Wolfcop #1 |
Oct 27, 2016 |
Overall, the creative team behind "Wolfcop" #1 failed to comprehend whether its source material could translate to a comic book. I actually believe it can, but not without understanding how and why it must change. If not, then you are left with a book that completely misses the mark while appealing to only a small audience. This is truly lowest common denominator. |

Seven to Eternity (2016) #1 |
Sep 22, 2016 |
Overall, Remender and Opena have delivered a beautiful book that is multi-layered and filled with storytelling. I'm pleased to say it is worth your time and money because so much has been poured into it. It certainly has a lot more places to go however, yes in terms of story, but mostly in changing up the conventions of its genre. I would love to see the female characters get a bigger role, the examples in this issue have not been given a lot to do or have simply been a way to motivate the main character. I'm also looking forward to how Remender deals with his villain, but for a first issue "Seven to Eternity" shows so much promise and potential, I advise you get on now. |
