Fallen Angels 2 - Not as good as the first issue but moves the story along well enough.
It did move along, but yeah, didn't grab me as much as the first issue. Plus, man, this art is just killing this book. Same stuff he always does. Making faces look utterly ridiculous, using dark shadows to hide most of the art, showing only part of the face (a mouth, an eye, wtc ...) to hide his obvious artistic flaws in that area and the use of reoccurring panels, which were less this issue admittedly, just kills me. On for one more issue, but I'm dropping this if it doesn't wow me in story next issue. Heck, if I do stop paying for this I may not even read it for 'free' on MU when it hits ... when I sign back up that is.
Finally going for the yearly MU sub this next time!
New Mutants 2 - Not Hickmans best but still building the story. Potential is still here.
Uh-Oh, haven't read this yet, but this is one X-book that I enjoy for the art alone. Plus trusting Hickman, which is easy enough, to, like you, easily see the potential is there.
I've spent most of my reading time this week reading Lemire and Walta's Sentient. Jeff, I know you went back and read a lot of Lemire a month or so back, did you get to this one? A six issue mini (collected, sadly, for the same price on Comixology) by the creative team of Vision? I saw it and had to get it. It was a pretty good story. If you have not read it, and you end up getting it, try not to read about it first
The spoiler in the description kinda made me mad when I got to it (it happens early) as I didn't get the impact I would have. Ya know, spoiled
If you have read it ... what did ya think? Or link me to your original post as I obviously forgot it
Fallen Angel #2 - Ugh this art. Story didn't pull me further in like I had hoped either
Sentient - A good sci-fi story that I was in the mood for when I didn't know I was in that mood
Rai #1 - A nice opening or more precise a nice continuation of the Fallen World story.
Ice Cream Man #16 - I know Jeff was thinking about bailing from this, and I get why, but Jeff, if you do or did get this, maybe you can help explain to me what the deal was here? The ending just seemed like a standard story ending, unless I missed something.
This is the entire story, generally speaking, so major spoiler here
That was the gist and while yeah, it is a tragic type story, not unusual for this title, it didn't have the usual creepy, supernatural or edgy vibe that most of the issues have. I am left wondering if it was just a straight forward story about a father taking the blame (yes, it is more involved than that, but ya know ...) or if I really missed something.
No, I am not saying you should get this issue, but if you did, help a brotha out?
