Tomorrow's the day, Des! Pick up UA:AS #1 and post your thoughts on it. [Yes]

Oooooo


Aaaaaaaaa


It's here and it's good. We get some background on the characters and some current story. It's an introduction and a fun one at that. The art is simple, but very nice to look at. The story is a little more complex, and Way balances humour with pathos (as much as you can with brand new characters.)

Well I won't mention the preview CBR has for issue #2. It would be a shame to dangle that in front of you.

WELL worth the wait. [sigh] [Love]

AND I got an unexpected bonus : one of my two copies of #1 has the Gerard Way incentive cover! I have to e-mail DCBS and thank them, as I was unaware there was even a variant available!

wOOT! [Bouncing Boy]

Ahhhh good goofy fun! Issue #2 is out, and it's a great read. We get a glimpse of how truly bizare life is for a super-hero.

I love how bits like their "mother" and snippets of their history (or in 00.05's case, future) are woven into the story organically-- the half-page back cover of observations by Vanya (00.07) of her "siblings" is cool. I really want to know what happened to The Horror, but have a feeling that's going to be left unrevealed over this arc... Vanya and 00.05 seem to be the keys to the story so far.

Awesome, awesome! This and ATOMIC ROBO#1 are tied for my favorite comic this shipment. [Cool]

okay! [Big Grin]

I actually have been very lax in my comic book buying and haven't been to the CBS in like five weeks! So I shall definately remind myself to look for this when I go.

Thanks for the reminder!

Issue #3 is scheduled for tomorrow folks. Way does a fine job of setting issue up without needing too much backstory.

Heere's an interview with him on CBR.
