Unwritten #3
"A wish-I'd-thought-of-it premise, beautifully executed. Highly recommended for anyone who thinks that fantasy can do more than just help you escape the real world." - Brian K. Vaughan
Tom Taylor travels to the place where Frankenstein was conceived - the same place his father wrote the first Tommy Taylor book. And, of course, that can't be just an innocent coincidence...
Continuing the acclaimed new series from the award-winning LUCIFER team of Mike Carey (X-Men, HELLBLAZER) and Peter Gross (FABLES, Chosen)!
Written by Mike Carey
Art by Peter Gross
Cover by Yuko Shimizu

I really hope this series goes the distance, I don't know how many Vertigo cancellations I can take.

Its gonna be cool to see how they weave classic lit into the story.

After this book, I think this story will be fleshed out just enough to see if I want to continue. I've had some genuine light fun with this book. Not been so impressed that I wouldn't be willing to drop it though.

The book has been decent so far, but Gross' art has been really sloppy in my opinion. Maybe that is how it always looks? I read American Jesus (Mark Millar wrote it and Peter Gross was on art) and his pencils looked pretty good. The coloring was really good as well. Maybe Gross needs a good colorist to make his art shine?

thank buddha these guys teamed up again to write the best comics this side of cerebus!!!!!!!

The progression of this story has now sunk its tendrils into my mind. Unless they completely fall off the wagon, I'm on board for the tenure of this run. Good stuff.
Posted by vadamowens on 07/08/09 at 11:24 PM
This title is here to stay... no doubt in my mind. People should gobble up the first 3 issues before it gets too far ahead.
Posted by OddsBodkins on 07/09/09 at 03:09 PM
dragging along for me. ill pick it up later if it picks up
Posted by peterporker on 07/09/09 at 09:50 PM
Tommy must take the doorknob to various locations around the world where different stories were written, and he must bring the characters from those stories to life(using the doorknob) to fight his enemies.
Ya?
I love any story that can get me to think like this.

It still clunk in places, but that was the best issue yet. It's sinking its fangs...
