xkoenig's The Ravagers #2 - Shadows of the Past review

    Avatar image for xkoenig

    Well, I'm liking it :)

    I picked up this series out of interest for the characters and for Ian Churchill's art. So I have no real grasp of the story that's going on in Superboy, Legion Lost or Teen Titans at all, which may be a good thing as it sounds confusing and perhaps contradictory... With just Ravagers to read I can enjoy it for itself, and I definitely am! Howard Mackie is a good writer. This is just a good comic in my opinion, and I really like it. We're getting to know these characters as they get to know each other after their escape, and I find the formation of the 'team' appealing to follow. The villains are pretty over the top, sure, but they're not a waste of time that will just pass. The more this series builds, the better it gets so far. Thumbs up.

      THE GOOD: I really like Ian Churchill's art. I think that it is very clean but has a sketchy feeling to it that makes me like it a lot more. I also really like the amount of details he adds to the book in the backgrounds. There is also a lot of facial expressions that I think all comics need to make the whole story feel convincing. I really like the story here even though it's extremely simple. They are still being tracked down my Harvest. I really like that we are seeing Harvest move on in this...

      If Beast Boy is so important, where is he?! 0

      So, despite the first issue not holding my interest at all, and the fact that I dropped the series quickly, I still managed to get a hold of issue 2, and I might as well talk about it. While this is a superior issue, there are more than a few problems that hold this series back from being anything more than average at best.The first thing you'll immediately notice is how quickly they were to drop the cast down from what looked like dozens of former Ravagers that escaped with the main group down ...
