Curse
those Free Comic Book Day offerings! The first part of the Visible
Man (#47-52) was reprinted in the 2000 AD Free Comic Book Day
edition this year and I loved it. Then they advertised this book in
the back. Damn it! Another book that I was suckered into buying.
Colony Earth (#52-61) is also worth the price of admission.
Grant Morrison's Candy And The Catchman (#491) comes off like
something from one of DC's Bronze Age mystery titles. Tribal
Memories and Xtnct are both pure crap, and I am dumber for
having read them. This was a mostly enjoyable read that has just
enough good stuff in it to justify it's existence in my collection
and avoid the eBay sell pile.
Junk
Food For Thought rating: 3.25 out of 5.
The
OCD zone-
These Rebellion/ 2000 AD books are wider than standard US trades.
Paper
stock: Glossy coated stock. The paper feels dusty, a
common occurrence in these offshore produced books. It's probably
lead particles or whatever.
Binding:
Sewn binding in a softcover.
Cardstock
cover notes:
Dull matte coating, easily scuffed.
