While I generally seek to highlight the positive in books I've read that I'm excited about, I can't say that I found many reasonsnot to read this book. This promises to be a solid sci-fi story with a great leading character and plot. This is a book that will make you excited about comics. Barbiere, Brown, Affe, and Sharpe delivered one of my favorite issues of the year, and I'm chomping at the bit for more. Read Full Review

This concept isn't new, whatsoever. But it is interesting. It is executed in the best way, and shows a lot of imagination and creativity; for that alone, I'll be keeping up with this series, and you should, too. Read Full Review

Overall, I really likedRevisionist #1. I know that DC is launching Rebirth this week, but if you can find room in your pull list for something completely new, I recommend it be this book. It definitely has a lot of potential to go to some really cool places, but it isn't over-reliant on that potential. It realizes much of its potential right off the bat, and that's a rare occurrence.

The Revisionist delivers a very solid opening issue here that teases the basic concept and what it has to offer. It doesn't clue us into the bigger story, presuming there is one, but I figure it'll spend its second issue introducing us to some of the mythology of what we know Martin will become. Frank Barbiere has a pretty decent track record for me with what he's worked on, though I tend to find his original projects work better for me with the pacing and overall objective of it. His pairing with Garry Brown is spot on here as it feels like Brown has really got that whole dynamic action element down and Barbiere is delivering some great scenes for him to just cut loose with. I'm definitely looking forward to checking out more of this book down the line. Read Full Review

The start to this adventure about fathers, sons, and time travel did not disappoint for a first issue. The Revisionist has a lot of potential for the limitless possibilities created when dealing with time and time travel. Read Full Review

Maillaro: Yeah, I will match your 4 for the writing and drop the art to a 3. It just didn't do much for me. It didn't help that I read Preacher and the new Punisher series this week, and throughout this comic I kept thinking of Steve Dillon. I am spoiled that way. Read Full Review

This book has a few influences to consider. As mentioned there is the Marty reference, but there are stronger ties to films like Looper potentially and the TV series Quantum Leap. Very much like Doctor Sam Beckett, who stepped into his Quantum Accelerator and vanished, Marty is on his own mission, putting the things that once went wrong, right. Only this time, Marty is using a gun rather than good intentions and a hologram version of Dean Stockwell. The issue is a fun read and unlike the majority of AfterShock's books which feel like mini-series or mini-runs, this actually feels like it could run into an ongoing series. Read Full Review

A very enjoyable debut that has a lot to offer science fiction fans. Read Full Review

It's a bit of humor that a comic about time travel has a retro action feel in so many ways. I myself grew up on those films and it's a genre you actually don't see as much anymore, so this is a fun return to that type of story. If you're a fan like me, this is one to check out and I think Barbiere has another hit on his hands. Read Full Review

Though the book may be pervasively pulpy, Barbiere does an astounding job at making the reader care about certain characters very quickly. It's only the first issue, and I already found myself genuinely upset by the treatment of more than one player. But above all else, this book is pure motion. Brown's jumpy, blasty, punchy art leads you quickly into the next panel — you're right there,tearing ass through the high security prison, hot on Marty's heels. Much of The Revisionist recalls retroaction flicks, and even the colors in Marty's communication sequences with his father wouldn't feel out of place in Eighties-eraMiami. It's a little all over the place, but that's the nature of being unstuck in time. All signs point to plots converginginto an enjoyably unholy mess by the series' end. Read Full Review

If you like time travel stories then you might dig this one. I didn't. Maybe I've seen and read too many lately to get interested in this one or maybe it just didn't have anything interesting about it. I can see others really liking this book though, I don't know why they would, but that's not for me to decide. It's pretty average in every column and that's what I'll pass along to you before you pick it up for a read. Read Full Review
