David McK (3843 KP) rated The Odyssey in Books
Apr 6, 2026
The Odyssey.
Homers epic poem, about the travails of Odysseus on his return from the siege of Troy.
It's probably one of the most well-known of ancient saga's, but - from my memory of trying to read it whilst at school - boy, is it a slog to get through.
That is where this comes in, in what is - basically - a graphical retelling of the story in a visual medium (graphic novel), with this covering all the key points of the story, including the fact that Odysseus wasn't exactly faithful to Penelope in the 10 years it took him to get home to Ithica (after spending 10 years at this siege of Troy) ...

David McK (3843 KP) rated Batman, Volume 5: Zero Year: Dark City in Books
Oct 19, 2025
Follow on from Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year – Secret City, this collects issues 25-27 and 29-33 of the so-called New 52's take on Batman, here again in his earliest days - so well before The Joker, Robin, etc - as the vigilante Batman in Gotham City.
Yet to form an alliance with the police, who are - here - still trying to capture or kill him, this Batman does not always win his battles, often coming home to Wayne Manor beaten, bloody and bruised.
That doesn't stop him still trying, though, with this graphic novel - and this storyline - showing how he goes on to become a beacon of hope to the Gothamites.

Aiyana is intrigued by an attack that has happened on a chemical company so goes to investigate, gets a bit spooked but gets something to look further into to discover what has caused the attacks. Then the building she works in is attacked. That is only the start of the adventure!
I found this story took me a bit to get into, but once I got there I was able to wiz through it quite quickly. There is a lot of action from the get-go and a lot of cool characters.
The seem like they should belong to one of the 2 major graphic novel producers. Extremely intriguing.
Definitely recommend you read this

Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2607 KP) rated Bruce Wayne: Not Super in Books
Oct 18, 2023 (Updated Oct 18, 2023)
Fun Middle School Origin Story
Bruce Wayne stands out at his middle school, Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really Gifted. No, not because of the wealth he’s inherited from him parents but because he’s the only one without any powers. But when he sees a student bullying another kid, he decides he has to do something. Will he come up with a plan?
This is a fun alternative take on Batman’s origins including cameos from other DC super heroes. The story was entertaining, and I laughed multiple times as I was reading. Be sure to look at the illustrations since some of the jokes are in there. This graphic novel is a very fun read.

Lord Crawford has got somebody trying to assassinate him so in a desperate attempt he hires a bodyguard after watching him in a boxing match and he seems familiar. He finds his long lost friend and the reason why somebody wants him dead!
This is a lovely written story the way the friendship blooms after the time they've had apart is fantastic. Some fights occur and I found myself wincing, to be honest, it's that well written. The sex scenes aren't coarsely written they are graphic but beautiful in a way the connection they have is amazing.
It really was a shock who was attempting to murder Alfie and why!
Definitely suggest you read it

David McK (3843 KP) rated Doctor Who: Once Upon a Timelord in Books
Nov 24, 2023
It's hard to believe that BBCs Doctor Who is now 60 (as of 2023).
Yes, you read that right: 60.
Albeit with a hiatus in the 1980s/1990s, until it's triumphant return in 2005.
And it's that later incarnation that is the main lead in this graphic novel, with perhaps-the-most-popular-modern-incarnation (Dr #10, David Tennant, soon also to be Dr #14) taking the lead here alongside his just-after-Rose-Tyler companion Martha. This is then a whistle-stop tour of the Doctor's various enemies, with the story itself being told as a story within a story by Martha to a group of alien monsters who feed off the pyschic energy released by storytellers.
