5 out of 5 stars Excellent stories, great fun for all........2005-07-14

This 102-page, 7" x 5" mini-sized volume is a fantastic addition to any comic book collection, and fun entertainment for kids and adults alike. It contains five complete short stories inspired on the Cartoon Network's animated "Justice League Unlimited" (JLU) series. Matching the writing and artistic style of the show, the stories are filled with action-packed plots, clear and precise dialogues, detailed drawings, vivid colors, and tons of good humor, and each one showcases more than a handful of superheroes and villains, all straight out of the recently expanded lineup of characters on the series.
The stories included, which were originally published individually as monthly issues of the JLU magazine, are the following:
*JLU #1: Divide & Conquer - When Superman, Wonder Woman and Captain Atom suddenly go berserk and are unable to recall their actions later on, they decide to quit the League and go into hiding before they end up hurting someone. It's up to Batman, Zatanna, Hawkgirl and Flash to discover what or who is behind their strange behavior.
*JLU #2: Poker Face - Superman, Flash, Huntress, Steel and Booster Gold's Poker Night in the League's Watchtower gets interrupted when they receive a report that the Royal Flush Gang is breaking havoc in Las Vegas, and it's up to them to protect the city that's so famous for its casinos, Elvis sightings and Marilyn Monroe impersonators.
*JLU #3: Small Time - When Atom mysteriously materializes on top of the Watchtower's meeting room table, looking seriously ill and battered, is up to him, Wonder Woman, Ice and Firestorm to fight off the new threat of microscopic invaders from another dimension that he has just discovered.
*JLU #4: Local Hero - Batman, Superman, Martian Manhunter and Elongated Man are celebrating on the Planet Rann after helping Adam Strange put away the evil conqueror Kanjar Ro. But Salaan, a young Rannian, doesn't believe that the planet needs an alien as its guardian, so he steals an old Adam Strange costume and frees Kanjar Ro to make his point by proving that he alone can recapture him. When the villain proves too much for Salaan, it's up to the local hero and the members of the League to capture him before he makes Salaan pay for his foolishness with his life.
*JLU #5: Monitor Duty - Blue Beetle seems bored out of his mind while on monitor duty at the Watchtower almost five hours before his shift ends and Green Lantern's begins. After trying some snacks, some costume swapping, some ego surfing on the net, and some casual chatting with other JLU members, a strange noise draws his attention to an intruder. The General, who had to be taken on by the whole JLU team the last time he was captured, was left in deep space as punishment for his deeds, but has just come back seeking revenge. It's up to Blue Beetle to stop this seemingly invincible menace on his own or perish in the effort.
Although this title is advertised as a graphic novel for kids, it's an enjoyable read for everyone who likes comics and the characters of the DC universe, particularly if they are also fans of the show. It's also a healthy tool, free of the needless violence and gruesomeness so familiar to comic books today, with which to set an example for kids on the real meaning of friendship, teamwork, conviction, trust, sacrifice and other values and ideals embodied by the League's superheroes.
Whether you buy this delightful little title for yourself or for your kids, you won't be disappointed.

      No matter one's area of expertise - there is always someone better. I thought I was expert on Sherlock Holmes. Jess makes me look like a piker.

      And later on in the Alan Moore Interview - Jess gets Alan Moore to demolish my Nemo theory.

      Ouch!

      The essays are also worth reading.

      Buy this book for those who must own the DVD.

      The great comic book The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was packed with references to literature from the Victorian era. Some of these books are famous, some of them are obscure. Jess Nevins has done an excellent job of tracking down the books, so now you can know the history of these characters, many of which have been forgotten one hundred years later. For instance, I don't think too many people knew who "Rose Coote", the headmistress of the girl's school, was. Well, in this book, you can learn the history of that character, as well as every other character who is so much as mentioned in the comic. By the way, I met Jess at the San Diego Comic Con, and he said he is working on an Encyclopedia about the League. From what he said, it will be around a thousand pages long, so start saving your money now.

      5 out of 5 stars Excellent companion piece!.......2003-07-06

      For any true fan of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (the comics, not the film), this is the book to purchase. The League is not only a wonderful story, but is also filled to the brim with references and images from other Victorian fictions of the same era. Some references are quite obvious, many are obscure, but all test your intelligence and literary know-how. There is a certain satisfaction in identifying a character on a page from a book you read years ago. Jess Nevins has collected all the annotations of these reference points contained in the first volume of LOEG. Reading it is a great enhancement to the already considerable enjoyment to be found in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen!

      This graphic novel collects Justice League #3, 6, and 10-12. These stories are a long way from the unneccessarily gorey, curse-word filled original DC Universe where Batman is an insane, pompous jerk. By far the best of the stories is "Wolf's Clothing", although ALL the stories are great. If you're looking for Justice League stories that are enjoyable by kids as well as adults, this is the book for you.

      Long live the DCAU!

      5 out of 5 stars Time travel with a baseball glove.......2001-09-04

      The beauty of Hank Davis' book is that it operates on several levels at once -- as only the best works can.

      On the surface, Small Town Heroes is the story of an older guy with enough spare time and discretionary income to get in his car and truck around eastern North America checking out minor league baseball teams. Players, managers, mascots, front office people, concession workers -- each has a story to tell. These stories interweave to form the tapestry that is minor league baseball today.

      On a deeper level, Davis' investigations facilitate the contemplation of bigger issues, beginning with the realization that, ultimately, all travel is time travel. It is fascinating to watch Davis collide head on with (friendly) ghosts from his middle 20th century childhood even as he encounters a new generation of "instant" stadiums hastily assembled from the remnants of discarded beer cans.

      Deeper still is the responsibility of an emerging generation of elders to preserve and protect that indigenously North American optimism that baseball has always represented and that minor league baseball today can help us preserve. Our heritage was never predicated on the whims of spoiled brat millionaires and self important corporate moguls in luxury sky boxes. As Davis points out time and again, relief from such nonsense is only as far away as your local minor league ballfield.

      My only regret is that Davis' book cannot go on forever and cover every location. As both a Royals/Golden Spikes and CWS fan, I would enjoy Davis' perspective on Omaha's precious Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium.

      Meanwhile, anyone afflicted with parents, spouses or others irritated by "valium ball" who routinely admonish you to "grow up" and burn your bats and gloves so you can get out in the back yard and build them a new patio -- you need only hand those offenders a copy of Small Town Heroes and let Davis show them why such requests cannot and must never be granted.

      Finally, if you're a "Field of Dreams" fan, consider this to be a book about multiple successful examples of the "if you build it, they will come" scenario.

      This is an excellent read from start to finish. Davis really captures the essence of the minor league experience from the perspective of players, employees and fans. Baseball fans will love it, and non-fans will still be caught up in the many personalities profiled here.

      5 out of 5 stars (POP!) ...and you can tell that one goodbye!.......1999-09-13

      Well, beat the drum and hold the phone-the sun came out today! We're born again, there's new grass on the field.........Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine, watchin' it from the bench............. Hank Davis has a hit! Reading Small-Town Heroes gives one much the same feeling as listening to Fogerty belting out Centerfield.

      Davis does an excellent job of exposing the heart, soul, and emotions of those immersed in making a minor league team a reality. The struggle of emotions and the psychic battles faced by players, managers, coaches, mascots, fans, vendors, and other personnel involved in making the game "come off" are, many times, missed by the typical fan. Davis puts you "in the head" of the new kid just getting off the bus in eastern Tennessee and guides you through his experiences and journies. He then leads you on an expedition of the mind, emotions, and ego of the 27-year-old coming down from The Show for a last trip through the minors.

      Davis's style makes you cheer for guys and teams that you have never seen-nor, in many instances, heard of. You feel the sense of urgency in getting the next hit or lowering the ERA with the next strike out. You feel the humanity of men ready become superstars as well as those about to plunge into "the agony of defeat". Hank Davis distinguishes and translates the subtleties of conversation in the dugout and batting practice that are concealed or ambiguous for most. His understanding and empathy flow clearly and vividly through to the pages of Small-Town Heroes.

      Hank Davis leaves the reader with his opinion of the state of the baseball, and the minors in particular. He has an explicit assessment and is not hesitant about sharing it. He is the kind of guy I would like to sit next to and share a beer with at Graniger Stadium in Kinston, North Carolina on a hot August night!

      Tours of small towns, minor league parks, and geography are accurately and realistically portrayed for the reader. Local flavor, as illustrated by Davis, can almost be seen, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt. He presents all the characters-those not likely seen by a visitor and those taken for granted by the locals. From "Mom" and the "Mountain Man" to the groupies, mascots, ground crew, hotel desk clerks, waitresses, and guards-"the whole cast"--Davis introduces you to each. Others have attempted tours similar to Davis only to commit error after error-Davis gets a hit!

      5 out of 5 stars Great look at life in the Minor Leagues!.......1999-05-11

      Hank Davis has done a marvelous job in this view of life in (and around) the minor leagues. His sense of humor comes through many times. This was probably the easiest reading book of this length (354 pages)that I've encountered. It just flows! One of the things that I liked most about the book was not only the liberal use of photographs, but their placement. Every photo was within a page of the corresponding verbage. In summary, I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Each and every page was interesting, entertaining, or informative. As a visitor to approximately 30 minor league parks myself, Davis enabled me to "revisit" many of those parks. Job well done, Mr. Davis!

        Every Major League town has its favorite sons, but only one from each city gets to be the Hometown Hero. Published in conjunction with Major League Baseball, Hometown Heroes presents the game’s most outstanding players as selected by you, the fans. Beautifully illustrated, this must-have book is a celebration of the best of the best.

        Millions of voters whittled a list of 150 nominees down to thirty Hometown Heroes, one for each team. The players selected represent the finest ever to wear their team’s uniform. This is the pantheon of baseball legends–Aaron, Ryan, Clemente, Schmidt, Ripken, and Seaver, among others. They are the men whose remarkable legacies were forged the moment they first took to the diamond, and were assured the moment they hung up their cleats to assume a position among the all-time greats. All 150 finalists are profiled here–career highlights, statistics, amazing photographs, fabulous tidbits, and other features.

        For more than a century, baseball fans have debated endlessly which players have earned the right to be called the finest of the sport. Hometown Heroes pays tribute to the cream of the crop.
