Life On Another Planet

Summary: "Another Planet" Review
Review: A signal comes in from space. Are we alone? Full of espionage, intrigue and classic Will Eisner art, this is a gem for any collection, and great reading in graphic novel format (from the father of graphic novels). Two thumbs up on this one.

Summary: Eisner explores alien life waay before the X-files were born
Review: From the genius mind of Will Eisner comes what could/will actually happen when another life-form contacts Earth. He explores the many different ways people will react and treat each other when an occurance like this happens. The book reads like you're watching a movie. Well planned out, and almost too close reality for comfort. Excellent illustrations, brilliant plot. A must for all sci-fi lovers, as well as comic lovers.

Summary: not eisner's best
Review: It's like a 60's science fiction movie. Will Eisner's science here is awful. There are spelling mistakes (Bernard, Barnard) and basic terminology mistakes (year, light-year) BUT his human interactions are amazing, and his panel breakdowns are the best (at least most complex) out of any his stuff that I've seen. (I haven't had the opportunity to read many of his later Spirit stories.) His best work is to be found elsewhere (check out his brand-new full-length hardcover book from DC for a trip), but this book is certainly good. Lots of intrigue, politics, spies, murders, humor, and that's where he shines. And it's pretty cheap, so check it out!
