at the edges.
 
Unfortunately, scans of the covers, even the enlargeable pictures we employ, do not always fully depict these imperfections.  We try to fill in the gaps by offering our estimate of what the Overstreet Grade would likely be, and by giving a detailed written description. 
 
Like most comic buyers and graders we have exchanged thoughts with, we agree that Overstreet Grading Guidelines provide a helpful starting point to access a book's quality, but we all have our own tastes and biases, and sharp disagreements on various books as well as complaints about Overstreet's approach.  Different books will impress you differently than they would us, which is why we try to be detailed and factual.  We are merely trying to provide our buyers with enough background so the book received satisfies or exceeds the expectations generated by our listing.
Please note the $4.00 handling fee for this item.  Fees charged do not fully compensate for the labor and materials necessary to process a purchase. Purchases will ship within 5 business days.

 

As of this listing over 90% of all issues of Action Comics 282 thru 482, Worlds Finest 115 to 244, & Adventure Comics 300 to 430 & 441 to 454 are in stock.  Many are in our store.  Open to requests to list individual issues in store!!!

We have tried to be precise and reasonable in our grading.  However, since grading has many gray areas ... No Condition is guaranteed.  No one can catch or describe every flaw, though generally our listings in detail and accuracy surpass 90% of other sellers.  Better yet, with enlargeable pictures for every item you can make sounder judgements about the quality of the item.  Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or want additional scans via email.

Wolverine, Warpath, Wolfsbane and X-23 (+Angel). PA fun.
Format: Kindle
Writers: Kyle & Yost. Artist: Crain. Darkly drawn: blacks, grays, steel blues and vibrant reds, gory, depictive of graphic violence – as this is what X-Force is all about. They’re a hit squad, folks out for blood, and serious about it. This one comes with advisories against the kiddies. It is essentially a gore-fest. The graphic nature aside, and as well as inclusively, this is very well drawn / colored by Crain. The gorgeous yellows of Magus, the blur of red the first time Wolverine punches Cyclops, the panel expression shots of Rahne – excellent work, and it translates pretty nicely as well – but that’s also where it’s major drawback lies. In panel over panel format it’s done in pretty linear fashion (mostly top to bottom). In some regards this works better for this particular Kindle version as the panels CANNOT BE ENLARGED BY TILTING the Kindle itself – the one thing I found annoying about it. In this regard it really takes away from the art, which is definitely worth examining, and it also takes away from the reading experience – as I would often find myself readjusting the Kindle to reading distance from artistic distance, or vice-versa. The dialogue for nearly each issue opens with a stream of consciousness – you get to see inside a particular character’s thought process, and consequently, where they are bumping up against walls in their discourse and interactions with other members of the team. From this point we get the bubbled language and somewhat choppy discourse between the characters. In my experience with this, I can say I felt the pace of the story quick, maybe too quick. It’s secondary villain (Risman) is built off of ‘The New X-Men’ (2004), which is pretty neat, turning the concept a bit, striking it at a different angle – for instance, what if X-Force intervened against Risman’s campaign, in large-part because it got personal, well: this is what you’d get. There’s even a bit of a sentimental lean (not sexual tension) to the story from two of our protagonists: Warpath and Rahne. Should make it interesting. SPOILERS: Angels & Demons, Part 1: We see the unfolding of the chain of command / villainy (Reverend William Stryker – Matthew Risman & his Purifiers and a mutant-hating sentinel: Nimrod’s head + Bastion’s body = ?), and the selection of the group members to represent X-Force, Wolverine to head the group consisting of: X-23 (Laura Kinney), Wolfsbane (Rahne), and Warpath (James Proudstar). We learn their mission target is the Purifiers who had snuck into (with inside help) the Xavier Institute, killed 16 students and then stole Nimrod’s severed head. Specifically the hit is put out for Matthew Risman. X-Force creeps up on their first mission with zilch for a game plan. That’s why we see at the end of Part 1, Rahne has already been captured and presumably assassinated. To blame: her haste, and Wolverine not wanting any of them there to begin with. Angels & Demons, Part 2: X-23, apparently the most prone to risk amongst the group (Wolverine’s clone, has undergone intensive punishment), triggers a bomb, leveling the North Dakota church that Risman has X-Force pinned down and nearly captured. Wolfsbane is absconded with yet again by Risman and Wolverine confronts Cycolps, as Wolverine knew it a bad idea to bring her along, de facto. We encounter Rahne’s back-story with ‘Reverend Craig’, a non-mutant Purifier who is also, twistedly, Rahne’s father. Commence drugging and lecturing about her sinfulness. This is called ‘Delivering’ and according to Reverend Craig it feels ‘righteous’. Reverend Risman is usurped by Bastion who now officially heads the mutant extermination operation. He calls upon his nascent techno-organic pet from the sea – ‘Magus’. Angels & Demons, Part 3: This edition circles around the resurrection of Magus, and Bastion’s assembling a type of consortium of resurrected players, presumably upon which to feed Magus. The names include: Donald Pierce (Leader of the Reavers), Reverend William Stryker (aforementioned), and Bolivar Trask (creator of the Sentinels). Risman apparently fails to kill Rahne as Bastion had commanded. He seems to be knowingly lying to him. Risman wants Reverend Stryker’s plan carried out, and he’s willing to fight Bastion on this point. Because of Risman’s purposeful neglect the group recovers Rahne, but she’s OD’d on heroin. This section of the work does a stellar job pushing Warpath as a likable character, true tough guy, but still sensitive – as a lot of his feeling is projected toward Rahne. Angels & Demons, Part 4: Rahne recovers with an assist from Elixer, who was beckoned by Angel to dilute her blood. When Rahne recovers she see’s Angel and goes berserk, transforming and ultimately tearing off his wings. These she delivers to Risman before, again, remember who she is and what she’d done under the brainwashing of Reverend Craig. With these wings, non-organic, supernatural wings – any army of metal winged mutant assassins will be created. ‘The Choir’. Much of Part 4 is X-23’s outlook on Wolverine. It’s interesting how her analysis of him is very subjective and entirely confusing for her. She denotes her back-history as consisting of embryonic development for the Weapon-X project. She’s nearly the perfect war machine, and to see her confusion surrounding her own lack of feeling is… almost humanizing, per se. Angels & Demons, Part 5: After acquiring Angels wings Bastion sets Risman up to take the fall, as he uses the reincarnation of William Stryker as his personal mouth piece to denounce Risman. Risman’s ‘Choir’, men who’ve had surgically implanted metal wings, on behalf of DNA meshing with Angel’s wings, sets out to assassinate as many Purifiers sided with Bastion as possible. This issue closes with their confrontation. Risman has stated that he would crush the alien known as ‘Magus’ and then ‘the Oracle himself’. Brother Eli is coming along for moral support. Meanwhile, Angel has become Archangel. And he’s not one iota happy about having had his wings taken from him. X-Force attempts to distract him, but the trio take quite a whooping, while Rahne is transforming and escaping the clutches of the Purifiers. I’d much wished she’d offed her father (Reverend Craig) when she had the chance… *disappointed face* Part 5, something akin to Part 4, stars Matthew Risman as the introductory narrator. The spring-well from which the story comes forth, who’s thoughts, politics and perspectives are intertwined with the dialogue – in this particular case to show that Risman, rather than Bastion, is the more likable villain… or simply the lesser of the two evils. Angels and Demons, Part 6: Entering the ensuing battle more toward the end, Wolverine makes a recount of the events that led up to the carnage they walked in upon. Archangel slaughtered as many Purifiers as he could (meaning: all of them) in efforts to find his wings – which he successfully does. Risman has his cranium opened up by X-23 and Wolverine takes on Bastion. Bastion escapes but not without revealing his Consortium of mutant slaughtering regenerates. At this juncture the story takes on the typical multi-villain arch common to so many. An assembly, a hit-force, which eventually fails… because it has to. Rahne finally does get the opportunity to avenge herself. Will the psychological scars of her actions torment the rest of her existence? With Bastion on the loose, his 7 villain super-team currently stoic puppets & Eli Bard in apparent control of Magus, in what manner will X-Force continue the fight in ‘X-Force Volume 2: Old Ghosts’?

Story develops well. And X Force characters are intriguingly likable, as is their developing story.
Format: Kindle
Wolverine's point of view works well for navigating this story, as X Force is put back together to face familiar enemies. However descent among their foes takes this plot left field and sets up an even bigger stage for a bigger showdown. The book is only six chapters, but they all tie in flawlessly, and the story and character relationships with each other are masterfully crafted . Can't wait to read vol.2. I strongly recommend you read this if you are considering it . The characters are all likable and keep you interested . Edgier darker X-men, but not emo. Cool. And this story develops well.

Best of a “Good” situation
This graphic novel arrived in the best “Good” level condition I’ve ever seen. It appeared to be an ex library copy that had excellent protection tape on the cover. I peeled that off and have perfect cover and barely any wear on the pages/binding. The novel itself was epic too.

Great Great Great
With the extinction of mutants a very real possibly and some very nasty enemies plotting terrible things Cyclops decides the time is nigh to put together a Black-Ops style squad to hunt and kill the most extreme threats to mutant kind. Thus begins this series of X-Force and it begins with a bang I must say. Fantastic art, brutal violence, X-Men with blades %^&*ing ^%$# up... what's not to love?

Good read
Format: Kindle
It's a sign of laziness & lack of creative skill to cast some American Christian group as the twisted bad guys (note to Marvel: it's been done - hire better writers) but hey, I guess some folk are ok publishing & cashing their paychecks with offensive material. As long as you don't take this book as serious as it takes itself, you'll be able to distract yourself with some mindless, formulaic fun. Read this on kindle; even brightness all the way up, images still a bit too dark. It would also be great if kindle allowed pinch-zoom to see more detail in the frames instead of double tap to call out a frame. other than that this is a decent offering, quick, fun read.
