Shanna preview is up...

14 posts in this topic

Milehigh has a full-issue preview here.

 

I have to say that I must be getting old. While the art is nice, I found the story lacking to the point that I might pick this up in a collected form, but that wouldn't be a sure bet.

 

Thanks,

Oh please. It was fun. Silly, mindless fun. I'll probably wait for the trade so I can read it all at once, but still, it was a fun book.

 

I'm not dismissing it completely, just off to a slower start than I'd have liked.

 

It does harken back to some of those B science fiction movies I'd catch on weekend reruns as a kid.

 

Thanks,

Perhaps, but I have seen those movies quite a few times and the translation was quite obvious. I would not mind reading "mindless fun" as long as it is not a blatant riff.

Ever notice how modern comics look more like movie storyboards? That may be all well and good for setting up a movie but it sucks for making a good comic.

 

Just look at you will get for $1 ( 10 pgs. -- a/b half the book) -- some guys walk into a lab and bust open a tank with a honey in it. Romita would have done it in 2 pages. Ditko would have done it in 1 pg. Kirby would have done it in 1 pannel.
