[Image Comics] FIRST ISSUES: The Bad (Full review on the WondrousBooks blog.)
Who even comes up with these stuff? This comic book is anything but heartfelt, for starters. The character from the cover is a total bitch, mean and extremely annoying. And nobody would tell me I’m cute if I lost my sister in the woods where dead bodies lie.
As for the rest of it, it’s mostly kids playing at being detectives. We see a little of it in the first issue, but it’s clear that that is where the story is going.
The characters overall are the usual American cliches – a head bitch, a nerd, a bad boy and a loser girl. And they all have, for some reason, weird, pointy feet.
Some of these are, of course, things that can be overlooked, especially since it’s a first issue, but at the same time I don’t know if I want to use my time continuing the series just for the possibility of proving myself wrong. And I’m going to point out right here that I liked the graphics a lot!
So, if you want to share an opinion, I’m open to ideas.
