Azzarello and Constantine: a potent combination........2006-03-24

Brian Azzarello, John Constantine, Hellblazer: Freezes Over (Vertigo, 2003)

Writers of Hellblazer have come, and writers of Hellblazer have gone, including some of the genre's brightest lights. It is possible, however, that none of them have shone as brightly in the light of John Constantine as Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets). Garth Ennis' Hellblazer work was good, but pales in comparison to Preacher; Warren Ellis' Hellblazer work shouldn't even be mentioned in the same zip code as Transmetropolitan; Grant Morrison has topped his work on the series with We3. This is not to say that Azzarello was never this good again; 100 Bullets has been a fun ride the whole way. But something about Azzarello's strengths as a writer, his innate noir tendency, lit a spark under this series.

Freezes Over is one story arc (and after that preface, it's not even Azzarello's best) concerning a blizzard, an inn full of snowed-in guests, and the Iceman, a local legend. Fertile ground, surely, for Constantine to do what he does best-- expose what wickedness is lying closest to the surface of the nastiest folks in the room, while urging others to depths of heroism they didn't know they possessed. As far as a plotline goes, it's relatively standard Hellblazer stuff. What sets it apart is Azzarello's mastery over this sort of plotline; instead of the usual heavy-on-the-action fare, Azzarello goes more for the mystery angle, and it works.

Good stuff, this. *** ½

This comic-book definetly earns a gold place..........2005-03-13

This is one of the best comic-books ever written!The character of Constantine at first is presented in a way so you can't like him,but in purpose.Later on,you begin to understand that he actually cares about people,and so you jump to the conclusion ''Hey,give him a break,he's convicted to go to Hell when he dies,and worst of all,he knows it''.
The stories are amazingly written,with great conclusions at the end.
This is a must-have for every comic-fan.And most definetly for every ''HELLBLAZER'' fan.

Constantine still freezes our souls..........2004-01-04

Brian Azzarello (Eisner Award-winning writer) is the author of the 3 stories in this book. It's nice to see John Constantine in different atmospheres and situations, and how he deals with them.

The first story, "... And Buried" goes very well, but left an undefined end (or at least a question: "And so?"). Artist Steve Dillon does a good work on it. It's a shame he doesn't work on all the other stories.

"Freezes Over" is the second one, divided in four parts. It's interesting because it shows how John Constantine can involve magic in some atypical situations of the real world. He doesn't put rabbits out of the hat, nor generates lightning from quick gestures of his hands. His influence in the facts is almost subliminal, but persuasive (just reading to understand what I mean). His cynical smile is present all the time, like a logotype. Myth and reality are very connected in this tale, and very hard to distinguish one from the other.

Finally, "Lapdogs and Englishmen" is divided in two parts, and shows Constantine's rebel youth, when magic was yet a parallel activity and not a course. You'll see that he almost had his chance to know what harm all this magic stuff would cause to his life, but sometimes destiny is stronger. Very frightening!

This book is a good reading for all John Constantine fans, even the less informed about the character. The different artists styles in each story is a little disappointing (as I said, I'd rather prefer Steve Dillon to work on them all). But the rhythm and the creative arguments compensate any deficiency this book may bear.

Another Constantine classic.......2003-07-23

`Freeze's Over' is a great addition to any tpb collection. In this volume, you get not only the four-part title story, but also two others.

"...buried" is a single shot story, illustrated by former Preacher and Hellblazer artist Steve Dillon.

"Freeze's Over" centers on the legend of the `iceman', a killer reputed to have existed for over a hundred years. Outside a small town bar, a man is found impaled on an icicle, and John Constantine fast becomes a suspect. But when a group of strangers arrive, the true killer may be harder to identify.

"Lapdogs and Englishmen", featuring guest artist Guy Davis (of Sandman Mystery Theatre), gives us a glimpse of John's old days as a punk rocker.

Overall, this book may not stack up as a great when compared to some of the other Hellblazer trades, but this is still a very worthwhile book. The writing, all by Brian Azzarello, is snappy, and the multiple artists do nothing to distract from these stories.

Preacher Kids.......2006-10-17

This is a hilarious, though a little unprofessionally written book sharing (sometimes exaggerated) anecdotes from the lives of two preacher's kids.

Warning: contains many Biblical and church references. If you didn't grow up in church, you probably won't appreciate a lot of this humor! =)

Very funny PK life.......2003-01-22

This is a simple and fun book to read. It is a great book for Preacher's Kids or anyone who grew up in the church. The Hafer brothers use personal stories along with some 'preacher licence' to tell some humorious antedotes.

Combining classic and recent articles, each section explores a central issue of the musical, including: the musical's significance as a genre; the musical's own particular representation of sexual difference; the idea of camp, both through stars such as Judy Garland and Carmen Miranda and musicals themselves; and the displacement of race in Hollywood's representations of entertainment. Each section features an editor's introduction setting debates in context.

What a great idea to include relatively easy magic tricks in presentations and training sessions! Although some of the "magic tricks" are redundant, the overall idea is great.

Great Contractor Trade Book.......2006-11-15

I am starting an electrical contracting business and needed help with the office/legal side of the business. I read 4 books on starting a business. This book was the most practical and relavent for me as it was written specifically for the contractor trades. This book provides a good overview of the business details that are required for a business to operate and succeed. It contains very practical examples of what to do to before you start your company and as you run your company. Buy this book first and you may not want any others. Good job with this book Jim.

FIRE WITHIN REVIEW.......2001-05-10

I really enjoyed rading this book. For part of our final in history we had to read this book. Trask does an excellent job of discribing events from the past without boring everyone. Once I picked up this book, I couldn't put it down. I encourage anyone to read it.

An engaging, original perspective on the Civil War . . ........1998-09-24

The author's use of journals and letters from the Civil War period, presented here in a readable, narrative format, paints a realistic view of the average people involved in one of the lowest points in this country's young history. Kerry Trask's stories and insights about the people portrayed in this book are every bit as entertaining as the primary texts themselves; in particular, the background information necessary in a book such as this is provided without overwhelming the reader with dry facts, figures, and dates. I found myself envisioning each season as it came and went, appreciating the contrasts depicted between life on the home front and that in the distant places where men and boys were waiting to confront an enemy no different from themselves. It is especially rewarding to know that Rosa Kellner's desire to become a published author has been fulfilled through the writing of this book. I would recommend it to any person with an interest in the human aspect of war, especially teachers who are looking for a book that students will enjoy reading.

Civil War History At Its Best.......1998-08-06

I really enjoyed reading this book. It seems the author really has a grasp of the history of Manitowoc during the Civil War. It was interesting to read how the soldiers felt during their Civil War enlistment, and how the people back home felt about their loved ones going to war in the South. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Civil War history.
