See allDefinitely paying homage to Faulkner's As I Lay Dying and Morrison's Song of Solomon. Ward is not up to the level of those two, but that's like saying I'm not as good a football coach as Bill Walsh. No duh.
Large world, flat characters. Very cliche (even though it may have created some), and not all that compelling. It's decent fantasy. Not pursuing the rest of the series, though.
Amazingly inventing, unflinchingly weird, this look at information culture and the future of technology builds an engaging universe in which to explore its myths and legends and beliefs. Very good read for any sci-fi fan.
Excellent work on the art of comics and the underlying mechanics (and philosophies) that make comics work, and that make them valuable and intriguing as an art form. A comic about comics. Great stuff.
I detest this book. References to obscure 80's cultural objects purely for the sake of nostalgia and a collection of the worst impulses of nerd-culture. Self-insert fantasy about the power of being the king of trivia.
