This story are has been good, could be way better as ohcaroline pointed out. I have to admit though I do look forward to reading it.
Love it, love it, love it. I passed by this book so many times because I thought it was going to be flimsy and not really a good story but man I was wrong. This book is really entertaining and it gives a close up look at a famous super family like no other book has done...it's fresh.
Check it out, it's worth it.
Hi Josh! I love the podcast, you Ron and Conner have recommended tons of great books. This one I felt was a nice break, I think I enjoyed it largely because I needed a break from Super heros and ulltra graphic indy books some times. For that reason I'm going to keep pulling it, at least for now. Any other recommendations that stray from the Supes? I like Ex Machina, I liked the Unbrella Acdemy (sad that it is over), I'm enjoying Black Summer (sort of a heros gone bad book) and Kick Ass looks like it will be good too. Don't get me wrong I like the Super heros ...my favs are New Avengers, Iron Fist, Green Arrow & Black Canary, and Allstar Batman and Robin to name a few.
Glad to see you guys read our reveiws. I'm looking forward to the next podcast. Great pick guys and I too agree with Kick Ass as pick of the week.
Hi Ron, you're right I should have given some reasons why I hated it. So here goes:
The art was horrible. Wasn't Jonah a prisoner in the last issue, of which most folks thought it was written much better. I'm not alone in my dislike of this issue check the comments. Another problem is that I wasn't pulled into the story mainly because the dialogue felt like a spaghetti western or worse. The use of American Indians in this issue could have been much better, I mean come on portraying them as savages has already been done a zillion times. If the writter had just stretched his imagination some then he'd find that there is a plethera of ways to potray American Indians. This issue was like beating a dead horse (pardon the pun) I'm really was not concerned that he was captured, same old thing written in a really poor way. I just felt like it was worth a "D" verses an "A". Think about the those books that are A material and then honestly look at this story, it's just plan sit com quality at best.
I'm poor and I have you to blame for these purchases:
League of Ex. Gentlemen Vol. I; LOEG the Black Dossier; Marvels; Sin City Hard Goodbye. All of these are fantastic. Thankfully I had some of the others you recommended or I would be with out electricity. lol
Seriosuly thanks for the great advice.
