Format:Taschenbuch
Diese Gesamtausgabe ist wahrhaft episch - vom äußeren Format her (über 1000 Seiten müssen erst einmal bewältigt werden...) und von Storyline, Charakteren und Atmosphäre her sowieso. Selten war ich von einem Comic derart begeistert. Michael Straczynski hat sich hier wirklich selbst übertroffen - eine mitreißende, fesselnde Story von Anfang bis Ende - dabei abwechslungsreich und immer originell. Auch zeichnerisch wissen die "rising stars" absolut zu überzeugen. Und hier liegen sie wirklich bis zur letzten jemals publizierten Seite komplett vor. Meine absolute Empfehlung für diese geniale US-Serie!

Collected Material=good. Quality and design of book=not so good.
26. April 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I'm not going to review the actual content of this book. There are lots of other reviews out there in which you can learn about this great comic book series.
What you really want to know is: should I shell out for this or not?
If you are familiar with the paperback "Compendium" editions from Top Cow, this is exactly like those, except hardcover. That's a major improvement, as those compendium paperbacks were easily damaged. It is very thick, unlike the item displayed in the picture. The image content fills the pages: unlike Marvel Omnibuses or hardcovers, there are no borders at all. Also unlike the Marvel books, the paper is rather flimsy and thin, although glossy with good reproduction quality. In fact, the pages seem thinner than standard comic book paper used by most independent comic book publishers. The page size is exactly the same as standard comic book pages.
The reason to buy this book is to get all this content in one place, and there is a ton of that. They aren't kidding when they list 1000 pages. But other than that the book design isn't much. Unlike competing oversize editions published by DC, Dark Horse, or Image, these Compendiums are the size of standard comic books. That's a real let down for fans and a missed opportunity for the publisher.
Without borders around the artwork, some of it gets lost in the massive spine fold. The weight of the book makes it unwieldy, and easy to lose your grip on-- so the flimsy pages become a real liability--easy to damage as you fumble with the book in your lap. They also feel like they might tear if you turn the pages with any strength.
I am quite happy with this despite those complaints, as I didn't have any of this material in another format. For those who do have other versions of these issues, collected or otherwise, there's not much motivation to buy this, as it really is just a bunch of standard comics bound into a thick and heavy tome.

Great Story, Horrible Binding
3. November 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
As others have said the story is great. The binding on the book is already falling apart after ONE reading! The glue holding the cover to the spine of the interior pages has released. I skipped buying the hardcover because of problems people said they were having and find the soft cover has the same problem. This is inexcusable for a professionally produced book.

Amazing Read
29. Mai 2009
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
There are certain books that take you on a journey and introduce you to memorable characters. The kind of books that are superior in writing and storytelling. Rising Stars is one of those books. And this Massive Hardcover is amazing. With over 1000 pages and with every single issue combine to create a unique read as you enter the world of the 113 specials and learn about their origins and their future. This is a Must read and for fans the comic a must have.
