Book Reviews of Wanted
Book Review: Graphic SF Reader
Summary: 2 Stars
A look at life from the supervillain side. A young man discovers he is the child of one of the supervillains that rule the world, having teamed up years ago to beat the superheroes in a 'crisis'.
Starts off ok and deteriorates quickly, as he quickly moves out of his crappy job and gets rid of his cheating girlfriend.
He learns his talent is shooting, and by shooting, shooting the wings off moving flies, that sort of good.
Unfortunately, the promising start wanes quickly.
Book Review: Great Comic. Much better than the movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this comic because I liked the movie Wanted.
I realized that the story was quite different and I wanted to read it.
It really surprised me, as it was quite better than the movie.
A must.
Book Review: Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been wanting to read this book for some time, but never got around to it. I saw that a movie was being made about it so I thought I'd get in gear and check it out. The book is really well written and drawn. I felt it had some similarities to Millars Ultimates and Alan Moore's Watchmen. The biggest dissapointment for me was watching the movie trailer right after reading the book. It looks like everything I loved about the book is completely removed from the movie.Book Review: Great but not for everyone
Summary: 5 Stars
Generally people who are uncomfortable with taking insults for their hobbies and fanboi-isms are generally going to dislike this book. There is an interesting universe constructed here, with a fairly interesting plot, and through the sex and violence there is deeper meaning here as well. But most people won't see it, they will focus on one aspect or another. I think to enjoy it, you have to appreciate all parts of it. Not unlike enjoying A Clockwork Orange (the novel or the film), there is definitely a message from writer, and it's meant to shake you from a sleepy modern life rather than lull you into a happy place.
Book Review: Great but not like the movie..... (AT ALL)
Summary: 5 Stars
it is about the lives of a supervillans and the complications with each other and it is a great book and most defiantly worth buying.
