Comments on: The Comic Speculator – New Comics Roundup 01/25/2012 http://www.worthpoint.com/blog-entry/comic-speculator-new-comics-roundup-01252012 Get the Most from Your Antiques & Collectibles Thu, 23 May 2013 13:04:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Fane http://www.worthpoint.com/blog-entry/comic-speculator-new-comics-roundup-01252012/comment-page-1#comment-103268 Fane Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:12:10 +0000 http://www.worthpoint.com/?p=2502202#comment-103268 George R.R. Martin does a huge breakthrough with this greatly written, immediately engrossing, and incredibly intricate tale that keeps you hooked all the way through. Martin steps out on a limb as he writes a fantasy novel whose "good" characters are not invincible and sometimes bad things can and do happen. Most fantasy I've read involves the main characters in impossible situations that resolve themselves by dumb luck or the characters own super-human abilities. Martin goes above and beyond and writes a story that allows for inexperience in a characters fighting ability, both on the battle field and in the political arena. The protagonist does not always make the right decisions, and the good guy doesn't always win. The lines between good & evil are blurred as Martin uses his really impressive command of characters to present situations from different points of view. "Good" isn't always good, and "Evil" isn't always evil. Characters are given diverse personalities and therefore open up the possibility of role-reversal. It's like these are real people making real decisions, and as in life, anything is possible. If your looking for a story that follows a one-dimensional track and is easily predictable, this is not the story for you.. On the other hand, if you want a mature story that is filled with intricate characters and engrossing story lines that leave you guessing and begging for more, you've come to the right place. Hats off to this incredible author and the story that he has created. Have a lovely day, Fane <a href="http://tiny.cc/WoWgoLd" title="fane fannes.wow@gold.me" rel="nofollow"> George R.R.

Cheesecake aside there is an amazing talent there and it will be good seeing him get into the mainstream Marvel and DC world. He is like J. Scott Campbell on steroids.
