I tried to read this, I mean really tried to read it, but I just couldn't. I love the weird and ridiculous, but this was just bad. They tried way too hard. Shame too, because Flannigan is pretty damn talented.
However, I would agree with you that this book might get some heat from TV pushing, but probably wont last long. I just cant see this building steady readership.
Sorry but Flannigan is awful. Read The Widening Gyre....It's to bad because I love the villain Onomatopoeia.
I did read Widening Gyre, and Cacophany, and I didn't think Flannigan was that bad actually. Obviously not my favorite artist, but he held his own.
The art from Cryptozoic Man is very detailed, and probably took him forever, its just too bad the story sucked. It would be cool to see Flannigan do the art for something that wasnt written by one of his buddies.
