5.0 out of 5 stars This is Eightball issue 22!, June 18, 2005

Eightball 22 is my favorite of Daniel Clowes' works and when I read reviews of Ice Haven I was really excited because I thought the story would fall along the same lines, but I had no idea that it was going to be the same book disguised as a new book. If I new that I was buying the same book with 3 extra strips, I would not have bought it. I am giving the book 5 stars because I still love the storyline and if you don't have Eightball 22 than it is well worth the money, but I am very upset with Daniel Clowes' cheap attempt to release an old book as new.

5.0 out of 5 stars I don't see how many of these bad ratings are plausible., May 18, 2009

The point of my review is to put an actual insight to some of the reviews.
I don't know why people are complaining that this was in Eightball. I really don't. Well, you might as well complain about "Like A Velvet Glove Cast In Iron", or "Pussey!", or even "Ghost World." And not to mention "Ice Haven" was written and designed to be made into graphic novel, not a comic. If you read the comic, note how it doesn't flow as well as the novel. And as far as the complaints that they'd already read the story and got this thinking it was something different, why would you buy a shirt without looking at the size? And as far as the "double dipping" comment goes... SO WHAT! The comic is out of print! What do you want them to do?

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle Version -- Lousy Graphic Resolution, July 15, 2010

This review is from: Ice Haven (Kindle Edition)

My review isn't for Clowes at all, whose work I completely adore. It's rather with the abysmal resolution of the graphics in the kindle version. All sorts of pixilation and haloing. Is this really the level of quality one should expect of graphic novels in Kindle format?
