LOW from Image Comics by Remender, Tocchini, et al 0

[jjeanius]

#1 & 2: Slow character development. And it was worth it! #3 and #4 are great. Looking forward to #5 and future issues.

 

In #4 Letters, Remender said he prefers this to be a 60 issue run.

 

Agreed! This is one of my favorite reads right now.

 

Absolutely love this book so far! I also really enjoy the art (especially the covers!).

This started off too slow for me. I like the art though. Maybe I'll try #2 or #3 to see if I can get into it.

 

I loved Last Days Of American Crime by Remender and Tocchini.

I'm loving this book. And it's getting some attention from the general public. It's third in the top selling TPB list for March-2015.

I bailed after the sixth issue. Thought it was boring and the art was muddled. Didn't know what was going on in some of the panels. I'm out.

[SquareChaos]

Also felt the art was tough to follow at times. I like the concept. I picked up a copy of the convention hardcover, and if I can get in to that, I'll pick it back up again.

One of my favorite books. A great read.

I absolutely love this book. I think we might be witnessing the start of something special.

 

I think I can tell when Greg was struggling with deadlines and the art is a bit rushed (most notably, in issue 6), but for the most part I really love his art. IMO, they should just slow it down and let him work at his page to deliver the best product possible. I don't mind the wait.

I love the art when it is sharp, but yeah, some pages... just a muddled wash of color and I couldn't tell what I was looking at.

 

Love the covers though - looking for some CGC copies of this book.

I like the story more than a little. I was surprised in issue #1 and I find the story completely unpredictable ...which us the way I like it.

I picked up the ECCC Exclusive Hardcover too and have read the first two issues so far.

 

I am enjoying the story and the colors, but I do have to study the art sometimes, which can be fun. I read through a page and then study it for awhile.

 

I sent a best offer on a Low #1 SDCC Variant in the United Kingdom and he accepted it. I was interested to see what condition it would arrive in, and he actually put it in a fancy sleeve, ice cream sandwiched it, bubble wrapped it, bomb proofed it, so it arrived in NM+. I will probably send it in with my next sub!

 

Looking forward to reading the rest of the HC.

Low's TPB sales are back to where I expected them to be.

What triggered the sudden jump in Low's TPB sales last month? It probably was included in a loot crate or something similar.

 

On what date is #7 to be released? It is to be determined?

 

This book deserves more attention. This book is so good.

[jaybes]

Agreed, this is always top of my pull list. I know the art is polarizing, but I'm in the camp that loves it. No idea when 7 comes out but I can't wait.

[jjeanius]

Definitely one of my top two or three books right now. So good!

They have a new colorist Dave McCaig for issue 8 and going forward. I personally didn't mind Greg's colors and I don't mind Dave's. What's everyone's thoughts on the change?

[jjeanius]

I'm guessing this is an attempt to take a bit of work off of Greg's plate to speed up production a bit. I'm all for it as long as the quality of the product is not affected.

I am hoping it gets affected....as in gets better. I am a big fan of the story but HATE the coloring. Drives me bonkers.

 

As they say, to each his own

Interesting. Rememder just announced in the last issue of Low that he's departing from Marvel to spend more time on his creator owned books...wonder if the decision of Tochini not coloring has anything to do with increased pace from Rick? Either way, I love Gregs colors, and I hope the book keeps the same feel. Really love this series.

[the authority]

I like the colors too. Definitely not your typical look for a comic book but that's why I like it...well, that and I really enjoy the story.

[jjeanius]

Agreed. I just hope the new colorist can capture the same tone of the previous issues.

 

Absolutely one of my favorite books right now.

[revivedrevival]

So. Spooning. Good.
