Straight out of the 90s? Yep, that's why it sucked. |

He won't let us play with his balls. Says they're too valuable, and that kids shouldn't be exposed to the steroidal substance on his balls. |

I understand what you are saying, but life is what it is. McFarlane tossed away what good will he had by acting like a jackass. |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
So, what good will did you toss away? |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well, quite some time ago, I tossed away what little good will I had with my wife. Then she divorced me. |
||
|
||
|
|
||
|
Well that makes sense, why are you a jack ass to everyone else? |
||
|

Just doin' what comes naturally! I worked in a factory for a long time, until they closed. It was like being in a shark tank there. Kill or be killed, figuratively. ___ Where does one learn how to handle a bulldozer? In Grade School. |

Robert Kirkman is probably my favorite writer and maybe that is the reason why I felt let down after reading this. I don't see this as something I could get into or continue reading. I actually was quite enjoying it up until the last 4 pages where the title character is introduced. I am indifferent on McFarlane, I never read his Spiderman or Spawn stuff and I know he makes toys so me not liking this has nothing to do with my opinion of him... but this felt like sort of a cash grab, 'lets put Kirkman and McFarlane's name on this and see what happens.' (Trying something different here) Pros: - The dynamic between the brothers before and after Kurt's death. - The torture scene made me chuckle a bit. - Kirkman's writing keeps things interesting. Cons: - The name of this book is just stupid. - The name of this character is even more stupid. - The character design may be the worst idea ever. - Ottley's art is nowhere close to his Invincible stuff but that may be a by-product of McFarlane. - The death of Kurt was really glossed over, I had to check to see if I was missing pages So Kirkman writes a solid yet flawed story that is ruined by possibly one of the worst characters ever created, I mean c'mon he throws up his costume? WTF is that? I may have thought that was cool when I was 12 but that is just fucking stupid. STORY - 7 ART - 7 OVERALL - 6 (Minus 1 point for unoriginal title character) |

The action sequences are VERY 'Kick-Ass' It is pretty inconsistent all the way through and you are probably right about it being a collective mess and not Mcfarlane. |

When I score this the art is going to get raked, which is sad cause I like the style, but it is a mess. Three artists with very different styles come together apparantly trying to ape another style all together and create inconsistency.... it's a shame really. I like all three artists. |
