Title: MARINEMAN Post by: Perry on October 30, 2010, 03:27:48 PM Not ordering it as I am dropping titles left and right, but for the second month in a row I almost put it on my pull.
It just looks like so much damn fun. Whoever gets this, must post on it ... damn it. ;D Title: Re: MARINEMAN Post by: Gay Titan on November 10, 2010, 04:54:10 PM MARINEMAN #1 (OCT100442), a 32-page full-color comic book written and drawn by Ian Churchill and released by Image Comics, will be on sale for $3.99 on December 1, 2010.

That's really what I got from it. Churchill shows passion for the main character and all things sea related. Had some interesting info about no-limits free-diving and lemon sharks for you ocean science geeks that miss SeaQuest. (Wait, does anyone miss SeaQuest?) Plus, I liked the artwork. That's the positive I found. However, the overall story, based on the first issue, shows no signs of the same passion at all. It introduces the characters, who didn't feel all that special, and without a linking plot until the last few pages. But in those last pages I'm still unclear what that plot actually is. And the so-called "cliffhanger" at the end didn't have me wanting to know what happens at all, all I wanted to know is why that was deemed a "cliffhanger." Maybe it's aimed at kids and I'm in the wrong demo. But for a kids book there's a TON of dialog here. Comiccraft was working over time. Maybe it gets better...pass it off to a child into science and maybe they'll dig it. |
