Touched for the very first time…,
A Madonna comic book? Sounds great! However, as this title shows, things aren’t always as good as they seem! Take Madonna 50 plus years and shrinking it down to a single comic book is no easy task. CW Cooke, the author of this title, does well to hit on every Madonna milestone in her life and career. From her early days in NYC to her current hommage to Mia Farrow, every base is covered. The problem is the writing is weak. And like the Martha Stewart title in this series, is a bit cheesy and awkward. The art, while solid, can be a bit confusing in places and Madonna never really looks like Madonna. Mike J.C.’s work is very soft and round, Madonna’s natural structure is very jagged and sharp. So aside from a beauty mark and the iconic images of Madonna–the similarity ends there.
The cover is gorgeous and any Madonna fan would surely enjoy this light, quick read. It’s nice to see this titles continue to get published and hopefully more titles will continue to hit shelves!

|Cool & Collectible,
Madonna is my favorite female singer, so I had to get me a copy of this comic as soon as I heard about it. The artwork is very nice and detailed, the colors are great. I framed mine alongside John Lennon and Princess Diana comics. Looks great!

A really enjoyable biography comic – it takes you on a ride from Michigan to London. The artwork is nice and CW Cooke does a great job telling Madonna’s complex story!
