NIGHTCRAWLER Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Wow that 2nd print cover is NICE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Just read it and dont know what to think yet. Few thoughts. The art isnt very good. Its average at best or at least the style didnt appeal to me. The ghost thing didnt appeal to me. I know some might find that interesting, but the picture of the ghost before the power was just for me. I like the mystery with the sister. The setup with some sort of demon council looks promising. All in all the book wasnt bad it just didnt leave me wanting more. If I didnt read another issue I wouldnt feel like I miss something special. Thats what the writer should have impressed upon me wanting that next issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krighton Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 the art has a nice retro style to it...I liked it...then again some people think PP looks like a bunch of banana heads. No accounting for taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) The setup with some sort of demon council looks promising. I didn't catch that....what setup with demon council? Okay I prob used wrong term. The scene where the demonic servant is talking to five different screens of demons talking about getting their power back or bringing back their power under their control. Dont havr the book in front of me currently from memory. Edited April 20, 2013 by Fastballspecial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only appears in the last page of issue #2...which is primarily involving Zhang Guo and the tribe of the Spider-god. I also appear to have answered some of my own questions posed to Frank previously. In the teaser text from the Image website regarding issue #4: "THE FIVE TRIALS OF FABIAN GRAY" Fabian's ghostly affliction takes a turn for the worse while Iago terrorizes the Forgotten City! That must mean that the ghosts have some sort of toll on Fabian whenever he uses them. A price he isn't completely aware of yet I presume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what the writer should have impressed upon me wanting that next issue. You're clinically insane. Ok, I kid. We all have our opinions. I'm quoting Felix (Neus) here from page 61 tho, as he says it much more eloquently than I could here in regards to the art: " Yes. I've posted before that I dug the '70s Saturday morning cartoon aesthetic in the cover fonts and overall design...very Alex Toth influenced. It's one reason the book appealed to me. FG isn't anything revolutionary, but I think it's a fun concept with some killer art. I see skill in the book. The art is a big draw for me, and I rarely buy comics just for the art. Looking forward to the next issue." +10000 on this specific statement imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizarroChuck Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Went to a comic shop in Charleston, SC today. They had two #1s left, and I got them both at cover Captain's Comics? That's my LCS! Yeah, for some reason they didn't get any of the second issue or the second print of the first. They are pretty erratic with their Image stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt mean he is right just means he has different taste or lack there of I dont apologize for being an 80s comic art fan.
