Customer Reviews

DC at it's best

First off, I don't actually own this book - I have the comics in their single issue format. If what the previous reviewer wrote is true (that 40 pages of the original 10-issue run of Aztek comics wasn't printed in this book), then I should have given this book only 1 star for being such a disappointing let-down. For those who don't know, this series (in addition to Morrison's work on Animal Man after the original Crisis on Infinite Earths) really put Grant Morrison on the map as a true inovator in the world of comic book literature. Although it's a shame DC waited over 10 years to reprint this awesome series, I was very pleased to see it's finally here. If you enjoyed the raw, dark, gritty style of DC comics from the early and mid-90's (ie the death of Superman, the crippling of Batman, Hal Jordan (as Green Lantern)'s psychological melt-down and killing spree upon his fellow Green Lantern Corps, etc.) then you will definately appreciate this book. If you enjoy Grant Morrison's intelligent and page-turning style, here's a look at some of his most creative and original material. Aztek is truly one of DC's best titles of all time, and it would be a real crime against their company's heritage and one of their most important authors to not reprint every page of this story - but it should also include the issue of JLA where Aztek sacrifices himself to save Earth shortly after this series ended.
