DC: The New Frontier: DC Compact Comics Edition

Great all around. From the individual back stories of all the MANY characters in this comic. I loved the blending of eras, the end of one, beginning of another. The old school way with everyone smoking and drinking. It was a great call back to that time in comic history and the new age that was upon us. Goes a little bit all over the place at the beginning trying to show a glimpse of what's been going on and how things are going and where they are leading. Just a great story arc in general. The art was so fantastic, I love the look that darwyn Cooke has in his stories. Looks like it's done in a very thin marker and its soooo hard to draw in markers. The dialogue and just the way the characters speak was done again so well. My favorite part is probably the john jonz stuff because it gives him a nice backstory and the way it intertwines and where was a touch of genius. Highly recommend this to any comic fan or fan of these ages in comics. Truly a all around masterpiece and think any comic fan would love and get a great deal of enjoyment and entertainment out of this entire comic.

Great price, great read, must have, DC fan or not.

"The New Frontier" by Darwyn Cooke is truly the BEST Justice League graphic novel run of all time!An absolute "must read" for any DC fan.

Written by the late Darwyn Cooke this sprawling epic the great league stories of our time. Every character has a something to do no matter how small their role is or how big it is from Hal Jordan’s call to action to become Green lantern, Barry finding his role in the world as Flash J’onn J’onzz finding and accepting his new home on earth as Martian Manhunter. All these story lines come together in the climax perfectly. With heavily political commentary on war, racism, and protecting the identity on how it effects people and how people change from those experiences to become better people and better hero’s to strive for a better tomorrow a new frontier.

Bought for my wife and she loves it

the story is a better experience over the film. i decided after seeing the film i wanted to see how much was cut out and you get a decent chunk of work and narrative that would've done the film more justice. darwyn cooke's style is an appreciated style, much like bruce timm's but more golden age touch into dark themes.the book itself in its condition, i am bugged by, my first initial pages had pages fused together and the prints faded.recommend checking over the book after getting it.

Starts as a slow burn introducing us to heroes before they become heroes, danger looms and they each shine through courage and bravery, until they all unite, to defeat an evil that threatens all mankind.

I was absolutely surprised. It is a perfect love letter to Dc comics and the silver age of comics.
