SHIELD #1
Read this twice and to say this story is huge would be an understatement. There are so many ideas and concepts running through this that I've got a feeling we're going to need a scorecard to keep up. Okay, maybe I will. High concepts are not my forte. I much more enjoy the street level stories like Batman and Daredevil so my little brain has a harder time wrapping itself around some of this stuff.
I have to admit though that I find this to be an intriguing book with just the first issue. I like the legacy of SHIELD but not sure about bringing back Da Vinci. Also for this being SHIELD, I'd sure like to see a character that I'm interested in. Hell, Dum Dum Dugan would be fine.
Now the art is beautiful and well worth the price of admission. I love any artist that focuses on the detail and Weaver does just that. In simple terms: the pictures are purdy.
Story: 7
Art: 10
My Score: 8.75
I'm going to keep picking this up for a while. Nice pick, if I was smarter I'd probably have enjoyed it even more.
