A review by anthroxagorus
Barrier #1 by Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martín, Muntsa Vicente
4.0
Midtown comics had extra copies from FCBD so WOO HOO!
Instead of reading left to right, Barrier is formatted up-down the entire way through. While not the most conventional or effective way to format comic panels, there's some really cool things that are achieved with it. No spoilers but the ending makes me really want to track down a #2. If you're thinking "Oh boy, a political agenda..." be prepared for, well, OKAY THAT, but also... that something else *wink wink*
