    In The House Of The Devil


    So this is the first time I read a comics about  Onslaught, never heard of him before, pretty exciting, eh?

     

    The Good

    I have to say that I just LOVED the drawings and the coloring, kind of graffiti - amazing. I can finally get attached to a comics, don't know whay, but I really like it that way, it's makes the plot more living, more interesing and thrilling. Also great that everything is understandable here. It's the first issue and there are a lot of new characters to expose the reader in something like 25 pages, and it's done very well.

    Also seems like there's gonna be a lot of action, the story seems really good.

     

    The Bad

    I still think they exposed too many characters at once. It was done well, but still - a little bit too much. Also I think that maybe people won't like the drawings [even though I did], the characters looks like kids or something. Maybe another something weird is that they jumped to the action too fast. The characters just got interduced and BAM we're in a battle.

     

    Anyways it's just great. I'm going to read the 2nd issue - LOVED IT

      Review: Onslaught Unleashed #1 0

      The monstrosity known as Onslaught has returned, and it'll take the combined efforts of the Secret Avengers and the Young Allies to vanquish him once again.  The Good Andrade's art has got fantastic style. I'm sure some readers will find it too unconventional for a story like this, but I was seriously digging its graffiti-like flourish. Though I'm not sure how appropriate Onslaught's return is (more on that below,) McKeever's definitely got a good handle on how these characters relate to these ...

      Falls Flat 0

      I'm trying to think of some redeeming features of this comic. I'm glad it was in colour. Writing was like a kindergarten collage of sayings taped to the pages, images weren't much better. Was the art style supposed to be a simplified version of Aeon Flux? Lots of convenient plot devices, hardly any character, slow reactions, no real decision making, surprisingly dull for the amount of stuff crammed onto a page. I have the next three in the set, but think I'll pass the series along instead....
