Fuse - new Image book from Anthony Johnston/Justin Greenwood

[Joe Kim]

Really hooked after the first issue, anyone else buying in? Didn't know too much about either creator before hand, but gave it a shot today and really loved the story as well as the art style.

[Erndog]

Im picking it up!

[Joe Kim]

great job of world building and character development, very impressed. will be grabbing an eh variant or 2 from Jimmy for sure.

Just read it and really enjoyed it, but I had a feeling I would coming from The wasteland. If you guys like this I'd recommend giving umbral, johnston's other current ongoing at image (with mitten, original artist on the wasteland, while greenwood worked on some of the later arcs). Its interesting, I'm not a huge fan of greenwoods art because some of the faces bother me sometimes, but it just feels right for the book. Overall this was a really enjoyable read.

[Erndog]

I didnt like Umbral.

 

Should I be concerned?

[Geaux]

Nah, they don't really read similarly. I wouldn't be surprised if people who didn't like Umbral ended up liking The Fuse much more honestly. I just like everything Johnston writes so I was throwing it out there.

[Erndog]

Ok cool, I'll give it a read tonight and let you know what I think (thumbs u

[jjeanius]

In case anyone is interested, all of Justin's pages from issue 1 are NOW AVAILABLE!

[Joe Kim]

Very different from Umbral, kind of gave me a Firefly/Mass Effect vibe if anyone gets those references.

The Fuse #1

 

Diamond UK sold out and none on ebay UK at cover price and IT'S AMAZING!

 

It certainly reads better than my embarrassing new thread above

[Joe Kim]

I believe Jimmy's selling some of the "Eh Variant's" which are quite nice.

PASS.

 

Bought it, read it, didn't like it. I read comics to get away from the slew of police melodrama garbage TV shows...setting one in space doesn't help make it any better.

 

Oh well. Glad I didn't order heavy on this one

fair enough, he does cite procedurals as an influence in his little end note. i do see this as far more than your local CBS cop fodder.

I like it. Nothing overwhelmingly great but a nice first issue with a little character and world building. The biggest difference between Image and the big 2 is that Image always has to start with fleshing out both characters and the worlds they live in. Marvel and DC get to drop a new character into an ongoing story. I have a feeling the Fuse will be a very good story but too early to tell at this point.

Heres how I see the series going

 

Issue 2 we find out the homeless people are made out of garbage from the space ship

 

Issue 3 we see a segregation of these homeless made up of garbage men people.

 

Issue 4 african apartheid parable issue

Anyone here played mass effect? Feels like the Citadel no?

Just laughing at the post. Haven't read the book yet, but looking forward to it.

 

 

[Awax]

Read it last night and enjoyed it (thumbs u

I wasn't expecting to enjoy this based on the short preview in Previews but it was enjoyable enough and better than my expectations so look forward to the next issue.

 

Hope there's some actual art on the cover, I can't stand all these boring Hickman-esque designs.

[LarrysComics]

I loved the Deadly Class Eh variant, & the upcoming Revenger is jaw dropping.

 

That Fuse cover is atrocious.

 

Nobody knows better than me, you can't win em all.
