If you've ever wanted to read “She Walks in Beauty” to someone and really mean every word, New Romancer #1 is the comic for you. Read Full Review

“New Romancer” #1 does have a few problems though. It tries to pack a lot into it's pages which is normally something I enjoy but it was just a little too much. We get a sort of origin story, a lot of new characters and the only one we really get to know is Lexy. It's important to be attached to her right away but there's no true connection for us and the people she works with. There are a lot of fast transitions that don't all add up but this is something that can easily be worked out. Vertigo has something here that they haven't ever really had. This is a cute book with a light sense of humor and an art style that will pull in those who may have never read a Vertigo book. Read Full Review

New Romancer #1 is a comic that has potential, but feels like it needed some more fine-tuning. While most of the writing is solid and the artwork is fantastic, the story itself feels awkward and has a lot of holes in it currently. There could be something to this comic worth checking out, but I would recommend waiting a bit until the second issue comes out to get a better read on what it is planning and where it is going.

This first issue rushes too quickly through its concept, not allowing any time for the readers or characters plausible time to adjust and making for an awkwardly paced and unsatisfying debut. Read Full Review

"New Romancer" #1 is an all right start, but it's a little slow at first as it clearly sets up what's still to come. In the end, that's reasonable so long as things pick up a bit in the next installment; there are just enough hooks here to make people come back. Those last three pages give me enough hope for what's still on the horizon that I want to see what happens next. Milligan and Parson are determined to show us that romance isn't dead just yet.

I'm worried that I'm coming off as exclusively condemnatory, when in reality, New Romancer isn't all that bad. There are clearlytalentedpeople behind it trying to flex their intellectual muscle while striving to convey interesting concepts. But these positive assets can't find their way to a structured, concise product. It just feels like a pseudo-academic title among a sea of comic book pseudo-academia. New Romancer feels penciled in, something that ticks off all the boxes on the Vertigo checklist without any of the guts that anchor the headliners. Just being quirky and academic isn't enough to propup a franchise, or even enough to compete with some of the bettertitles already available on the rack. What we're left with is a few fun ideas withnothing holding them together. Read Full Review
