Both Kubert brothers are capable of nothing more than pure, unadulterated pish. I’ve never been able to figure out why they were so popular when they are surely mediocre at best…
Anyways, this issue was pretty good, but it did all zip past in a bit of a blur, didn’t it? While I enjoyed the trashy, knowing silliness of it all (as I always do) I couldn’t help but feel that a couple of the more interesting moments of this issue were strangely neglected in terms of how much panel time they got…
I really love the resolution to the Miles/Phat storyline, because I genuinely didn’t see it coming. I’ll be very interested to see where Milligan goes with these guys after this issue, presuming they both survive the next issue…
Guy/Mr Sensitive creeps the hell out of me by ra way… there’s always been something so wonderfully loony about his motivations and he’s very good for the melodrama, I think.
As for the cover, well I think it’s all right. It’s nothing special, but nothing offensive either.
Frank Quitely is a brilliant artist, and I honestly think that people grossly exaggerate how ugly his characters are. Sure, they look a little odd sometimes, but on the whole I think that they look just right. And you just plain can’t fault his storytelling skills, cos they are just perfect as far as I’m concerned. |
