4.0 out of 5 stars Superman Guide --great intro for series., June 23, 2003

This review is from: Superman: The Animated Series Guide (Hardcover)

Being a fan of the Superman animated series, I was thrilled to see some a new book come out on this well-written show.

Regrettably, after a measly 52 episodes, WB decided not to produce any more episodes, and just last year DC also decided not to produce any more comics written in the Superman--Animated Series style.

This text is much more kid friendly than Mr. McCloud's other DC Books on the regular DC DK books (Batman, having a few strong illustrations that might be a bit much for the younger crowd).

I was rather surprised at the smaller size of the text, but loved the well-chosen illustrations and text, culled from both the series and short-lived comic book.

An excellent guide to the series, which hopefully can get some more kids and viewers into the show which will be replayed on the Cartoon Network.

I hope Mr. McCloud can continue to do books on Batman Beyond and in a few years, the Justice League (when that particular series has accumulated more episodes).

Still, I wish a few more pages could have included an episode guide to the series, and to the comic book done in that style

Heartily recommend.

Sincerely,

JThree

This review is from: Superman: The Animated Series Guide (Hardcover)

My 5 year old son loves Superman and loves this book. He loves to peruse the pages, picking out his favorite characters and sections. This is a fun book for younger kids and not nearly as dark as the DC comic Ultimate Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for fans, June 9, 2006
