Why I Bought It
I got the Hoax hunters #0 issue or whatever it was through Comixology and it was enjoyable. Thought I would give the main series a go.
What I Liked
Um...
What I Didn't Like
Holy shit, is this even the same comic that I read before? I could have sworn the art was different...
Did a quick read through of the issue #0 again and yes, this is a completely different artist. And you know what, combine that with how the story was very, very lack luster and you have the reasons why this comic dropped in quality.
This isn't a true issue #1. This felt like one of the DC New 52 books where you know that there is some back story and some of these characters are interesting, but your at a loss to explain or at least try to figure out what is going on from anything else in the book. This is like the second episode for a TV series that had a successful pilot and then they completely forgot what the show was all about.
Or maybe this is the direction that the book wants to go in. If so, then go and have some fun. I won't be along for the ride. Maybe this is an issue that is on par with what they described to the cameras at the beginning of the comic - that this isn't their usual thing, but it was interesting to check out.
Panel to Remember
There wasn't any one panel that really stood out. Seriously, if I had to go for one then it would be the pin-up of the astronaut at the end of the book. That's about the only memorable picture out of the whole thing.
Quotable
"Sup" - The astronaut's one line, and its from the one page pin-up that I described.
Grades
Words: 4/10
Pictures: 3/10
Buy Next Issue: Um, no. Wow, I can't believe it went in that direction. Seemed so odd to do that.
