I am just starting out as a model and I had so many questions. Is modeling for you? was the perfect find. It gave me insight into the modeling business and helped me to understand the steps that are necessary to succeed. I feel much more conffident now that I have read this book. Every aspiring model should read it.

The fact that the majority of today's sucessful black models started at black agencies, and there's a listing of them in this book. It was helpful, but if you're already established as a model, it may seem redundant.

i recommend this book, because it gave me all the information i needed to get started in a modeling career.

Wayne C. Robinson's descriptive talents are forceful enough to send shivering scenes from tbe world of the Raptor Saga into your mind's eye, and you are in suspense as to what will happen next. His characters are strong, and I found this story to be very exciting; hard to put down once I started reading it.

The author is very talented--I believe this book will become an excellent movie, in that it is unusual, and original, well-written. This is not the kind of story that fades with time, but rather, you will anxiously await the release of Part II...

If you like adventure stories, you will really enjoy this book. Wayne does a great job of building his characters, and carrying his story line. There is plenty of action and adventure in this book. I especially enjoyed the special relationship the main character has with his animal friends, and how he keeps the suspense rolling! I read this book to my son, and he loved it too. We are anxiously waiting for the next one, so hurry up Wayne!

The 5th TPB Collection of James Robinson's Starman is the weakest so far. I should prefice this by saying that this volume is still better than 90% of the comics out there. Robinson's writing is in the top echelon of the industry and he's doing some neat things with the development of the character of Jack Knight. So, where does this TPB stumble...VILLAINS! Jack (Starman) isn't given a strong antagonist in any of his adventures in this volume. The best villain MIST has a stand alone storyline (which is quite good) but Starman needs someone to battle to help him further become the hero that he is capable of being.

This aside, Infernal Devices does have several strong points. The annual 'Talking with David' story is the best to this point. The relationship with Jack and his father (Ted) is still a strong central point for all of the STARMAN ADVENTURES. And, it's always nice to see Jack in over his head when surrounded by heroes like Batman and Sentinel. I hope future stories will just provide a stronger motivation and supervillain to keep things more hectic. Read Starman: Infernal Devices and then go and reread Starman: A Wicked Inclination to see how GREAT this character can be when confronted by a true menace.

From the introduction of "Bobo" Benetti (a character who definitely deserves his own series)to an excellent explanation of all the various personas of Solomon Grundy, Robinson is in top form in this collection. Filled with some of Tony Harris's best art; this collection shows the series at its best, Starman still learning the role of hero, Shade unleashing a bit of the anger he usually keeps in check, and a great visit with David that shows us the other side (literally) of heroism.

As the fifth in a series of Starman Trade Paperbacks, Infernal Devices follows the continuing adventures of Starman VII Jack Knight as he teams up with Batman and The Original Green Lantern Alan Scott (now known as Sentinel), to save the life of Solomon Grundy. James Robinson's writing and Tony Harris's artwork is top-notch and is certainly worth the price of this collection. It features stunning revelations (by Nash(The Mist II) and Solomon Grundy)and contains the best Talking with David story, which features ghosts of departed golden age mystery men. Only problem is that I wish this book was also printed in glossy paper like the first three volumes of Starman Trade Paperbacks, all in all, this is one book Golden Age and JSA fans should not miss, a definite must-read.

First thing's first. I like this book. This book not only highlighted areas important in African American history, it also highlighted Black owned businesses, i.e. bookstores, restaurants, etc. One of the first places I looked up was my hometown/state. I found quite a few of interesting places in my own backyard which I had never heard of. This book isn't as detailed as some others I have seen, but I think it is definitly a good start.
