4.0 out of 5 stars
Pretty Impressive,
By A Customer
This review is from: Netherwar (Paperback)
To be honest, I had never heard of Gen 13 before this book when my friend gave it to me for christmas. I did, however, read Golden's Empire Trilogy, so I expecting something good. As it turns out I was right. Netherwar tends to focus on something you never read about in comic-book novels: the hero's daily lives. I mean, we get to see what the hero's do when not doing their usual thing. Of couse, it hardly gets boring though, what with tons of action and adventure. From fighting demons to keepers and going from one bad situation to another, this novel has really gotten me interested in Gen 13. Then why not five stars you ask? Well, the plot is not as complex as I would have wanted it to be. But it is a good read nonetheless.

Golden continues to impress,
By A Customer
This review is from: Netherwar (Paperback)
Well to be honest, I had never heard of gen13 before, but I have read the mutant empire trilogy from golden. This book showed my who the characters truly are and how they act in real life(excluding the super hero thing).I must say that am truly impressed with the detail and way the book makes you care about the characters, even the icy Ivana Bauil(I don't know why, but you do). I would recomend this book to anyone interested in a good story. And let's hope there are more gen 13 novels coming soon.

For a Helluva Good Time!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Netherwar (Paperback)
In a nutshell, this book deals with Gen 13 trying to stop their old time foe Ivana, and her goon squad of keepers, from opening a gateway to Hell in Las Vegas, as if anyone would notice if they did. At 230 pages, the novel is a quick read. At times it makes the novel feel rushed, and it is for this reason only that the book falls short of 5 stars. On the positive side, Golden and Mariotte do a stand out job in handling the regular Gen 13 characters in their first novel. More often than not, I find that comic book characters lose something in the translation from comic to prose. In this novel, all the regulars maintain their traits that their fans have come to know and love. All and all, a very good first outing for the Gen 13. Hopefully this will lead to a series of novels for them in the vein of the Spider Man and X-Men novels. Golden and Mariotte have proven they know the characters in and out, lets see if they can produce a follow up story thats somewhat more complex than this one was.
