LP version. Norwegian jazz is as vital as ever and one can but wonder where it all comes from. With Night Owl, their second album for Rune Grammofon, Eyolf Dale and Andre Roligheten are already five albums into their career and showing a maturity in writing and playing that betrays their age considerably. Their previous album, Tree House with Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, also showed that they can write for a large ensemble, this being a commissioned work from Molde International Jazz Festival in 2013. Night Owl was recorded at Fattoria Musica in rural Osnabruck, Germany, a studio that has hosted many famous musicians and is known for it's top quality equipment and ambiance. The music can be described as contemporary jazz with threads to both American and European traditions - highly original, structured compositions paired with improvisation; playful and melodic, modern and accessible. Eyolf and Andre met at school in the small town of Skien and have played together since the age of seventeen. The duo formally started in 2006, followed by rehearsals and concerts. They won the annual JazzIntro prize at Molde Int. Jazz Festival in 2008 and the "best band" category at the European Jazz Competition at the North Sea Jazz in 2009, with jury leader Maria Schneider commenting, " most original, great interplay and amazing improvisation, effective and colorful compositions." the same year also saw the release of their debut album Seagull Island, followed by Mystery Orchestra with Grenager & Tafjord (2010), both receiving great reviews, the latter named best Norwegian jazz record of the year in national paper, Dagsavisen. Grenager and Tafjord are both founder members of SPUNK, the all-female improv quartet that has released eight albums on Rune Grammofon. Albatross have toured in USA, Italy, Malaysia, Germany, France, Poland, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands and all over Norway. Eyolf Dale (piano), Andre Roligheten (saxophone)

A fairly decent super hero romp
Format: Paperback
If Mister Terrific suffers from any one flaw it is that he is incredibly generic. Nothing about this book was particularly offensive and it provided for some fairly good reads but the villains Terrific goes up against are hardly that. Despite this weakness, I found the series to be a fairly good read and while the major ongoing storylines were clearly cut short by the title's untimely demise, the ending satisfactorily led into the current status quo for Mister Terrific on Earth-2. Whether his presence there becomes relevant or not remains to be seen (particularly with the depature of Earth-2 writer James Robinson) but as things stand now, Mind Games still seems to be valuable background reading for Earth-2 and also lays a bit of ground work for the plot in World's Finest, meaning that Mister Terrific is nicely connected to the two current Earth-2 based titles.
The pace of the book is fairly decent, with several short story arcs that see Mister Terrific facing different villains and an ongoing plot throughout that deals with Terrific's secret identity and the issues he is dealing with as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. The writing is not always sharp but the supporting cast is fairly solid and its a tragedy that we probably won't see some of these characters again. Terrific himself has enjoyable, if somewhat illogical, inner monologue that typically involves him thinking through a problem and while the science is (often) fuzzy, Wallace does a good job of showing how science and tech form the basis of Mister Terrific's powerset.
I would characterize this book as a solid B-list entry. Fans of the character may appreciate it as well as readers looking for something a little different but it is by no means a must-read. I'll be keeping it on my shelf as an important book for World's Finest and Earth-2 (both of which I have pulled since issue #1) however. If you can get your hands on this trade (or its related single issues) for a modest price, it provides a decent couple of hours of reading. It is a pity that nothing stands out particularly well but I appreciated that so much seemed to happen in only eight issues compared to some of the tedious extended plots of other comics.

Silver Age Batman time trip
Format: Hardcover
Fun book. I was born at the very beginning of the Silver Age and had older brothers, so I was reading by four, and had great reading material available.

A Baby Boomer dream come true!
Format: Hardcover
I love the Golden Age omnibus Batman series. However, for many of us baby boomers the Silver Age is what we’ve been craving. Those were exciting days back then, looking for the new issue of Batman or Detective Comics on the newsstand. One of the previous reviewers is correct, though, there are some missing issues between the last golden age omnibus and this, the first silver age omnibus, that need to be put into book form at some point. I certainly hope we get them. But more than anything I am really hoping that this will not be the first and last silver age omnibus. By my count, there are almost exactly the issues needed to make three more silver age volumes before we get to the “new look Batman,” which started in mid 1964. And frankly, I hope they continue on with a “new look” omnibus series as well. This first volume, though, was absolutely beautiful! The re-creation of these old panels is breathtaking. When you go back and look at the old dot matrix original issues and compare them to the re-printings contained within this omnibus…well…there simply is no comparison. Batman, the Silver Age Omnibus Volume One is practically as good as it gets. The only thing more I could have wished for would have been the inclusion of the old advertisements that decorated the pages of the original issues. Other than that, this book is perfect. Wow!

Quality Reproduction of Artwork
Format: Hardcover
The book looks great and includes a massive amount of content; however, this is DC Batman Silver Age stories verses Marvel Silver Age stories. It was hard getting through some of the stories and did not make it through the entire book. I think I would have enjoyed the stories that came before this collection and/or the great Neal Adams Batman content. This era of batman stories was just silly and boring. But just my opinion.

Terrific buy for old time Batman comics.
Format: Hardcover
These Batman Omnibus collections are great for compiling these still amazing comics in an inexpensive way. Much cheaper than trying to get the original comics.
