I am not happy with this seller at all
The condition of a book was not as it descrebed. Writing inside and a used sticker (supposed to be Like New). The seller used newer edition's ISBN# and sold me older edition's book. I contacted once, but there was no reply. I will never buy an item from this seller. ... Read more

An excellent retelling
This wonderful graphic novel is a collection of comic book stories, seamlessly knitted together to form a fascinating story. Herein, the story of the Fantastic Four is updated, without substantially changing the characters or their powers. Once again, with superb illustrations, the team finds themselves given fantastic powers, battle the Moleman, Prince Namor the Submariner, and their greatest foe-Dr. Doom.

These comics are superbly drawn, while the story is gripping. I must admit to cringing when I first saw this book, so many people now want to transmogrify the old character out of all recognition. But, this book succeeds in retelling the old tale, faithfully and interestingly. I really enjoyed this book, and think that you will too!

Heroes Reborn : Fantastic four is verygood!
The Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four book is very good!Brandon Choi, Jim Lee, and Scott Williams who are the creative team on WildCats revamped Fantastic Four for Marvel comic's Heroes Reborn project!Jim Lee draws the first six issues and Brett booth and Ron Lim draw the last six issues.Jim Lee's art is breath taking!The way Jim Lee draws Fantastic Four & Avengers is wonderful! He draws Namor very well!The Marvel characters, Wyatt Wingfoot, Mole man, Super Skrull, Dr. Doom, Silver Surfer also play a part in Heroes Reborn. I recommend it if You like Jim lee art and Fantastic Four comics!A++

Fans Weren't Thrilled for a Reason
This book has been hyped as the "best of the Heroes Reborn" books, featuring artwork and "plotting" by Jim Lee. If so, I think I will skip the other Heroes Reborn books (all of which failed after an initial surge in sales). The artwork is not Jim Lee's best (sorely missing the inking of X-Men collaborator Art Thibert) and the writing is astonishingly bad.

Marvel followed up on the concept of updating their classic characters with the highly successful (and fanboy approved) Ultimate universe a few years later. If you're looking for a fresh take on the FF, I would recommend checking out Ultimate Fantastic Four, Vol. 1.

The best of the Heroes Reborn lineup
In the mid-90's, Marvel decided to conclude their much maligned Onslaught storyline with the deaths of many of their top tier heroes.The Fantastic Four, Captain America, Iron Man, and the rest of the Avengers, all bought the big one as their respective titles were canned and re-launched with a new direction (allegedly) as Marvel teamed up with Wildstorm (before they became part of DC) to produce some new takes on old stories.Many fans weren't exactly thrilled with this chain of events, and the Fantastic Four books ended up being the best of the Heroes Reborn lineup.Spotlighted by Jim Lee's artwork, Heroes Reborn: Fantastic Four finds Marvel's first family tackling with Dr. Doom, Namor, the Mole Man, and the list of usual suspects in a more modern setting.The storyline isn't anything we haven't seen plenty of times before, but it's not bad considering, and Lee's fantastic (no pun intended) artwork makes this TPB worth checking out alone.If you're a FF fanatic, you'll want to pick this up for completist reasons alone, or if you're a Lee fan, you'll want to check this out too.

Wonderful drawings
4 stars for the Jim Lee wonderful drawings, with a lot of color, action, powerful characters: super-heroes and vilains.
There is a high contrast between the present times marvel comics and jim lee's. Action, super powers, vilains, color, humour, dynamic story, are all present in Jim Lee's comics. We don't find this anymore today, but only thriller, "grey universe", violence, and... no action along the pages.
A great story for a great pleasure ... Read more

Product Description

From Self to Sources focuses on helping students progress from writing essays to research papers—a critical step in both higher-level developmental and freshman composition courses. Brandon's concise, systematic approach to writing hinges on integrating clear explanations, examples, and exercises so students can learn and then practice applying key skills and strategies.

Student and professional examples model every stage of the writing process, increasing the text's accessibility and relevance. These comprehensive examples appear throughout each chapter and cover reading-related, professional, and general topics.

• The text features 43 professional examples and 23 student examples illustrating how to conceive, develop, and write essays and research papers.
• An alternative thematic table of contents gives instructors the flexibility to emphasize either essays or research papers.
• A self-evaluation chart helps students to identify and remedy trouble spots.

Product Description

In this three-book series, Brandon follows the traditional framework of instruction while broadening the scope of topics to include personal, cross-curricular, and career-related issues. Designed specifically for community colleges and business programs, the diverse range of topics and assignments in Writing Connections helps students of varying backgrounds, ages, and majors recognize how strong writing skills can allow them to achieve both their academic and professional goals.

Brandon focuses on helping students find common denominators and patterns across all key forms of writing—from narration, analysis by division, process analysis, cause and effect, and comparison and contrast to persuasion. Students practice each form and learn to apply what they learn to personal, cross-curricular, and workplace writing. After covering the principles of comparison and contrast, students can write an analysis of cross-cultural issues that arise as a result of being a part of a mixed-race family, evaluate different architectural styles for an art history class, or assess how individual managers approach crises at work. Extensive student examples illustrate all stages of the writing process and serve as good models on which students can pattern their own work.

• The series covers sentence-level writing, from grammar and mechanics to rhetoric, as well as paragraph-level, essay-level, report, proposal, technical, and summary (including the two-part response) writing.
• "Microtheme practice" exercises focus on sentence-level writing and mechanics. Students write briefly on a key topic and then revise their work after completing end-of-chapter exercises, demonstrating their mastery of the content.
• In keeping with a cross-curricular emphasis, Brandon reviews basic study skills—including how to underline, annotate, and create an outline—and test-taking strategies that students can immediately apply in their other classes.
• A Writing Process Worksheet provides students with clear, step-by-step guidelines on the complete writing process and also offers instructors a record of each student's work. In addition, a Self-Evaluation Chart promotes independent learning and helps students take responsibility for their progress.
• The readings cover traditional selections as well as excerpts from textbooks and vocational manuals.
• A unit dedicated exclusively to career topics includes details on how to conduct an Internet search for resources on different vocations, as well as advice on writing résumés and letters of application.
