Alex Ross with a new cast of characters,
By
This review is from: The Dynamite Art of Alex Ross HC (Hardcover)
Alex Ross' third art book has as much impact as Mythology and Rough Justice. However, it's a little different from those two books. It features art for the lesser known superheroes (to me) from Dynamite. Most of the characters are new to me, like those from Project Superpowers, Kirby: Genesis. There's also The Torch, Bionic Man, Green Hornet, Flash Gordon Zeitgeist, The Shadow and even Voltron (yes, that Voltron). There are sketches, designs, layouts, pencils, panels and plenty of covers. Having gotten used to seeing DC superheroes like Superman and Batman from Alex Ross, I wasn't expecting a whole new cast of characters in the book. The art for Kirby: Genesis is quite radical with the wild costumes and unfamiliar colour palette. The bulk of the book features completely new art so there's no duplication with the earlier art books. This one's a 328-page hardcover. Many illustrations come with short commentary from Alex Ross. The art is fantastic, very typical of Alex Ross' style of realism and lighting. This is another impressive art book for those who can't get enough of Alex Ross. (There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

A Truly Amazing Book,
By Jimmy Hanzo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Dynamite Art of Alex Ross HC (Hardcover)
I just purchased this yesterday and wow, this might even be cooler than Mythology: The DC Comics Art of Alex Ross or Rough Justice: The DC Comics Sketches of Alex Ross. The product values are top notch, with bright, vivid colors and paper quality as nice as you'd want from this type of deluxe package. Unlike many other top talents, Ross seems to be getting better with age; I'd stack this stuff up against the best of his DC work.And suprisingly, you don't miss icons like Superman or Captain America; seeing Ross take on classic Golden Age heroes like the Phantom, Green Arrow, Flash Gordon and many more is a pure delight and has a freshness his DC work was lacking. We've seen what an Alex Ross Batman or Green Lantern looks like before (thanks to the amazingly gorgeous Absolute Justice, something you definitely want in the oversized 'Absolute' format), so seeing him on a whole new roster of superheroes brings a level of excitement to what Ross offers. If you're a fan of comic books or painted adventure art, this is a definite "must own". Highly recommended! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

I'm a forever fan of Alex Ross and this book is a marvel to flip through.I could stare at his paintings for hours. Great collection of work he's done for Dynamite. |
