Buck Rogers, the first, best, and original Sci-Fi hero returns with Howard Chaykin drawing and writing this action packed incarnation of this iconic title. Over eighty years after the creation of the newspaper strip that become a household word, Howard Chaykin has returned the character and his universe back to basics: Buck Rogers, former World War I ace is accidentally suspended in time only to awaken to new and different earth, 500 years in the future, fragmented by war and ruled by an omnipotent force - the Chinese. Now, Buck along with Colonel Wilma Deering, begins a new fight, to free the United States!
Where Chaykin redeemed himself was in telling the specifics of the origin in some flashback pages, not eating up the entire first issue (or entire 1st story arc if he was some comics writers) rehashing the origin. We get quickly to some fresh story elements, lots of action, and a compelling hint at what's to come in the last panel that makes me want to read #2. Which makes it a very successful 1st issue in my book. Read Full Review
