I ordered this gift about a week ago. I did standared shipping and had it in a little less than a week. It was speedy processing and shipping. I am still waiting for a DVD I ordered 2 to 3 weeks ago. I was really shocked to git this book so fast. Judy Smith

Great Super Hero Graphic Novel

I picked this up at my local Christian bookstore, knowing that it was one of Zondevan's graphic novels. Let me just say that I thought it was simply amazing. You start out with two dudes talking evilness, and then evil dudes murdering innocent missionaries (not gory, but not for kids under ten) and then... KA-POW, the super heroes show up. I wanted to stand up and cheer--no, really, I nearly did. As the story progresses, you meet up with another super-powered guy named "the Tempest" and he's hurt (I think he might have been a bad guy). I'm pretty sure the first in the series explains that, but anyway, some other missionaries find him and care for him (apparently he was hurt pretty badly). As time goes on, he falls in love with the missionary's adult daughter, and learns more about Jesus. I'll stop there (for the sake of not spoiling anything), but I was impressed with how the story went. Meanwhile, the other main superheroes get some medals for saving the one village, and they're all giving credit to this "Morning Star" guy, and all of us Christians know that it's another name for Jesus. It was really cool, because the superheroes call their little group the Hand of the Morning Star (hence the series title), and they talk about waiting for the Morning Star to come--in front of a televised crowd. There's of course, and the end, and big fat "TO BE CONTINUED" that really makes me want to snarl (I like stories to END, thank you very much) but I didn't feel too horribly unsatisfied, like many other graphic novels leave off, with way too many strings. But this ended pretty cleanly, putting it in my "keepers" section of graphic novels.
