No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra. 1177 ( ) Nimue tries in vain to prevent her sister from using Mordred to destroy Camelot. Then she tries in vain to help her friend in Kublai Khan's court (though she succeeds in making Marco Polo look like a hero). Then she tries in vain to help her friend Marie Antoinette. And then, she tries in vain to help her friends the whores stay safe from Jack the Ripper. Nimue, aka Madame Xanadu, just happens to be bff with every easily-recognizable historical figure ever. She is unfailingly morally perfect. She is an incredibly annoying character. The dialog is stilted and artificial, the plots ludicrous and over-used. The only thing this book has going for it is its art, which is very pretty. This was such a great graphic novel. Madame Xanadu is really Nimue the woman that put Merlin into sleep for thousands of years. It goes from time period to time period, hitting some of the most famous incidences in history. You also get an Etrigan/Jason Blood origin story, and a visit with Death from the Eternals. Madame Xanadu's frustration in dealing with the Stranger that keep reappearing is practically tangible in the illustrations. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
ContéPremis
Written by Matt Wagner Art by Amy Reeder Hadley & Richard Friend Cover by Amy Reeder Hadley "The fast pace [is] instantly immersive, as is Amy Reeder Hadley's finely detailed, complicated art, which is almost shockingly pretty. B+"- The Onion "This features lots of the fairies, magicians and medieval-style witchcraft in a style that evokes at least a little bit the classic Midsummer Night's Dream issue of THE SANDMAN. The book looks lovely and reads well." - Variety The first ten issues of the hit series from writer Matt Wagner and rising star artist Amy Reeder Hadley are collected in this new trade paperback! Madame Xanadu's powers of sight can change the course of human history, but her vision is clouded when she looks into herself. Thrown into worlds of war and men, she encounters a dark stranger who knows both her past and future. This debut volume reveals Madame Xanadu's centuries spanning origin from Camelot to the court of Kubla Khan to 1940s New York City and beyond... Featuring an introduction by James Robinson (STARMAN).
