5.0 out of 5 stars
Continues the Fun from Volume 1
If you prefer your comics fun (as opposed to grim and gritty), "The Brave and the Bold" series from DC should be at the top of your must-read list. While death and decapitation have become standard plot points in 21st century DC Comics, Mark Waid and George Perez pulled off a perfect Silver Age throwback that is entertaining for all ages. And, like in the first volume,...

Mixed bag of team-ups
The Brave and the Bold is a neat idea. With some titanic talents at the helm, writer Mark Waid and artists George Perez and Jerry Ordway the book pair off various DC characters. Some are proven vets like Superman or Wonder Woman, others are second tier like Powergirl or Aquaman and some are (rightfully) obscure like the Metal Men or Silent Knight. Their...

This review is from: Brave and the Bold Vol. 2: The Book of Destiny SC (Brave and the Bold (DC Comics)) (Paperback)
If you prefer your comics fun (as opposed to grim and gritty), "The Brave and the Bold" series from DC should be at the top of your must-read list. While death and decapitation have become standard plot points in 21st century DC Comics, Mark Waid and George Perez pulled off a perfect Silver Age throwback that is entertaining for all ages. And, like in the first volume, Mark Waid's characterization is spot-on (the dialogue between Wonder Woman and Power Girl is fantastically entertaining). The change of artists (from George Perez to Jerry Ordway) in the final two issues is seemless. Bravo, DC, bravo. Now why can't the Justice League comic be this good?

This review is from: The Brave & the Bold, Book 2 (Hardcover)
The Brave and the Bold is a neat idea. With some titanic talents at the helm, writer Mark Waid and artists George Perez and Jerry Ordway the book pair off various DC characters. Some are proven vets like Superman or Wonder Woman, others are second tier like Powergirl or Aquaman and some are (rightfully) obscure like the Metal Men or Silent Knight.
Their stories are tied together by a common foe, an immortal alchemist named Megistus. And then everything comes together in the final chapter. The stories are fairly simple and done in one issue. In one tour-de-force Perez and Waid squeeze 3 complete team up stories in one issue. The story is just about perfect. Various obscure characters show up, do their bit, make you smile and leave. But the final battle really goes no where. The foe is as dull as a thousand other mad scientists and the battle is so crowded with heroes none of them stand out.
