The fantastic investigative work is thrown to the garbage can by the lame love story, the one-dimensional characters and its terrible pacing.

A total blast of cinematic action and superhero deconstruction. Clever writing, complex characters, amazing drawing. Sometimes too pretentious, but it delivers more action than expected for superheroes with grey morals.

Another amazing book in the Book of Nod style, it delves profundly with the Wyrm and its most devious manifestations. It is a tough read if you are not familiar with the cosmology of Werewolf the Apocalypse RPG.

The best version of the DMG, it has plenty of useful information to create or add flavor to any campaign world.

The definition of Dark Fantasy. Period.

A nice accesory for creating insidious, slithering villains. The character choices are somehow poor, but the chapters about history and culture are outstanding.

The worst Da Vinci Code's rip off, only worth because it is written in a more cinematic way. The premises looked to be taken from one of Adam West-era Batman episodes, then add a lot of deus-ex-machina coincidences to forward the stale plot. It has some good ideas, but poorly developed. Also, it commits the same mistakes of DVC about interpretation of gnostic manuscripts, but takes the light investigation into epic proportions.

A very nice book about everything of Faerün's Underdark: races, prestige classes, magic, monsters, and a nice brief about the main cities and special places. Updates nicely all 2nd ed. Material.

An incredibly good horror story, it builds up mistery, horror and gore very nicely. However, the end was bad sci-fi badly attached to the rest of the tale, diminishing all the good setting and build.

A very tough read for a superhero tale, incredibly grandiose in scale snd full of gnostic symbolism. Incredibly, it's even harder to read than Morrison's Doom Patrol or The Invisibles. Nevertheless, it contains amazong plotlines and concepts.
