A review by mschlat
Adventureman, Volume 1: The End and Everything After by Matt Fraction
3.0
It's a Doc Savage pastiche, except that the Doc Savage analogues are far in the past and our current protagonist (Claire McConnell) is in our time and starting to notice something... off. (Could it be connected to those analogues? How could it not be?)
I found it fun, but not something I might want to read more of. Which is somewhat a shame, since the volume ends after the first four issues of the comic, and there's no real conclusion at that point. I do like Fraction's and Dodson's attention to detail --- there's a ton of complexity here (storywide and graphically), so much so that I found a reread of the first issue helpful. But that complexity meant I found it difficult to connect to the main story.
