Icons: The DC Comics & Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee (2010)

Art by
Jim Lee This book literally took a week to get through. There's just so much goodness to be found within the pages of
Icons: The DC Comics & Wildstorm Art of Jim Lee that it will keep you glued to it. When I first heard about the book, in my mind I thought it was going to be some tiny book full of covers and pin-ups. Boy, was I ever wrong. When I finally had this in my hands, I was like a little kid opening up the biggest present on Christmas morning.
That's right. Biggest. This book is HUGE. I would even say it can be used as a weapon if need be. It's THAT heavy. Page after awesome page, you get to see
Jim Lee's art on glossy paper and twice the size from that of a regular comic book. This is how you do a coffee table book right. Along with all his
Wildstorm and
DC art, you get insight to pretty much everything inside the book.
One thing you need to know though is that none of his work from
Marvel is represented. So, no
X-Men stuff and no
Punisher. Had his
Marvel run been included, it would have easily made this a 20 Star book. Even with this unfortunate omission, this is a book that belongs in everyone's personal library.
Get it. You will NOT be disappointed at all.
