Sophisticated stories and beautiful artwork
Humanizing takes of some of our favorite heroes. The art alone is worth the price! Can’t decide which take was my favorite!

if you like JMS you’ll like this, give it a try
I read this first volume of his “The Brave and the Bold” series and thought it was really good. Each chapter shows a previously untold team-up between two characters who have never been together before I believe. Such as Green Lantern and Doctor Fate, or Wonder Woman and Batgirl. They seem to take place at random points in the history of the DCU and don’t really require you to know anything going in. A lot of the characters are really obscure, some I have never heard of, but he explains them well so you’re not lost. I don’t want to give away any spoilers so I’ll just say the writing and art is great and it’s worth the read.

About half good
The thing is, Straczynski is a fantastic writer. He takes the characters apart to get at the important core. And he makes you think. He did that with two of these stories, and they were fantastic. But the others fell short, trying yoo hard to be smart, and not hitting the mark, or just going in the wrong direction, delving into less important aspects of the hero. I think the stories were too short to give him time to develop the story as he usually does. Check out his longer storylines, especially his run on Spider-Man. Absolutely fantastic.

Seven DC team-ups from J. Michael Straczynski and Jesus Saiz
This volume collects issues #27-33 of “The Brave and the Bold” monthly comic book series originally published between 2009 and 2010 by DC Comics. The title features pairings of renowned and obscure characters from the DC Universe. J. Michael Straczynski (Amazing Spider-Man, Babylon 5) wrote all seven issues. Jesus Saiz penciled five issues, with Chad Hardin and Justiano handling issue #31 and Cliff Chiang handling #33. Co-stars include Batman (twice), The Flash, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman, The Joker, The Atom and Zatanna as well as lesser known characters like Brother Power, The Demon (Etrigan) and Dial H for Hero. Issue #28 shows The Flash traveling back to WWII to meet The Blackhawks and was nominated for a 2010 Eisner award. #33 is a prologue to the famous “The Killing Joke” Batman/Joker story. I had bought a few of these individual comic books and was happy to get this collection as a gift, enjoying all seven stories.

JMS’ Brave and Bold Intro to the DCU marks an impressive debut!
JMS has long been one of my favorite writers in comics. I loved his run on Spider-Man, his What If’s stories for Marvel (some of the best ever) and most especially, his reworking of the Squadron Supreme, which regrettably he never got to finish (or at least, it has an unfinished quality to it, but then again, there’s always Rising Stars)!So, when I found out he had made the move to the DCU, I was intrigued. I love both Marvel and DC, but they’re very different animals. The Marvel universe is a little bit closer to our own than the DCU, on the other hand, DC is a little more timeless, like the god’s of mythology, or the character’s in a fable might be.So, “the Brave and the Bold” is a perfect venue for JMS to get his feet wet, and he doesn’t disappoint. Mind you, there are six stories here, featuring Batman, the Flash, Aquaman, the Demon, the Atom, the Joker, Green Lantern, Doctor Fate, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Zatanna, and you’ll never walk away thinking “Wow! he really nailed that character, this is the definitive interpretation of so and so. His portrayal of the Joker in fact, rests heavily on Heath Ledger’s interpretation in Dark Knight, the movie, which was (and is) as far as I can tell, a unique interpretation of that character. But it’s not cannon… (but who cares, if the story works)!As I say, this whole book very much feel like a writer (a very good writer) poking at the edges of this new universe he’s going to playing with, and getting a feel for the characters that populate it. Sometimes he’s smart enough to refer to to time honored interpretations (his Green Lantern particularly feels right, and in line with what Geoff Johns is doing with that character, and the Joker makes an appearance in the story, “Ladies Night” featuring Wonder Woman, Zatanna, and Batgirl, which recalls Alan Moore’s Killing Joke, and will possibly bring a tear to your eye) and sometimes not so much. Batman is featured in two stories also featuring in one, Brother Power, the Geek and in the other Dial H for Hero. Even though he goes as far as Bruce Wayne’s childhood in the Brother Power story, you never get the feeling, “Wow, I have a much deeper understanding of what drives Bruce Wayne now. But in the Dial H for Hero story, he has a really nice speech, about what it means to be a hero, to get that (for some) one chance to make a difference in someone else’s life, and to make something of yourself, even for one single moment, that truly matters.It may not be definitive Bat’s, but I’ll read that speech again and again in the days to come.The unlikely pair of Aquaman and the Demon, are made less awkward than you might imagine, by the description of an annual team up in which they get together to stop the hordes of hell from making their way into our world through the sea. The Demon’s dialog (which of necessity has to rhyme) feels right and is spooky besides. And Aquaman (a character whom, let’s face it, along with the Atom, I’ve never particularly cared for) is given the proper sort of Majesty befitting a “King of the seas”.I gotta admit, even the Atom story works for me. Not because, I walked away feeling I got some new insight into the character (the closest who’s come to that I think are Geoff Johns and Brad Meltzer and even they can’t turn me on to Ray Palmer), but because Ray Palmer has some truly hilarious dialog as he’s forced to team up with the Joker (this is the story which relies heavily on Heath Ledger’s interpretation of that character) and in the end, justify it by do something which totally negates the Joker’s world view.All in all, you might be better served by picking this up in paperback. It’s certainly not worth the hoopla of releasing it in hardcover and paying the requisite price. But at paperback, it’s a solid purchase and I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Dans ce livre on peut se délecter des récits de J.M. Straczynski avec ces épisodes 27 à 33 principalement dessinés par Jesus Saiz.Le dessin est classique et correct. Il faut noter que peu d’épisodes de Brave and the bold sont réédités en trade paperback ceux-là le sont, cela laissait donc présager des récits corrects. Le but de cette série est de raconter des petites histoires associant deux héros ou plus de l’univers DC.En fait ce recueil est un pot pourri avec du très bon et du quelconque. Je citerai notamment les deux histoires avec Batman qui sont très bien écrites, et qui font référence une fois de plus à notre vie, notre société comme sait si bien le faire Straczynski. On aura aussi droit je trouve à deux épisodes moyens dans le livre qui contient 7 épisodes.
