Issue #2Got to be honest and say that the art work in this issue really bothered me in spots. Really seemed muddy ... too hard to distinguish what what going on in some panels (especially with the splash pages). I was bothered by the art so much so that about 1/4 of the way through the book, I was wondering if I was gonna go ahead and drop my pre-order for issue #4. I wasn't totally out of the title due to the art, but there was a twinge about dropping the title.
However, just after that said 1/4 mark, things started to gel with the writing and the art. The art got a lot better (I honestly think this artist works better when confined to the smaller panels) and the writing just started to pop again. Martinex started to shine more as a character. Thinngs are brought up that have me intrigued. Like the upcoming "jump event" that Gladiator discussed. An event the Gladiator has already experienced while Vance has not. Bit it will happen. And the mention of that herald of the "Old Hunger", which is "an old gravitational force" (?... Galactus or ...?) and of course the return of The Captain America and the threat of The Stark (classic stuff) all have me pretty excited about the future of this title.
Yep, I was worried, but I am solidly back on board now.
Jimmy, if you are still signed up for MarvUnl, I totally get you wanting to just read this title there. There is nothing here that demands reading the month it comes out, so I get it if you just go there for this title, so don't feel obligated. I enjoy this title and will continue to buy it, but if it was available to me digitally in a couple months, I am not sure I would keep buying it. I would most likely wait for MarvUnl. I am not regretting having to buy monthly, but if you are ... make that jump, my man!
