It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, eh? Well, time to get right back into it.
Daytripper #1
Um. I don’t really know how to digest this one. With a title like “Daytripper” and all of this build up about how he’s a writer and references to all sorts of things all over the place and whatnot, that ending has me incredibly confused. The build up was, I thought, to something vaguely supernatural starting to happen. Was that a one shot?
Echo #17
You know, for an issue that was essentially an information dump it wasn’t that bad. I understand none of the science explained save for the bits that were teh “action movie version” but I now know the history of Annie. The whole thing is just guys sitting around and talking and, while I’m sure it was important, I’m a little anxious for the story and action to start picking up again.
God Complex #1
It was a good bit of fun first issue to the series, which is good considering how much of it I’d seen from Oeming pimping it. The two page spreads with dark boarders kept throwing me off and I wasn’t sure where my eyes were supposed to go from panel to panel as the whole bloody thing is kind of dark and it’s hard to tell, but the story of a modern day pantheon of Greek gods is always fun and one who quits to the ire of everyone else just makes it better.
Although, I do have to note one rather annoying thing. Whoever was doing the lettering wasn’t paying attention. Typos. Obvious typos and an error with setting the characters in a line of dialogue. These errors should not happen, people.
Unwritten #8
It took me entirely too long to figure out where in the series this was taking place and if I’d grabbed an old issue. It’s a nice look into the other side and other people involved in the Tom in jail arc, but while I did enjoy it, I’m not sure it was worthwhile if the kids or the warden just disappear in the next arc. They all really do seem like fleeting characters in the overall scheme of things, though the kids joining the main arc might make for some interesting developments. Especially is Tom isn’t so good with kids.
