By: Irini Spanidou | Series: Vintage InternationalFrom the author of God's Snake, and Fear comes a stunning novel that shines light on what it means to be beautiful, and to be possessed—by oneself, and by others.
The setting is 1970s New York City, a time and place of creativity, sexual freedom, and unforeseen dangers. At its center is Beatrice, who is twenty-five, mesmerizingly lovely, intelligent, and married to Ned, a volatile painter whose obsession with her has turned to hatred. Beatrice is desired by everyone around her: by Faye, her seductive, bawdy childhood friend; by Cyril, a lonely, charismatic Vietnam veteran; by Chris, a young heroin addict. And then there is Perkins, the oddly threatening man next door.
An intoxicating mix of desire, longing, and menace, Before captures a dizzying time in America.

I really wanted to be hopeful about this.
Format: Kindle
First off, I’ve been a DC multiverse fan for a very long time. And the concept of Earth-3 was always a fun idea. I enjoyed so many of the characters over the years. This had so much potential. But some of the designs are so clunky, and there’s nowhere near as much characterization as their predecessors had. Power Ring is the only one that feels an improvement. But the rest just didn’t thrill me (Atomica being one of the few that wasn’t tedious).
I know the writers always just can’t help themselves and have to rewrite the origins again and again. But the story could have been so much better.

Earth 3
Format: Paperback
I really enjoyed this reboot of the Crime Syndicate. It manages to feel new while still staying true to the existing stories. Never read anything by either creator, but I loved it. This should be an ongoing series.

Great new take on some of my favorite DC villains
Format: Paperback
I have been a huge fan of the Crime Syndicate concept for several years, ever since Grant Morrison revived them in 2000. While the group has been radically altered and retooled since then, to the point where no version of the group is exactly the same as the last one that showed, it's good to see any version of them get a series of their own and this latest iteration is a good one besides. My one real complaint is that it could have been a bit longer, particularly each member's origin segment. None the less, great series overall.

The Crime Syndicate is back!
Format: Paperback
Wow, what a great story. I first read about the Crime Syndicate in the Secret Society of Super Villains when I was a kid in the 70's. This a fresh take and gives us the origins of the team and the individuals members in the back-ups. Great story with characterization, lots of action, surprises, and well-paced.
