MARINEMAN

[Perry]

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.

Ian Churchill bascially made an educational comic about the sea.

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.
