I’m still working on getting caught up on quite a few series, but in a rush to prep for new comic book day tomorrow here are two quick reviews.
Shutter #2, and #1 for that matter since I read both this week, is a super fun book. The art alone is worth the buy. The world of this books is packed with details. The art and colors are really breathtaking. The story is good, but I’m still really confused about the world overall. I wish there were more explanation. Where are we? Earth. But when? Why are so many different species and aliens around? We just need more set up for the world we’re in, more grounding, and we’re not really getting that either in this or the second issue. The story is still fun, the dialogue is great, and I really enjoyed the book overall.
I’d give this book a 4/5.
Captain Marvel #3, like the rest of this series, is so fun. I am loving the art and DeConnick’s writing is superb. The characters really propel this book forward, which I think is why I like it so much. It’s not all about plot plot plot, but we get those moments with Marvel and her cat or Marvel talking with Star-Lord about the planet. In this issue, I particularly enjoyed the encounter between Marvel and the leader of Tic’s world. The interaction there started to shed light on this complex problem that Carol is facing here, and it did so through character interaction rather than simply letting the plot propel the story. I enjoyed this decision. This book is a must read/buy. Get on it.
I give this book a 5/5, obviously.
Now get excited; tomorrow is new comic book day!
