Tony Bedard is a modern day Chris Claremont.  Unfortunately, the age of comics where you had to explain everything in-depth is over.  You know, when someone puts a lot of narration boxes into a story because he thinks his reader will have trouble following them.  In this case, you’d be the reader, and the narration boxes would be the rectangular things with the words inside.  Rectangles being like squares, but not necessarily having sides of equal length.  Words being measurements of language that people use to communicate.  Communication being the thing that allows people to interact.  Yea, Bedard over-communicates.

I dropped this title just after Brightest Day started, but I was in a generous mood when I was picking up my books, so I thought I’d give this a read through.  I regret that choice.

Syaf’s art is also a little wonky.  The heads of his characters don’t seem to fit well on the bodies.  He is to necks what Rob Liefeld is to feet.  He doesn’t draw them as often as he should, and when he does, they just look creepy.

I’ll pick this book back up when the creative team changes. 

Story: 1 - Poor
Art: 2 - Average

  1. I’m a fan of this title, so I’m really hoping that you’re wrong about this. Please be wrong about this.

  2. @super: He’s wrong 🙂

    I didn’t see any of these problems when reading the issue. But to each their own.

  3. I think the narration boxes served a very good purpose.  The boxes generally gave a recap of where we are in the story, which was helpful to me.
