Book Reviews of Absolute DC: The New Frontier
Book Review: Really WANTED to love it, but still haven't finished it.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love the concept, the execution and most of all: the hardcover presentation!
But some people are D.C. people. And some are Marvel People. I seem to be a Marvel person.
For me, it was a really slow read and to be honest, I am only half way thru and haven't finished it after buying it a year ago. It's like there is too much happening, and that the scenes that are condensed need to be expanded and some of the longer scenes need compressing.
Flicking forward the pages look great, but I just dont know why it's so reveared.
But for those who already know the story and likeit....this is a great hardcover!
