1048

It is a pretty package

This is the second of this title I have read, and have loved both (and not just because there are well created gay characters either, though that helps). The plot is often silly, or just plain obvious, but I'm really not reading it for the plot. It is a pretty package (heh package) which woos with enough style for me to overlook the lack of storyline review, sudden and sometimes strange transitions, and a huge lack of logic. Read it for the fun, the art, the coloring, the men making out. ( )

I am so, so on this book. The art was enjoyable, but has a sameness to many other comics/graphic novel's I've seen. The story concept was great, but the implementation was disjointed and limited. Firstly there was too little writing, which made events hurried and not very subtle. Slowing down the pace to so we could see more how the individuals of the Authority fall apart and building up on humanity's growing hopelessness, would have been more enjoyable. However, I felt rushed through the first and blindsided with the second (although core to the story concept, it seemed more like it was tacked on).

Personally, had I paid the full price for this book, I would have been pissed. However, for $5.00 it was an enjoyable enough read. ( )
