5.0 out of 5 stars Do not miss this one August 4, 2011

By JOHN N RING

Format:Paperback

A sleeper hit and one of the best things Marvel's producd in the last year, five years, whatever. Rios gives us astounding detail, but in powerful, fluid motion. That motion is the difference between a comics artist and just an artist drawing comics. Top talent DeConnick steers the ship, conjuring compelling characters and motivations within Rios's spinning, crawling madhouse, creating monsters who happen to be people too.

Of all 2010's superhero joints, this one provides a combination that you're unlikely to find elsewhere in the genre: fresh ideas, fresh characters, and art that makes you sit up and take notice immediately. Would you necessarily expect this from a mini-series capping the story of the over-exposed villain from Marvel's summer "event"? And yet, here it is.

If you buy Marvel comics and you don't own this one, it's time to fix that. You won't regret it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Big Ideas for Superhero Comics April 6, 2013

The skinny is:

Overall I would give this comic about 2.5 stars out of 5. It wrestles with a lot of big ideas and is more thought-provoking that 98% of superhero comics. However it is too ambitious with all the topics it wants to cover in the limited space it has and therefore some ideas suffer. Osborn: Evil Incarcerated does successfully paint Osborn in a new more morally complex light without departing from the core character feature of him being pure evil. I would recommend this comic to anyone looking for deeper superhero comics with the caveat that some of the ideas will fall flat.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not interesting to me July 23, 2012

By danny boy

Format:Paperback

I would think that the premise for a Norman Osborn in jail series would be worth reading. Sorry but the artwork here is just palin (correct sp) awful. I could not get past the ugly drawings to savour any storyline here.
