Molto divertente anche se, a tratti, un po' ripetitivo, ma mi ha riportato indietro nel tempo!

Adulthood Is a Myth (Sarah's Scribbles, #1) by Sarah Andersen

Adulthood Is a Myth by Sarah Andersen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wonderful. Nobody till now was able to sum up so fast and funny what does being adult mean. She is actually one of my favorite author ever.

Bellissimo. Nessuno fino ad ora secondo me, era riuscito a riassumere in modo cosí completo e divertente cosa significhi veramente essere adulto. Da una delle mie scrittrici preferite.

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: A Spoon Too Short by Arvind Ethan David, Ilias Kyriazis (Contributor)

Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency: A Spoon Too Short by Arvind Ethan David

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Even if I usually love Douglas Adams, this comics is not so funny. It would have been better for me to read the books first, maybe.

Anche se di solito sono una fan di Douglas Adams, questo fumetto non mi ha divertito poi tanto, forse sarebbe stato meglio leggere prima il libro, giusto per sapere cosa mi aspettava.

Fight Club 2 (Graphic Novel Omnibus) by Chuck Palahniuk, Cameron Stewart, David W. Mack (Illustrations)

Fight Club 2 by Chuck Palahniuk
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Tyler Durden is back, take care and enjoy. I really loved this comic, crazy and idiot as it is. Chuck Palahniuk is inside also, and he doesn't make a really good impression ;) but still. If you loved Fight Club, you also get a different ending for the book (and the movie of course).

Tyler Durden é tornato, quindi attenzione e buon divertimento. Mi é davvero piaciuto questo folle e idiota seguito di Fight Club. Anche Chuck Palahniuk fa parte dei personaggi e non ci fa una gran bella figura oltretutto ;) Se avete amato Fight Club, alla fine del fumetto c'é anche disegnato un finale alternativo per il libro (e il fim ovviamente).

How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman (Goodreads Author), Fábio Moon (Illustrations), Gabriel Bá (Illustrations)

How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Since my first meeting with Gaiman I've always wondered how can somebody even start to think about half of the things he wrote, I mean this time two boys go to a party and they try to pick up a universe and a poem....seriously? Still this is one of the best comic I read this year, so have a try at that.

È dal mio primo incontro con Gaiman che continuo a chiedermi come faccia a ideare almeno la metá delle cose che scrive, voglio dire che stavolta ha scritto un fumetto in cui due ragazzi cercano di rimorchiarsi rispettivamente un universo ed un poema....come ha potuto anche solo pensarci? Eppure resta uno dei fumetti migliori che ho letto quest'anno quindi se vi capita dategli un'occhiata.

Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City by Dennis O'Neil (Editor), Michael Marano, Alan J. Porter , Jake Black, Chris Robertson, W. Barr, Mary Borsellino, Paul Lytle , Daniel M. Kimmel, Alex Bledsoe, John C. Wright

Batman Unauthorized: Vigilantes, Jokers, and Heroes in Gotham City by Dennis O'Neil
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Different views of Batman, since his first apparition on Detectve Comics from the pen (pencils) of Bob Kane till now. Experts talk of the differences between the first Batman and, mostly, Miller's Batman (Return of the Dark Knight). All the different Robin: Dick Grayson (who has his own comics right now and it's not so bad), the life, death and resurrection of Jason Todd and the actual Tim Drake. The father figures in Batman's life like Alfred, Commissioner Gordon and Ra's Al Ghul, who even stole the coffins of Bruce Wayne's parents. There is even a diagnosis following the DSM-IV and we have our vigilante declared an antisocial personality with a PTSD. What is missed are mostly his realtionships with women: Catwoman, Poison Ivy and Talia of course, who will give him Damian, Batman of the future. If you love Batman this is the book for you.

Differenti visioni di Batman, dalla sua prima apparizione su Detective Comics, dalle matite di Bob Kane fino ad oggi. Diversi esperti parlano delle differenze tra il primo Batman e, fondamentalmente, il Batman di Miller (Il ritorno del Cavaliere Oscuro). Tutti i vari Robin: da Dick Grayson, che ora gode di una serie di fumetti tutta per lui e non é neanche male; la vita, la morte e la " pessima" resurrezione di Jason Todd; l'attuale Tim Drake. Le varie figure paterne che si susseguono nella trama come per esempio Alfred, il commissario Gordon e anche Ra's Al Ghul, che arriva addirittura a rubare le bare dei genitori di Bruce Wayne. In un capitolo c'é anche la diagnosi di disturbo di personalitá antisociale con possibile Disturbo Post Traumatico da Stress, il tutto seguendo le linee guida del DSM-IV. In realtá quello che salta all'occhio é la quasi totale assenza delle donne nella vita di Batman: Catwoman, Poison Ivy e Talia, figlia di Ra's Al Ghul che gli dará anche un figlio: Damian, che prenderá poi il suo posto diventando il Batman del futuro. Se vi piace Batman, questo é il libro per voi.

Inheritance (The Cemetery Girl Trilogy, #2) by Charlaine Harris, Christopher Golden

Inheritance by Charlaine Harris

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I like this stories written by Charlaine Harris much more than her lasts books, so I hope the next installment gets out very soon because the story is getting better and better, with new and old characters that make all even more interesting.

Mi piacciono molto le storie che Charlaine Harris sta scrivendo per questi fumetti, per essere precisi mi piacciono decisamente molto di piú dei suoi ultimi libri con Sookie; a questo punto spero quindi che il nuovo numero esca presto perché la storia si é complicata e sono anche arrivati nuovi personaggi.

APB: Artists against Police Brutality: A Comic Book Anthology by Bill Campbell
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book is the perfect example to show that it is true that a picture is worth more than a thousand words and a few words are more useful than chitchat.

Questo libro é l'esempio perfetto per dimostrare come sia vero che un'immagine valga piú di mille parole e poche parole siano più utili di tante chiacchiere.

In Real Life by Cory Doctorow, Jen Wang

In Real Life by Cory Doctorow
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Nice comics about on line games, friendship and the power of the people when they get together. I like Doctorow, even if sometimes I have the impression that he lives in a different world than mine.

Fumetto carino sugli on line games, l'amicizia e il potere della massa. Doctorow mi piace quasi sempre, anche se a volte ho l'impressione che abiti in un mondo diverso dal mio.
