Trees by Warren Ellis and Jason Howard

Seriously? Did I just pay cover price to read a preview? What a disappointing 1st issue. Vaguely interesting, but not impressed with the 2 minute read. If it takes me longer to unbag and board the book than it does to read it, then I'll be waiting for the trade if the reviews for issue 2 are good. Huge pet peeve of mine cramming several pages of adds at the end of the book. At least disperse them throughout the issue and try to fool me into thinking its a meatier issue than it really is.

 

Rant over.

I thought it was good. I'm interested to see where it goes.

Image and Vertigo seem to be pretty bad for that lately

[Awax]

I didn't think it was that short, not like Shutter

 

But, the 1st issue had me wanting more, which is what a good comic does. I'll check out #2.

[Mac Man]

Yeah... it seems like it has a lot of potential but there are a number of threads being introduced, which keeps readers from getting to really dig into anyone character. Still, there's enough there to make it worth checking out issue #2.

Zero #8 was the shortest comic books i've read all year

Have you read Moon Knight #2?

[AnthonyTheAbyss]

#1 was okay. Gonna give #2 a try. But that better blow my doors off for me to pick up #3.

[Kal-El]

This was okay...a bit intriguing certainly but not captivating. A little jumpy for my taste but I'll definitely check out the next two issues to see where its headed.

now you're going to make me pull 1 & 2 out of the ol' short box and read em. Is the story at least good?

[dpiercy]

I liked it and will be picking up issue 2.

 

 

 

Are we to assume the woman before the "Today I landed on a different planet." panel is a hermaphrodite?

Well she did have a " tree " down there herself

I had the same vibe. quite an odd panel..i did a double take on that one.

[KEY ISSUES Comics]

I bought it solely because the cover made me think of 28 DAYS LATER. My LCS owner said he enjoyed it and that it made him want (need) to read it a second time.

 

I've yet to read it.

 

(and the store has TONS of copies!!!)

[comicstock]

I wonder if this series will take root?

Can we leaf puns out of this?

[Jackhartmann]

I was not a fan of #2. Just wasn't interesting.

You might be interested to know that Warren Ellis said this:

 

"TREES #2 came out today. It may be a difficult second issue for people who came to the book with a specific set of expectations. By issue 3, everyone will know what they’re dealing with, I think. It may not be the novel you think it is?"

[ChrisInBaltimore]

So I read issue 1 and 2 this morning. Issue 1 really intrigued me and I instantly reached over and grabbed issue 2. It was a stinker. I'm debating whether or not to pull it, at the moment…

[jaybes]

Yup. Dropped this instantly after #2. I was already on the fence, and the second issue was really disappointed. I enjoyed the art in #1 but for some reason the art in #2 was distractingly bad. I'll be waiting for trade for this one (if that).
