Crow: The Dead Time

Summary: What a disappointment
Review: I bought this book wanting more of want I got in the first volume of The Crow and all I got was utter disappointment. To make something great you need to spend time with it and none was given to this book. The Crow in this book lacks in so many different areas I dont have enough room to even list them all. The number one lacking area of the Crow is the underdevelopment of his relationship to his loved ones, which helps the reader connect with the crow and want the revenge the crow needs to find peace. In the first Crow book the memories of the love fueled the fire of anger and revenge for Eric, but for Joshua, the new Crow, has none except for the actual killing of his family which happens over a century ago. Oh and have I mentioned the actwork in the book is sub-par in comparision to that of James O'bara. Thank god the third volume has a better story line, more development, but not enough, and the artwork is increasingly improved, but by the same artist. I must say that if I had never read the first volume then this book probably would have scored higher in points with me.

Summary: Not bad, but not really up to par
Review: I thought the art was reasonably well-done, though it ain't James O'Barr's drawing. The story wasn't all that bad, pretty original, but it seemed kinda stupid to me. I mean, Confederate soldiers reincarnated as a biker gang. Not really all that far-fetched, but why would the Crow wait that long? I mean, let's look at our past Crows...one year, months, weeks, days, same day... I guess, revenge requires a sense of timing too, though it really didn't work for me. I also didn't feel a lot of the emotion I felt with O'Barr's story. I guess, I'm so used to the lyricism and poetics of the original, that anything less just seems like crap to me. Anyway, this book is work a look, but I honestly do not think that any Crow comic will ever be as good as the original.

Summary: Tragic and beautiful
Review: O'barr does it again. This book has it all- beautiful art and poetry (not to mention the storyline). If you loved the original crow, you'll love this. Nuff said.

Summary: A great book, but nothing like the first one.
Review: The book is great. A very good story, and the design and drawings fit perfectly in it. But even though I liked it a lot, I can't say it's better than the first one. If you're a Crow die-hard fan as I am, you sure want this book. If you're not, buy it anyway. I'm sure you're gonna like it.

Summary: Great read even if you know nothing about it
Review: This book is an excellent read based on the comic by J. O'Barr The Crow saga continues in this new story of in which a Crow warrior is awakened 100 years later to get revenge for the injustices done to him and his family.

Summary: cool book, but strange to the crow
Review: This book was a good series, but it was hard to understand and figure out how the crow and the enemies come back 130.years later so that Joshua could have revenge, I mean was the crow tied up for 130 years and joshua was just on a waiting list for that time, but still, cool book and I am still wanting to know where the hell is waking nightmare#2 and whats taking so long

Rating:
Summary: This took quite a bit of imagination
Review: This is an OK comeback for The Crow. It would take some imagination because to think of a Crow that would come back 130 yrs. later to take revenge on his killers' descendants!
