  Major Spoilers - Dave Conde

  Dec 24, 2012

  The other failing I see in the art is in the depiction of action. Fight scenes don't flow from panel to panel. For example, if I reverse engineer the script, one fight works out something like this: Panel 1-Five thugs, standing within a 5 meter circle of one another, are shooting at Iris. Panel 2-from 25 meters away, Iris leaps at the nearest thug. Panel 3-Iris stabs thug in the back, somehow. Other thugs disappear, only to re-appear 2 panels hence" And so on. Fight scenes don't have to make 100% logical sense, but, like Star Trek technobabble, they have to make just enough sense that the reader's brain fills in and/or glosses over the gaps. That's not what happens here.THE BOTTOM LINE: Another atomic Christmas miracle Read Full Review
