I’d heard good things about this mini, so I decided to check it out.
Even though this story heavily references old obscure stories, I thought the summary pages about past stories were very well done, so I didn’t think I was missing anything. I had all the relevant information in the comic itself, without needing to go back and look for those stories.
However I must admit at first I was a little bit confused, and I had to re-read the first few pages of issue 1. But that went away pretty quickly and I was caught in the present story.
And as good as this adventure was, I wasn’t exactly impressed by it. It just felt like I’d read something like that already, even though this was a well done comic.
The art is very clear, perfect for this type of superhero/adventure story. Kirk has certainly improved.
Overall it’s not a story for me, maybe not anymore. I am looking for something a little bit more substantial and deep. But this was a very well done fun story.
