Description

Patti Smith's HorsesDescribed as the perfect fusion of poetry and garage band rock and roll (the original concept was rock and Rimbaud), Horses belongs as much to the world of literary and cultural criticism as it does to the realm of musicology. While Horses pays homage to the record's origins in the nascent New York punk scene, the book's core lies in a detailed analysis of Patti Smith's lyrics and includes discussions of lyrical preoccupations: love, sex, gender,

Described as the perfect fusion of poetry and garage band rock and roll (the original concept was rock and Rimbaud), Horses belongs as much to the world of literary and cultural criticism as it does to the realm of musicology. While Horses pays homage to the record's origins in the nascent New York punk scene, the book's core lies in a detailed analysis of Patti Smith's lyrics and includes discussions of lyrical preoccupations: love, sex, gender, death, dreams, god, metamorphosis, intoxication, apocalypse and transcendence. Philip shaw demonstrates how Horses transformed the possibilities of both poetry and rock music; and how it achieved nothing less than a complete and systematic derangement of the senses.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is presented a little better.
Format: Paperback
It takes cringe moments in the movie, and represents then better. The great Jedi Master Luke Skywalker is still portrayed as the pathetic, washed up, deadbeat hermit - but you begin feel sorry for him in this comic book presentation. A lot of it is narrated by Luke himself, and you feel his iner turmoil. Not to give spoilers for the few who missed the movie, story elements that bothered many fans are still there, Extracurricular parts, such as “your mama” jokes and getting green milk from the creature, is, thankfully, omitted.

This is a must read for fans to of Marvel Comics. Ultimate Wolverine is an awesome comic to read. Not spoil the plot if you have the ultimate weapon at your disposal. How would use it?

An interesting, if a little derivative, take on Wolvie’s origins
Format: Kindle
At this point Wolverine origin stories are a dime a dozen and they all will inevitably be held to the standard of the classic Barry Windsor-Smith Weapon X series and while this book tries to reach those heights, it doesn’t quite make it in terms of its writing, it does rival it in terms of art tho, which is nice. Again, another book I wish I could give half stars with because my rating for this book is closer to a 3.5 stars and it’s mostly carried by the art, but it’s leaning closer to the upper half of that rating so that’s why I went with 4. Regardless, my biggest issue comes from the fact that by and large it isn’t THAT different from the usual Wolvie origin story that was established in 616, the whole concept of Logan being the Winter Soldier isn’t used to its fullest potential because (spoilers) it’s tragically short lived, as he is back with this universe’s equivalent of the 616 X-Men by the end of Issue #6; I will say that what little there is of him being the Winter Soldier is cool as hell thanks to Cappuccio's artwork. Seriously, that is the best part of the book: Alessandro Cappuccio's artwork. I loved him on Moon Knight and I love him here, he is a master of delivering high impact artwork whenever it’s needed. Overall it’s a solid book that didn’t take much advantage of its interesting new premise before returning to status quo, but it’s at least carried by some killer artwork.
