Here William Goldman's beloved story of Buttercup, Westley, and their fellow adventurers finally receives a beautiful illustrated treatment. A tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts--The Princess Bride is a modern storytelling classic. As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, the reluctant Princess Buttercup is devastated by the loss of her true love, kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchman, rescued by a pirate, forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and rescued once again by the very crew who absconded with her in the first place. In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini--the criminal philosopher who'll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik--the gentle giant; Inigo--the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen--the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans and jumping into their stories is Westley, Princess Buttercup's one true love and a very good friend of a very dangerous pirate.Binding Type: Hardcover

A Bold, Edgier Take on the Man of Steel
Format: Paperback
“Absolute Superman” reimagines the Man of Steel in a darker alternate universe where Earth is dominated by the Lazarus Corporation and enforced by the Peacemakers, an organization that bears an unsettling resemblance to modern immigration authorities. In this version, Kal-El arrives from Krypton not as an infant, but as a young man accompanied by an AI companion. After a brief stay with the Kents, he is reported as an illegal alien and becomes a fugitive, hunted by the Peacemakers. Adding an intriguing twist, Lois Lane is among those pursuing him.
This is a grittier, more morally complex Superman than the hopeful, sunny figure many readers may expect, but the reinterpretation is compelling. The collected volume, “The Last Dust of Krypton,” gathers the first five issues of the series and features striking artwork by Rafa Sandoval and others. Jason Aaron’s storytelling is thoughtful and engaging, making this a strong entry point into a bold reimagining of the character.

LOVE the absolute universe
Format: Paperback
If you have heard of DC's Absolute Universe, this is a great starting point. The art, the storytelling, and the new revision is all a blast to read. I highly recommend this and all the others in the absolute series.

Super good
Format: Paperback
This was my introduction to the absolute dc comics and boy did it make a good first impression. The art style is great and the writing too, it’s fast paced in the current sections and slower in the flashbacks making sure the pacing is good throughout the whole book. The length is good for how much you pay being able to be finished in 30 minutes to an hour for fast readers.
