Wizard gave this bad boy spot #2 on their best graphic novels of all time. I highly disagree, Marvels is better than DC: The New Frontier by a long shot. This novel is the most realistic superhero comic ever created. What would all of us puny humans have to say about all these superhero's destroying our property in fist fights?

Following the life of a New York City reporter, this graphic novel shows humanity's reaction to the mighty superheroes that walk Marvel Earth.
The story is wonderful for several reasons. The most obvious is Alex Ross' artwork, which gives a very realistic look to a ... Read More
