M.O.D.O.K.: HEAD TRIPS

About M.O.D.O.K.Most important book about M.O.D.O.K.Seriously, if you’re a fan and you’ve been jonesing for some M.O.D.O.K. it’s hard to see how you wouldn’t be over-joyed at this collection. The book looks great, the coloring outstanding, pages are all in their correct order. You'll learn absolutely everything you'd ever want to know about M.O.D.O.K.That a $40 trade paperback exists that collects all the appearances of a minor Marvel villain like M.O.D.O.K. should be proof to all that the nerds have finally won. They have crushed their enemy (popular culture), seen it driven before their billion dollar blockbusters, and heard the lamentations of Martin Scorsese. But what Marvel has actually accomplished here is something more.You can take this volume as a cross section of comic’s history from the Silver Age to the present. One clear lesson is about the evolution of production values over 40 years or so. With better paper, a small army of wrists for ever more detailed illustrations and the digital revolution in coloring, comix look better now than ever. Pow and um, Zap!But the fact that they’ve taken a throw-away villain from a two-part Capt. America story and run so many changes on him over the years says something about the stasis that exists in contemporary superhero comics. We are collectively hung up on some super-heroes from the Sixties, man! (How come Paul Chadwick's Concrete never became a film star?).It also highlights the almost ridiculous fecundity of the Lee-Kirby team during that decade. Something singular occurred in terms of creativity then. That has simply never been replicated. So that even one of their minor concepts like M.O.D.O.K. could have such a long, varied and failed career in world domination.(Personally, I think it was drugs. I've read that all the amazing art and music of the 1960s was due to drugs. Even if you didn't take the drugs yourself, if you just sat near a marijuana cigarette you would write Eleanor Rigby or Slaughter House 5 or something like it. That's what I heard, anyway).

If you like titles that give you the most important appearances of a character than this book is for you. All the important and extended M.O.D.O.K. stories are in this title. The nice thing is you get the flavor and personality of the character and appearances from various heroes. There is a nice mix of art styles and the appearances go from Silver age to the modern day. What was surprising was how the main character sustained a consistent character no matter who wrote him. There were also story beats and characters that connected the various stories and made for consistency through the volume. Worth a read and you get a really good sense of MODOK as a villain.

Modok's Outrageous Delightful Outstanding Kollection. 'nuff said!

Great stories!Excellent product!One thing I would like to say to the seller is to not use sticky plastic.It didn’t damaged the product nor ripped any page, but it is better to seal the product only in plastic bubble in a way that it doesn’t touch the sticky plastic
