This thread is about the potential for a good read, I felt the story might have some merit for those of us who enjoy crime - cop - redemption type storylines, with a bit of weird thrown in. Discussion is all I hoped to encourage, this is not a 'modern that is heating up' thread, I noticed it and liked the premise, do you?

 

I'm interested to see what Grant Morrison has up his sleeve outside the DC/Vertigo/Marvel Universe. It's been awhile...

[Nico Esq]

As much I don't enjoy some of what Morrison does, I love other projects he's done and I'm really looking forward to this book. In fact, there's a number of my friends who hate Morrison's work who have pre-ordered multiple copies of this particular title and commented that they "can't wait to see what Morrison's got up his sleeves."

So - issue #1 released today. Any thoughts (haven't had a chance to pick it up yet myself). The only review I've read gave it 5 stars out of 10...

Yeah, it was strange and half the dialogue was swearing. I'm not sure about it but I'm intrigued enough to want the next issue.

Comics are not all about speculation. You can read them you know.

First book from Grant that I have enjoyed in a long time. I'm in for the other 3 issues.

[siro123]

I enjoyed the comic and yes they are potty mouthed in this one. I will stick with it.

[Manilasunset-migration]

Got my copy today and I think its alright. I agree with the overuse of the swear words in the first few pages apart from that it could be a good mini.

Sure - and I do.

Thing is Buddy, you have read 25% of the story already and are still not decided wether to press on.

If it was a novel,it would be back in the library by now.

Thats the only problem with mini's is that they have to delivery a punchy story from page one.

Especially as this is only 4 eps,the reader has to be drawn in asap.

Just my .

I agree with this, plus, and I might sound crazy, but if the story is amazing and I fall in love with it, I'd be upset that I only get to read 3 more pieces and its over.

 

I simply don't like short stories because I want more of it.

The variant is going for $8-15 already. Very strange since it was a 1:1/buy as many as you want.

[dhurley]

I heard 1:4 on the variant

[Underground44]

Just read this one and I liked it. The over use of swear words didn't really worry me too much because I thought it was in context. I especially liked the look of the main character and I'm looking forward to see where it goes. It's certainly a really weird premise but an intriguing one also.

[Awax]

Read it and loved it.

Do you skip every mini?

 

If so, in not picking up Dancer, you have missed 5 of the best issues Image has put out in the last year. Absolutely awesome read.

[Beige]

With the greatest of respect, no,in answer to your question,I don't.

I do enjoy the odd 'mini-series' but I find (I think I wrote this somewhere else) if it doesn't "grab" me,then I don't continue.

Punk Rock Jesus is very good.

Alpha Girl was good.

As in 'spec' comics,they sucked!

I totally get what you are saying.

Please don't confuse 'not reading' with 'not buying'.

Many great mini/maxi books.

Vendetta/Watchmen anyone?

I really do enjoy a good book.

I prefer a good book I can sell on at a profit to pay for the ones I want to keep.

No offense meant, it's just what I do.

[Sandflea]

Must be a good book...just got back from my LCS; NO regulars or variants to be found...but had the variant in my pull.

 

The person in charge was miffed; he wanted a copy, but forgot to pull one (or several) for himself...
