I just read it and raced over here to say AWESOME! Thank you soooo much for turning me into this book because i totally would have missed it otherwise, and it is great. Reminds me a bit of Saga, and I don't know if it's just me, but reading it (especially the scenes with Grey Walker and his "savages" in the bar I can totally see it as a cartoon - has a bit of a Cowboy Bebop feel even.<br />So good, thank you again sir!!!Shawn C.

NOOOOO!!!. But instant gratification aside, it's Image and they're really good at doing supplemental printings, so hopefully issue 1 will be mine in a week or two.<br />I think You'll dig the Shield and the Red Wing, the latter being a PERFECTLY delightful example of what they call "wide screen comics".Shawn C.

Your description sounds amazing, so i will have to remedy that. I'll be sure to check out Red Wing too.Tommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16202511669664157437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4325003206337738137.post-45232578076870572982013-04-02T19:11:30.427-05:002013-04-02T19:11:30.427-05:00I'd not heard of this but after Your recommend...I'd not heard of this but after Your recommendation I'm picking this up Thursday when I hit my local shop. Hickman's good, real good. He's kind of Grant Morrison lite, but that is not a bad thing. He's definitely cut from the same fringe science mold as Morrison, and has a similar world view in his writing. He did a book called Red Wing about a year and a half ago - great! Should be in trade by now, only 4 issues. Also, he had a Shield series for Marvel that is just insane - it's Shield of old (real old) with Tony Stark and Reed Richard's fathers alongside Nikola Tesla, Sir Isaac Newton and a host of other historical characters, but all over the place in time and space. Really cool. Shawn C. Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00684621131998544464noreply@blogger.com
