Yikes….this was a very rough start for a book that I went into having pretty high hopes. I thought that the sequential art felt very jumpy, I thought the story was not very well plotted, and I thought the dialogue felt very awkward at times…
And the eyes. I HATE the way the characters eyes are drawn….specifically the two little kids that Doc Savage saves. This art choice alone would make me drop this book.
Except….
I LOVED the second feature with Justice Inc. As soon as I got to the end, I realized that I was dying for more. I love the art, and the writing by Starr was awesome. I would buy this as a main feature ANY day over the Savage story. So is it crazy to pay 3.99 a month for a 10ish page second feature? Probably….but I don’t know that I’ll be able to stay away from what Starr is doing here.
Dammit.

Jason Starr is one hell of a storyteller. Check out his work in the Hard Case Crime books if you want to read some crazy stuff. His co-plotting with Ken Bruen has made for some great hours for me.
