Terrifics - I liked this first issue. Rodney said this wasn't getting good reviews.
Yeah, I saw where he said that here somewhere and I just have to ask ... Rodney, my man, where did you see it was getting bad reviews? You need to stop listening to those sites/reviewers
because this was a solid first issue. I can get how not everyone is going to enjoy everything, but if you are getting multiple reports that this issue was bad ... I just can't agree. Sure, not much happens, but it is only a first issue after all. I enjoyed the art (all aspects of it), the pacing and the dialog was also on point.
If you are reading the bad reviews from Pierce Lydon over at Newsarama, he is ... he seems to like giving negative reviews anyway. At least from the reviews I have seen of him. Hell even with his review of this he seems like an FF fanboy that doesn't see that this comic IS a nod to that team. His 5 outta 10 for this being too much like the FF is totally missing the point.
If the bad reviews are coming from Outright Geekery, Kaboom, Comic Book Bin or the like, take those with a grain of salt. A lot of those smaller comic sites are just trying to get click bait and give some reviews, at least it seems, based on how much they can shock people.
Comicbook.com ... just has lots of peep. Don't key in on any one review there.
For a good review site, that gets all the reviews from most all other sites, always check out Comic Book Round-Up
HERE to get a better sense of how titles and issues are hitting on average from around the net. There, you will see that Terrifics are getting an 8.0 average from critics and an 8.5 from us fans. I think that is a pretty good rating for an issue one
I say flip through the issue, if you can find one
, next time you are at your LCS and see what ya think
