Murphy's art was just beautiful and I'll definitely add him to my list of artists that I'll grab anything from.<br /><br />CBR threw up an absolutly awful review of the book, wherein the author complained that 5 pages without dialogue were a waste of the reader's time, apparently forgetting that comics are a visual medium.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05447056995172551179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5494492594350318711.post-6410460198258949972010-01-21T13:33:51.143-06:002010-01-21T13:33:51.143-06:00I've seen some complaints about the five-page ...I've seen some complaints about the five-page silent sequence of Joe walking through his house, but I have to say that was my favorite part of the book. It was akin to the map of a fantastical realm you often find in fantasy novels, and which are so fun to pore over and return to throughout your reading of the work. Its almost certain that everything in that house, and little details such as where Joe left his backpack, will play into the remainder of the series in a major way. <br /><br />I also have to say, as much as I love Morrison, Murphy's art is what really makes the first issue pop. Story-wise its all set-up (promising, well-done set-up, but set-up nonetheless), but the art is spectacular. Great first issue and its almost unbelievable that's it only a dollar.Neal Kitterlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082841276211336322noreply@blogger.com
