Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This huge, impressive hardcover (18" × 11") collects a distinctive series originally published in folded broadsheets inspired by newspaper Sunday comic sections. It hearkens back to the 1930s to 1950s glory days of adventure strips and to an even earlier era when newspapers allowed each Sunday strip a full page. Featured are 15 stories of different heroes, each by different creators displaying a wide variety of styles and approaches, from the winningly cartoony and cute Supergirl tale to the amazing, realistic painted artwork of the Superman and Hawkman stories. A sense of fun and adventure permeates much of the work here: highlights include a Metamorpho romp penned by an unexpectedly zany Neil Gaiman and Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth, done as an homage to Prince Valiant. The innovative layouts of Ben Caldwell's Wonder Woman story, its 50-panel pages contrasted with immense single images, exemplify the great use several of the strips make of the large canvas offered them. VERDICT The Batman story is disappointing, but overall, this is a successful experiment and a fine time for DC fans.—S.R.
Publishers Weekly
The spirit of wide-eyed adventure that has been largely missing from today's comics world comes back with a vengeance in this compilation of DC's 2009 retro-themed series. Originally printed on newspaper broadsheets, appropriate to its prewar pulp roots, each of the series' dozen issues featured one-page installments from 15 different original tales with heroes culled from the DC back catalogue. Though selections range from the preadolescent goofy (Dan Didio's Metal Men, Jimmy Palmiotti's Supergirl) to the surreal (Neil Gaiman's tongue-in-cheek Metamorpho, Paul Pope's Adam Strange), the operative word is action. With few exceptions, the Wednesday Comics feature enough two-fisted, exclamation-heavy action to satisfy any easily bored kid or adult—Dave Gibbons's take on Jack Kirby's Kamandi (“The Last Boy on Earth!”) is particularly rousing, heroic stuff, a postapocalyptic Prince Valiant. Some of the comics do less well; Joe and Adam Kubert's Sgt. Rock is particularly rote, as is Brian Azzarello's thin Batman story, which is at least energetically drawn by Eduardo Risso. But on the whole, this is a thrilling piece of work, re-energizing past classics without losing the spark that made them special in the first place. (May)
