75% amazing, 25% mediocre, three-quarters great storytelling and art and the other quarter just disappointing. The Marvel Knights portion of this collection is perhaps some of the worse would-be comic storytelling ever, and the art is a some of the worst anime one could imagine.

This is it true believers, the end of the phenomenal Todd McFarlane/Peter David run on the Green/Grey Goliath. Including the most famous Wolverine/Hulk battle, classic graphic novel storytelling. Great story, great art, great all-around.

A tribute to a legend. Though fictional, Captain America's death is still a profound loss, a symbol of justice and freedom. This tome details the emotions of the citizens of the Marvel universe, as they progress through the stages of grieving, culminating in the Captain's moving funeral.

This omnibus collecting Ed Brubaker's run is by far the best collection to be released in the last 10 years. This phenomenal tale redefines what a graphic novel should be, moving, awe-inspiring and thrilling. This novel paints a portrait of a man who needs to be a symbol to many and a hero to all, yet with an underlying internal conflict.
This is a must read for anyone, period.
