Desperate, masturbatory nonsense - By: The Reviewer, 10 Aug 2008 
I was extremely disappointed with this twaddle. Perhaps if I was 12 years old I would have enjoyed it. Its not the pornographic nature of the story & senseless violence - I'm definitely no prude, but all the characters were zero dimensional. I didn't care what happened to them. Shame, as I heard a lot of good things about Mark Millar. (I hope) this was an attempt by him to write something mass market - clearly successfully, but at the expense of a story, taste, interesting characters, exciting fight scenes - & an all important decent ending. I found absolutely no re-read potentialin this whatsoever. This was probably a short story at best.
Disappointing - By: A. Kaye, 03 Jul 2008 
I was looking forward to reading this & I haven't yet seen the film but I was left very let down. The story is intriguing & the artwork is excellent & I get the point of the story ( wishing you were someone else/somewhere else etc ) but at the end of the story the characters are very one-dimensional, you don't really care for them & whether they succeed or fail. The story is pretty hollow & it just never really goes anywhere. Shame.
Above standard artwork .... Sub-par and weak storyline - By: A. Cresswell, 27 Jun 2008 
The book comes as a bit of a surprise as it's the artwork that is exceptional & the story is what lets it down. Additionally the book or rather the story finishes 3/4 of the way through. The rest of the book is editors commentary , artwork, snapshots, synopsis of various things. In other words it's bulked out :(
how to be a super villain - By: Paul Tapner, 26 Mar 2008 A collected edition of a comic mini series [telling a complete story over six issues] about wesley gibson. an average man leading a downtrodden life wesley thinks he should be doing far more. his life is turned upside down one day when a lady reveals to him that he is the son of a supervillain, & that a group of them secretly rule the world. Wesley gets the chance to followin his late father's footsteps & become far morein control of his life than before. but will other supervillains let him live happily ever after?
And just who did kill his father?
This comic is strictly for adults only, language violence & the like making it such. And as a result it is not for the easily offended.
But it's never as gratuituous as it could be. the point of is not about wesley getting to be bad, it's about him taking control of his life. & the book does gets this point over well. It's a hugely entertaining read, thanks to great characterisation & plotting, & it does make you think.
The artwork from JG Jones is superb.
The collection also contains the wanted dossier, a one off comic originally published separately. this shows a lot of the covers & original art from the series & design for the characters & the like. this section is an interesting read, showing how it was all put together.
A good read. a real guilty pleasure
