"Strive for perfection in everything. Take the best that exists and make it better. If it doesn't exist, create it. Accept nothing nearly right or good enough." --Henry RoyceStrike Zones is a great opening trade to the
Human Target series which was cancelled far too soon. Christopher Chance is undercover, but how far is too far? As the boundaries between truth and lie blur, our hero becomes ever more uncertain about himself and how much that even matters. You'll never think of
identity the same way again. Painted against the backdrop of 9-11, bravo to the creators for a tale with meaning and no fluff. Happy endings are for the politically correct.
Also read
All Star Batman and Robin #1 and
All Star Superman #1--both are extremely strong comics. It's fun to read books that that are serious enough for me and fun enough that my kids can enjoy them. Both have a mature bent, but not too mature.
Picked up a recent issue of
Marvel Previews which I didn't realize was a monthly book. Thing is there isn't much to it. The comic preview promised on the front cover was a mere two pages and the rest of the book didn't really many details on upcoming comics. Let's put it this way,
Previews is no comic shop news. If I were
Marvel I'd throw in some real material like articles, columns, real previews, and anthology type comics. People should feel like it's a must have book, not a twenty four page add. What better way to sell your books?
