AHOY promised a lot going into this debut and they have delivered a comic that feels at times more magazine than comic (in a good way). You really feel like you get a lot out of this and if this is the start, I can't wait to see what's next. Read Full Review

It also helps that the content is extremely well done, especially the main story of The Wrong Earth. It did it’s job of introducing me to new characters, a new story, and a new style and I am absolutely on board already. The extra content in the comic book magazine is quality content and shows us the amazing stuff AHOY Comics is about to unleash on us with the rest of their titles. All in all, reading through this issue was such an enjoyable experience and I recommend others pick it and spend the time with it as well. Read Full Review

Swapping heroes takes a dark turn in this book. One will either find this incredible fun or just too dark. The five page comic is a delight and the three pager of text is weirdness one cannot stop reading. There's something for everyone in this. It will be impressive to see if the main story can beyond the tropes of the characters. I'm willing to return for more. Read Full Review

A strong opening issue, not just for 'The Wrong Earth,' but for AHOY Comics as a whole. Read Full Review

Overall, I thought that this was a fun and jam-packed first issue from AHOY Comics. The Wrong Earth #1 is an entertaining and compelling story, and this coupled with the additional content makes for some great reading. Read Full Review

This is a lot of quality entertainment packed into a single issue. If it sets the standard for future issues, it's a steal given the cover price. If #1 comes in a special introductory size, it's a grand start to the series. Either way, it's helmed by people of amazing achievement and even greater potential as evidenced by sneak peeks at their other previews. Read Full Review

A mix of a modern comic and an old style comic magazine, Wrong Earth may be the right title to pick up if you are wanting to get on the band wagon of a promising new series early. Read Full Review

Wrong Earths Does a good job setting up the premise. The series sets up characters distinctly with mannerisms and personas that make them stand out. We know the stakes of the characters as well as the consequences of both main characters in their different perspective Worlds. The art style conveys these particular consequences as well as makes it interesting to read. Peyer certainly created a good entry point into what may be an interesting series. Read Full Review

It was wise for AHOY to base their first story around 2 veterans like Ingle and Peyer. They have the pedigree to make this work. With a little backstory this could have been an even better issue. I will be on the lookout for issue 2. Read Full Review

The opening issue for this series is a bit light on story and character for my tastes but it plays to the simplicity of what it wants to use as a premise well. Read Full Review

How the hell did I miss this? Brilliant.

THis was a great read!

I finally have the chance to read it. And it was very nice. There is maybe too much Batman link but I hope that will be only for this first issue. I'm hooked by the end and it's what is important. It's cool too have a stinger solo story too, but I didn't like it.
I looking forward for next issue.

Cover - In link & Nice 2/2
Writing - Well made. I find licked it (But too much Batman showing up in my mind). 2.5/3
Arts - That was great. The prime story or the short stinger one. 3/3
Feeling - Don't miss it. It's a very good comics ! 2/2

The media gaggle was agog with platitudes for newcomers Ahoy Comics. How could Ahoy possibly live up to that kind of hype?

Well, I'm here to tell you, Ahoy did it, AND HOW!

The Wrong Earth is amazing from cover to cover. It's better than advertised. The "comic book magazine" format is tremendous. There's stuff to read in there, in addition to the stories, which are totally BOFFO! Also love the "Golden Age" treatment on Stinger. I kept waiting for the ink to come off on my hands, but I wound up like the kid in the M&M commercial. Melts in your mouth, not in your hand!

The only suggestion I would have is to condense the author Q&A's and gimme more STUFF!

This start augurs well for Ahoy! Can't wait to get my hands on CAPTAIN GINGER, HIGH HEAVEN, and of course, Edgar Allan Poe's Snifter of Terror! As Tony Montana said, "The world is YOURS, Ahoy!" more

What if Batman 66 and Frank Miller's Batman traded places? If you are intrigued by that question, and also like Golden Age superheroes, you're going to love this one. It's far more than just a great premise. The first issue really delivers.

The backup feature starring his Dragonflyman's sidekick Stinger is worth the price of admission.

Unexpectedly good!

I thought this was great. It's a good sign when you read a comic and you are bummed when it ends. I want issue 2 now. Such a cool concept to take the 'gosh, gee whiz' superhero and put him in the current style of dark, gritty comics.

I really want to join with others in saying how great this is. The concept of the main story is a great one, but honestly, in this first issue, it doesn't really go anywhere, but rather seems to revel in its own cleverness. Frankly, it comes across as a little bit smug. Yes, Earth Alpha did remind me of reading Batman as a child, but at the same time it was too accurate, so that I was simply irritated by it.

I'm hoping that having set things up, the following instalments will deliver on the premise in a better way. The pastiche of the "silver age" is simply too heavy-handed in this issue: it is too knowing, while the modern Miller-esque Earth Omega gets too little attention. It all starts getting interesting at the end of the strip, but then it is cut short because of the need to cram in a pointless "silver age" Stinger strip (wow, I can live without that). Giving those extra pages to the main story may well have delivered a more even first instalment.

As for the Grant Morrison prose story? Oh sweet lord, save me from ever having to read something like that again! Grant appears to have turned in one of his efforts from when he was 12 years old and his English teacher said that the class had to use similes and adjectives in their story. It is full of nuggets of pure turgid reaching for competence. Morrison can write great comics, but his prose is awful. Some of my particular favourites of clunkiness are,


"Every tattoo told a story, of course - the winking, lascivious merman he'd earned after his battle with the Fish-Priests of Mandaloo told the story of Basic Instinct, the 1992 erotic thriller, starring Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas." Awful.


"On his hairy, burly forearm, a long dead Azerbaijani miser had inked a gaunt and spectral Grim Reaper, clad in sepulchral sacerdotal robes, with a full-length scythe clenched in one overly-knuckled fist; this stark image condensed the complete story of the 1998 Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan vehicle You've Got Mail..." Please, shoot me now. (And what on Earth does "overly-knuckled" mean? FFS).

Truly terrible writing.

The magazine approach is clearly different, but it all feels so forced; "Look at me! Look at me!" it cries. I appreciate that AHOY want to set their stall out as something different from other publishers, but this is just too try-hard for my liking. I will read the next issue because the central premise of The Wrong Earth is an interesting and strong one, but Tom Peyer has a lot of work to do from hereon if he is to realize the potential. And please, no more arch "silver age" backup strips, and definitely no more of Grant Morrison's school work. more
