The Week in Reviews 05-28-2008
The coveted book of the week award goes to
Judenhass
Published by Aardvark-Vanaheim
Written and Illustrated by Dave Sim
As important as Maus, The Plot,
Schindler’s List or any other piece on its subject matter, Judenhass is the work of a comics master. Sim continues to redefine and transcend his chosen medium with every project. I know it is early, but I cannot fathom the idea that a more important comic book will be published this year.

A close second was this book, possibly Lee’s favorite book of the year so far, which our good friend Dan Cole covered…
Final Crisis
Published by DC Comics
Written by Grant Morrison
Art by J.G. Jones
Grant Morrison does not fail to deliver the intrigue in this issue. Though it is lacking in the way of all-out brawls and senseless violence it… wait, no it’s not. Though it may lack the appeal and intrigue that most… no, it has both of those. Huh.

Lee also covered Batman #677, Firebreather #1, and Marvel 1985 #1 as well as an advanced review for this week’s Avengers/Invaders #2.
Over in Fast Breaks the Broken Frontier staff covered All-Star Superman #11, Astounding Wolf-man #6, Angel: Revelations #1, Daredevil #107, Northlanders #6, and Secret History of Authority: Hawksmoor #3.
As usual the week in reviews is brought to us by our good friends at Broken Frontier…
