Comics Bulletin - Robert Murray
Oct 25, 2007Why didnt BOOM! decide to make Potters Field into a graphic novel versus a short, infuriating series of three periodicals? My theory is that BOOM! and Mark Waid are pandering to the multitude of TV-addled comic book readers out there who would prefer a wam-bam quick series versus an smoothly-paced extended tale that might eat up as much as $25 or $30. As despicable as this sounds, I dont know if its true. Remember, its a theory! Im sure the same decision-making goes into many of the series I enjoy. I really think my earlier tirade is due to my disappointment in another BOOM! issue, especially after enjoying a lot of their earlier works such as Talent and Second Wave. But, there is no room for character development and plot examination within the speedy confines of Potters Field. As a comic book reader looking for quality in his purchases, this is really frustrating to me. Read Full Review
