ELECTRIC ANT #1 (OF 5)

Review by: akamuu
WRITER: David Mack
PENCILS: Pascal Alixe
COVER BY: Paul Pope

Size: pages
Price: 3.99

A couple of panels in, it became clear that either the artist or the writer fell in love with Blade Runner, before they fell in love with “Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep?”  And that’s fine.  But this five issue take on a Philip K. Dick story suffers in the shadow of Boom! Studio’s word-for-word graphic retelling of “…Electric Sheep?”. 

The art is solid.  The story is interesting, but it wears Dick’s prose like a slightly too tight sweater.  It looks good at first, but upon closer inspection, it bunches in places, and sags in others.

Story: 3 - Good
Art: 4 - Very Good
