Just finished reading issue 1. I liked it, although I had to read it twice as I found it a little confusing with the jumping back and forth between reality, the past and what he imagines. It made more sense on the second read.

 

I don't mind a non-linear narrative, but I do at least need to be sort of engaged.

 

Argh! This drives me crazy, and it's extra frustrating because I thought that was part of the problem with Green Wake. I just read this this morning in a mild rush before I came to work, so I'll give it another read, but dammit I want to look at Riley's art while reading a story that goes from beginning to end. (*ahem* Proof.)

 

Alex Link is a newcomer, right? I wonder if he's helping plot or mostly just dialog...

 

I'm definitely still in for the whole series, and I'll give #1 another read-through tonight. If I'm still a little "wtf" I'll probably just toss the series aside until I have all 4 issues and can read it at once.

lol

 

Sounds like a plan. ;)

 

Still hounding for Green Wake, but I'll eventually come across a set. Part of the fun is trying to figure it out for me. ;)

 

Weibe said (on the CBR boards) that a 2nd print of the 1st trade and the 2nd trade should be out soon... and that they might be able to put out a hardcover collecting the whole series... (I think that news is still up-to-date)

That's unfortunate... that's still on my pile to read.

There was a twinge of it in No Place Like Home, but it was very limited and didn't throw me off.

 

I think that Riley's work really doesn't lend itself to this practice... I love the frantic nature of the art, but when I read a Riley page, I find that my brain just wants to take in the page as a whole and has a hard time separating it out panel-by-panel. That's definitely one reason I like his work, but I just think it makes this kind of story-telling more difficult.

 

I digress... that's probably a thread on its own as it seems many books are taking this approach these days.

 

 

Oh yeah. "Shotgun Divorce."

Hah!

I read it & don't understand what is going on at all ... Is this just some crazy guys random thoughts or what ? lol ... I am wondering if with #2 what we get is if you read the randomness through out the books it joins up with each other
