Great story and art.......2007-05-05

The story time in with Marvel Zombies was outstanding, even better than the actual Marvel Zombies stories. And the last chapter with Namor was a nice re-imagining for that character. Greg Land is one of the best artists working today, right up there with Carlos Pacheco and Alex Ross.

zombies and FF?!? sign me up..........2007-02-02

i love the ultimate fantastic four. i love the original fantastic four, who can never be replaced but i like the twist of them being young teens in the ultimate universe. it just seems to make sense. anyway this volume started off the whole marvel zombie craze. a must-read.

Presenting the gastronomical exploits of the Frightful Four..........2006-12-10

I feel a little guilty about admitting this, but I derive so much more enjoyment from the ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR series than I do from the mainstream Marvel Universe version. The Ultimate concept of rehashing the comic book venerables into fresher, more exciting reincarnations is, frankly, more appealing. And, yes indeedy, the ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR, VOLUME 5: CROSSOVER trade paperback is yet another awesome exercise in freshness and excitement.

This collection reprints ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR #21-26, which includes two awesome story arcs. The first story arc consists of young Reed Richards's harrowing adventures as he foolishly ends up in an alternate universe in which all the resident super-heroes have been zombified and "food" has run out. This story arc is what gave rise to the very popular MARVEL ZOMBIES mini-series. But, here, young Reed runs afoul of an older, more powerful version of himself, as well as horrifically altered versions of Sue, Ben, and Johnny. With the zombie Richards being uncontrollably ravenous for flesh, and twice as old as young Reed, being, therefore, "almost certainly ten times as smart," is there any doubt that it's only a matter of time before he has his way with the more naive Mr. Fantastic and gains entry to a new universe filled with bipedal snacks? The second storyline deals with the return of a member of the Storm family long thought dead and the debut of Ultimate Namor, resurrected from hibernation after thousands of years, who is initially believed to be an enlightened Atlantean monarch but turns out to be...not.

The vibe and energy exuding from these pages are palpable. This TPB is certainly rife with epic encounters. Writer Mark Millar treats his audience with more cool ideas, neat twists, and fun facts (for example, we learn that, with his power of malleability, Reed's elastic brain causes him to grow ever more intelligent as he can literally "warp" his mind around a problem). The zombie universe has rapidly become a fan favorite, while the advent of the not-so-noble Ultimate Namor was only a matter of time. Certainly, the old classics are touched on again: a rather abrupt face-off between the Thing and Hulk (who, here, is the "hungriest of all"), as well as the destructive donnybrook between Sub-Mariner and the Fantastic Four fondly recall to mind the original encounters as enlivened by Stan Lee and "King" Kirby. And lest folks forget that this Ultimate version of Susan Storm is nearly as brilliant as Mr. Fantastic, Millar offers several scenes which demonstrates the fact. Susan Storm proves yet again that, in this universe, she, not Reed Richards, is the born leader and, certainly, she can be the most forthright and aggresive personality of the bunch.

Phenomenal artist Greg Land begins his 12-issue run here with "Crossover" and later ends it, aptly enough, with the "Frightful" story arc. Land's contribution cannot be lauded enough. The glossy and wonderful photorealistic renderings he brings to the table nicely fleshes out Millar's writing, brings it to vibrant life. The fabulous artwork is, of course, enhanced by the solid inkwork of Matt Ryan and the textured colors of Justin Ponsor and Laura Martin. Oh, those pretty, pretty pictures. I never knew, for instance, that Sue Storm's mom would be so hot in her undies. And Land's dread depictions of the zombie Frightful Foursome elevate these dentally-challenged villains to a stalking, menacing ghoulishness. Land downright invokes a sense of hopeless desolation with his stark, torn images of the mostly inert zombie universe. I've never been a fan of Namor but I must admit that he certainly looks virile and despicably regal (if two such descriptives can be paired), utterly capable of world domination. Once again, great stuff by Greg Land and the rest of the art crew.

The only concern I have about this title is the constant change of writers and artists and what that might portend continuity-wise. I don't just mean continuity-wise in terms of the story arcs, but also in the look and feel of the series. The latest team to come on board comprises of Mike Carey and Pasqual Ferry, and they seem promising. So far, ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR doesn't seem to be negatively affected by the various writer/artist overhauls. It's still fresh and exciting. Let's keep it that way, huh?

Better.......2006-06-06

This is one of the better Ultimate Fantastic Four collections. Greg Land's art works well with the team, and the writing is great. This collection introduces us to Namor, who thanks to a little Ultimate tinkering is back to being a badass again. It also has a really cool story about a parallel universe in which all of the heroes have been infected by a virus that pretty much makes them zombies. The story involves them trying to get to the Ultimate universe to start the plague there. All in all, this was an enjoyable read.

George Romero Would Be Proud!.......2006-04-15

The Crossover story arc may not be earth shattering nor spin the reader's head around a grand cosmic epic that goes nowhere fast a la Infinite Crisis but just like Mark Millar's Spider-Man run, it is eccentric entertainment at its best. In today's comic book industry where mediocre writers desperately try to make a name for themselves *cough*Geoff Johns*cough*Devin Grayson*cough* by redesigning characters and their supporting cast as well as needlessly attempting to shock the audience, many of them have forgotten that a super-hero comic is first & foremost, an action and adventure genre. Seriously, how long before a writer tries to retcon the Spider-Man mythos with Ben Parker having sexually abused Peter because he or she wants to leave their 'stamp' on the character?

As for the Tomb Of Namor story line, it also possesses a blockbuster film experience. In the original 616 universe, The Sub-Mariner has changed and transformed so much in the last twenty years that he's become stale. Namor has become sane to insane and then back to normal so often that Marvel should bill him as the first Bi-Polar Mutant. Fortunately, Millar goes back to the roots of the character and constructs a modern spin on Bill Everett's creation. A lot of people have no idea that in his initial appearance in Marvel Comics #1, Namor is a violent killer. In his debut appearance in Ultimate Fantastic Four, The Sub-Mariner is also aggressively sadistic which paves the way for one heck of a slugfest. The type that the Silver Age Marvel comics were renowned for...

I have never figured Greg Land to be an artist who can convey the intensity of a battle or physical conflict but he definitely proves me wrong with the Tomb Of Namor story arc. His photo-realistic style lends well to what the script calls for in portraying the characters' emotional states but their magazine cover poses do tend to get annoying at times.

While Stan Lee & Jack Kirby's Fantastic Four version will always remain the authentic one, I really enjoyed this new take on their concept by writer Mark Millar, artist Greg Land and inker Matt Ryan. Mark Millar went back to the core of what made The Fantastic Four unique and enjoyable. That is, outlandish adventures as well as bigger than life action that challenge the limits of our imagination.

It was ok.......2005-08-02

To be honest The only part a realy enjoy was the batman's stories because I'm a huge batman's fan that doesn't mean I didn't read the other stories, they were ok but maybe if you like GEN 13, GEN X, etc... you could enjoy the comic more than me. So I just can say is: you can spend a good time reading this comic.

A so-so book.......2003-07-16

The stories really good are only Batman-SpiderMan and Team X - Team 7... the others are so "light" that don't deserve to be mentioned. A thing to see is Superman eating (something you don't see a lot in comics). The stories of Gen13 looks like Beverly Hills 90210 with superpowers and don't even has good supervillians. Don't waste your money, if you want to read it, better borrow it.

In Case You Were Wondering.......2002-04-25

this collection contains Superman/Hulk, Spider-Man/Batman, Daredevil/Batman, Gen13/Spider-Man, GenX/Gen13, and Team X/Team 7. Not a bad collection, and plenty of pages make it worthwhile, since most of these books were prestige format, it would probably cost well over 30 dollars to buy the individual books.

Graphic SF Reader.......2007-09-03

The Crossover Classics first volume is indeed, that. We see Superman and Spider-Man - how is that for a mismatch? Ouch! Easily this best part of this collection however, is the New Teen Titans and the X-Men story, that is most definitely entertaining, and what you want to see from one of these inter-company crossover type stunts.

Like the other guy said.......1999-03-06

This book collects the first four DC/Marvel crossover stories and comprises 2 Superman/Spider-Man stories, Batman/Hulk, and X-Men/New Teen Titans. They're all excellent stories. Superman vs. Spider-Man while seems a silly story by today's standards is actually very entertaining and fun. Both of them really shine. It kind of set how crossover books are to be done though, heroes who don't know each other fight and then realize they've been duped then team-up against common foes. The second Supes/Spidey story is more on the serious side and somewhat better than the first but I felt Jim Shooter (the writer) tried to cram a lot of stuffs by including subplots and Wonder Woman and Hulk appearing. For those not in the know, it is in this story that contains the first ever battle between Superman and the Hulk. The third story is perhaps the most mismatched heroes, Batman vs. the Hulk. It sometimes feels more like a Batman story rather than a true Batman/Hulk story because of its tendency to shine more on you-know-who. Oh, and Bats practically beat the Hulk, you just got to read it to find out how. Lastly, the best of the crossover classics would have to be X-Men/New Teen Titans. Two of comicdom's favorite teams against the most dangerous villains of the DC and Marvel Universes: Darkseid and Dark Phoenix. Combine that with an excellent Chris Claremont story and you got a winner. Nuff said.

Excellent crossovers!.......1998-04-25

The stories collected in this book are before the comic book industry allowed money to be the sole purpose for publishing comics. The stories are written and drawn by comic book legends from the two greatest comic book publishers: DC and Marvel. I can read these stories over and over again. If you are into reading good comic book stories, then buy this book.

Book Description

Why and how does the appeal of certain male Hollywood stars cross over from straight to gay audiences? Do stars lose their cachet with straight audiences when they cross over? In Gay Fandom and Crossover Stardom Michael DeAngelis responds to these questions with a provocative analysis of three famous actorsâJames Dean, Mel Gibson, and Keanu Reeves. In the process, he traces a fifty-year history of audience reception that moves gay male fandom far beyond the realm of âcampâ to places where culturally unauthorized fantasies are nurtured, developed, and shared.
DeAngelis examines a variety of cultural documents, including studio publicity and promotional campaigns, star biographies, scandal magazines, and film reviews, as well as gay political and fan literature that ranges from the closeted pages of One and Mattachine Review in the 1950s to the very âoutâ dish columns, listserv postings, and on-line star fantasy narratives of the past decade. At the heart of this close historical study are treatments of particular film narratives, including East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, The Road Warrior, Lethal Weapon, My Own Private Idaho, and Speed. Using theories of fantasy and melodrama, Gay Fandom and Crossover Stardom demonstrates how studios, agents, and even stars themselves often actively facilitate an audience’s strategic blurring of the already tenuous distinction between the heterosexual mainstream and the gay margins of American popular culture.
In addition to fans of James Dean, Mel Gibson, and Keanu Reeves, those interested in film history, cultural studies, popular culture, queer theory, gender studies, sociology, psychoanalytic theory, melodrama, fantasy, and fandom will enjoy this book.

A Great Primer for Teachers, Parents, and Counselors!.......2002-01-18

This book serves as a great primer for a mostly unheard of, frequently misunderstood learning condition. Many consider these bright, academically underachieving kids a conundrum. Many are labeled unmotivated, lazy, or troublemakers. The children are bored, confused, or unable to organized themselves enough to succeed in today's classrooms. People who are involved with children in schools, or parents who just "know" that there is just something wrong or different about their bright child who is doing poorly in school should read this book! The book by Susan Baum is also exceptional.

Awesome defined........2005-10-20

This is a GREAT collection, a sign of things that SHOULD come about with more frequency, and more relevance to both universes. My personal favorite story in this book was Sliver Surfer/Green Lantern. Not only was the story great, but it also "worked". It was totally beleivable as an event spanning two universes, which the other stories in this book fail to do. They simply....place everyone in the same universe. Silver Sufer/Green Lantern actually describes a plausible scenario for everyone to be interacting. It should be in the continuity of both universes (but, is ignored, unfortunately).

If only DC and Marvel could team up to do a monthly series about universe-spanning threats.

Lots of Galactic Heralds... .......2005-08-09

I haven't gotten the other crossover books yet but this one was decent. It isn't earthshattering but the combination of entities goes relatively smooth.

The first story deals with GL Kyle Rayner , Silver Surfer , and Thanos among others. Kyle is in the time period of still being relatively new to the Ring , and Hal Jordan has a point in this issue as Parallax.

The second story has Batman and Spiderman teaming up to deal with the Kingpin and R'as Al Ghul. I felt Spiderman's comedic tone was great around Batman in this story.

The third story deals with Darkseid and Galactus. I'm quite interested in the Darkseid character and his interaction with Galactus is very good. Orion has a fierce battle with Silver Surfer and they give that one a definative winner.

The final story deals with Galactus , Superman , Cyborg , and the Fantastic Four. Cyborg , Galactus , and Silver Surfer are characters that cross over multiple stories in this book. Galactus and Cyborg get a nifty send-off from the Fantastic Four plus Supes. One neat point about the Fantastic Four is that the young child has toys and fanfare of Superman that I remember seeing in issues other then this one.

Overall I thought it was an enjoyable book and the price was good. Hope this review helps because the other ones have basic descriptions and this one didn't.

Book Description

Buffy and Angel find themselves launched into a frightening reality where fierce dragons and other fairy-tale monstrosities rule supreme. Once they locate each other, they rally the missing teens -- including Salma -- and attempt to make their way through the interdimensional portal back to Sunnydale. Little do they know that two unlikely allies have also come through to alternity: Spike and the rogue Slayer, Faith, both with their own respective -- and complicated -- MOs.

Back in L.A., gang violence and vigilantism are at a fever pitch. The Slayerettes -- now an extended unit -- are holding down the fort, awaiting Buffy and Angel's return. But Slayer and Vampire are feeling moral conflict that rivals the physical strain of demon-slaying: each wonders if a reality exists where their love could have survived. And when one of the duo's charges is suddenly killed, the portal to Sunnydale is sealed. Now, before they can worry about ridding their own universe of supernatural chaos, they've got to find a way to get back to it....

Super Reader.......2007-08-06

This line about sums this book up :

He looked grateful at the fantastic four, Slayer, Slayer, vampire, vampire. "Now you see why I'm glad you folks showed up."

Spike helps himself to a leap through the door, and when none of them come back, and no children are returned, Riley and Gunn go to break Faith out of jail to help, being all out of superpowers at their end.

So, the gang is most definitely all here in this book.

You'll need a seatbelt, this is one bumpy ride!.......2005-10-13

WOW! That was a whirlwind of chaos and loose ends never tied up.

I loved the first two books in this trilogy and couldn't wait to get my hands on the last book, the conclusion of what, until now, had been a great story.

Things kinda fell apart in this book. Okay ... not kinda. They totally fell apart.

The authors tried to pack so much into this one novel that it's almost impossible to keep up with without a map! It was rushed, and as a reader I felt it. It left me feeling winded and exhausted.

As others have mentioned, the continuity in this novel leaves much to be desired. There were storylines left unfinished, big ones.

Willow stops breathing and dies in one chapter, steps out of the room looking pale and ill and says to Cordy, "I feel dead," in another chapter, and then is her usual self in the rest of the book. It ends with no conclusion or even acknowledgment that it even occured at all. I kept waiting for Willow to go evil and betray them, or take some kind of unexpected action as a result of apparently dying, but nada.

Faith is thrown in the mix in a slick, almost after-thought manner that doesn't do her character justice. (And that says a LOT coming from me, because I'm not a Faith or Eliza fan.) She comes in and saves everyone, despite their obvious distrust, and then hugs Buffy and Angel before willingly going back to jail. She didn't even get a Thank You. It just didn't fly, it was never rang true or came to life for me.

And then there's Spike. I love this guy. Love the wit, the naughty undertone to his character and the huge heart he tries to hide. (Figuratively speaking, of course.) He's a great character, and provides great comic relief. But what in the world happened to him? What was the ending supposed to mean? The story ended with him, in his pre-vamp body, running like a coward and hurling himself into a light, begging for help.

Huh?

When this book ends, it leaves the reader feeling like the story is unfinished. They crammed too much into it and it got sloppy. They could've easily fleshed it out and added another novel to the series.

A disappointing ending to what had otherwise been a terrific story.

Didn't care for the characterizations.......2002-03-16

This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show. Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike. There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldn't be moved to care much. Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.

Loved it.......2002-03-15

I heard these were coming out, and it was approaching my birthday of last June, I got thise and play tickets from my mom after serious begging. She bought me them as soon as each one came out, funny thing is my best friend who doestn live at all close to me, got me the first one. But this is on the third one, it was a very well written book. The scenes between Buffy and Angel were pricless and touch the b/a shippers heart. A problem was of how much Buffy acted as if she loved Riley more than anything of the world, and Angel was past, why he dreamed about her and their forgotten day. Otherwise it is a good read, as a fan of either show, or the B/A or even b/r(gag) relationship. Just one thing to people who read my review or somethign that would never happen Nancy and Jeff read this, what the hell happend to Spike?! Is there a new crossover triogly in the making*looks hopeful*

Great Series.......2002-01-23

Nancy Holder deserves a huge Buffy fan award. Not only did her hardcover book, "Book of Fours," provide fans with one of teh Slayer's best stories, it fit logically into the Buffy-verse without taking many great leaps.

I'm not sure why she stopped writing with Christopehr Golden but I have no complaints. She blew his "Tales of the Lost Slayer" out of the water with this trilogy. It all fit neatly into the recent story lines of both Buffy and Angel (Seasons 4 / 2 respectively).

Book Description

In Los Angeles, Angel and Buffy compare notes and realize that both are dealing with cases of missing teenagers -- most of them children of the rich and powerful. Coincidence? They don't think so. But when Buffy checks in with Giles, she learns that prime-time doomsday has hit Sunnydale, taking precedence over the gang warfare in L.A.

Back in her hometown, Buffy finds the doorway through which the monsters are gaining all-access passes to our universe. Renegade scientists have discovered how to open the portals from one reality to the next, which could explain where the teens are hidden. But when you're operating near a hellmouth, opening dimensional portals is tricky business: you never know who -- or what -- you're going to attract. With the lives of the kidnapped teens and one dangerously talented young woman at stake, Buffy and Angel join forces to do battle in the uncharted dimension....

Door to Alternity.......2003-12-23

"Door to Alternity" continues the "Unseen" triligy with the connection between missing children in L.A. and monsters appearing in droves in Sunnydale becoming clearer. Team Angel and The Scobbie Gang are working harder than ever as they try to solve the mysteries and keep the monsters under control. Also the reason for all these strange occurences becomes clear; it dates back to a Cold War science experiment by the KGB to alter reality, all for the glory of the State. Now it is being used to try to blackmail prominant U.S. citizens to bring back the glory days. Also a gang war brakes out between the Mexican Mob and the Russians. All of this makes for a very complicated story, there is a lot going on. Sometimes it gets a little confusing, but never so bad you can't follow the story. It was ok, but certainly suffering from being the bridge book. You have a lot of information and set up for the last book.

Door to Alternity Review.......2002-03-17

I can't figure out what Salma is runnign from even tough i read books 2 and 3 of the crossover!!!

Complete waste of money!!!!!!!.......2002-01-21

The only reason im giving this book 2 stars is because of buffy good looks and willow"s magic powers but apart from that this story is bull theres too much talking and stuff going on and theres practicaly no action i thought buffy slayed demons but this is in about 5 places at once and its really confusing safe your money and get the best buffy book Tales Of The Slayer

Not the best, but has interesting moments..........2001-11-05

Mainly seems to be setting things up for the finale. Had some moments I found intriguing, and some interesting perspective on Buffy/Angel during the time of Buffy/Riley, but its nowhere near up to the level of the Christopher Golden/Nancy Holder collaborations.

Ok...but.........2001-09-17

the next book, the Long Way Home was better. I didn't buy The Burning, but I don't think I missed much. This book just wasn't very interesting to me. The Long Way Home wasn't even that great, but it was better than this book. It's missing something that I can't quite put my finger on.

Book Description

The first edition of Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials quickly became the standard reference on the subject and has remained so for more than 12 years.

Completely revised and updated, the long-awaited second edition of this classic text retains its predecessor's careful balance of theory and practice while incorporating new approaches, more data sets, and a broader scope. Enhancements in the second edition include: · A new chapter on bioequivalence · Recently developed methods for analyzing longitudinal continuous and categorical data · Real-world examples using the SAS system · A comprehensive catalog of designs, datasets, and SAS programs available on a companion Web site at www.crcpress.com The authors' exposition gives a clear, unified account of the design and analysis of cross-over trials from a statistical perspective along with their methodological underpinnings. With SAS programs and a thorough treatment of design issues, Design and Analysis of Cross-Over Trials, Second Edition sets a new standard for texts in this area and undoubtedly will be of direct practical value for years to come.

This was one great collection of super heroes and villians, featuring the super hero that stopped Bane which I nickname him BANE-DESTROYER knightsend BATMAN, Silver Surfer, SUPERMAN BAtman captain america and the punisher. I really liked all the battles and featuring a mini-battle between doomsday and hulk in which the hulk would have tore apart doomsday. I like all the art work and the great battles I hope that they make another collection like this in the feature.

Great book......but............2000-05-22

I thought that this comic book was a great collection of classic artwork combined with excellent writing. You probably have read some of the stories if you were really interested in crossover titles, but it's still worth having this comic book cos it brings together a lot of the stories in an almost episodic fashion. All in all it was a great comic book and thus rates 4 stars. I hope this helps!
