@ Newsarama: The Massive #1

Image

My review of Brian Wood and Kristian Donaldson's The Massive #1 is now up at Newsarama.

Donaldson's is not as stylized as it was in his first collaboration with Wood, Supermarket, but his solid storytelling makes this a world that is very easy to believe. With Dave Stewart providing the colors, Donaldson creates a realistic world that feels like it should be better than it actually is. It's a fascinating dichotomy that Donaldson's line is the cleanest that we've seen in any of Wood's books like DMZNorthlanders or Conan. It's similar to Rebekah Isaac's on Wood's DV8 miniseries, very clean and sure of the world it's building. Stewart creates the moods with his vivid coloring, setting a fog over the present day, hiding the world from our view.
