3.0 out of 5 stars Warren Stands Out, December 29, 2006

By	Mark Seemann (Copenhagen, Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In this book, Warren has drawn one of the issues contained within, and it's the only story that stands out. In his usual meta-textural, pop-cultural style, Warren treats us to the retrospective story of Gen 13 done as a TV documentary. Not only are the drawings just as amazing as Warren always does thiem, but the story has a lot of gags and is quite funny.

The rest of the stories are not drawn by Warren (only written by him), but the mediocre artists so distract from the story-telling that here, a couple of days after reading the book, I can't remember what they were about.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gen 13 returns to its roots: cheesecake., January 27, 2003

By	Tom Knapp "Rambles.NET editor" (Lancaster, PA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

It's possible that someone reading London * New York * Hell, the Gen 13 collection by Warren Ellis and Steve Dillon, might suspect the book of catering to readers who want an intelligent plot in their comics. Adam Warren dispels that notion with Superhuman Like You, the next collection of Gen 13 books.

Don't get me wrong, Warren knows his audience. No one subscribes to Gen 13 for awesome storytelling; that thing with Ellis was an aberration. The book is about skin, and that's why readers always come away from a Gen 13 book knowing what color Fairchild's undies are.
