Cosmic Ray's Profile

Very nice

Dark Knight Returns-10, Elektra Assassin-10, WatchMen-10

Even for comics this is a bit absurd. "For no reason at all..." animals suddenly start talking.

Lost me right outta the gate.

Intriguing story and concept. A bit slower reveal would have upped the presentation. Art continuity and clarity can use improvement.

Fun!

Enjoyed it!

Been here before haven't we? Stranger comes to town. The desperate hunter no one believes. Good art though.

Art is really sub-par.

Viktor Bogdanovic is a find.

Awesome

We already have The MIST novel, movie and failed TV series and the movie Annihilation so... And the comic from Image, Oblivion Song... Art and coloring are very good though.

Started great then went downhill.

Total amateur writing. Art was okay. Pass.

Intriguing. Great art and colors.

Quite good. Still here.

Panel to panel flow was too hard to navigate. You shouldn't have to WORK to receive your entertainment.

I give up on this.

First part art, though beautiful, can be confusing at times. Good story.

Retread of the movies TimeCop and Timeline. Nothing new here. Expected better from Mark Miller.

Did Mark Millar actually write this? Seems not up to his regular caliber.

Cool art. Story is happening a bit fast though. What's the rush? Reminds me of Starship Troopers somewhat. I will be checking out issue 2.

Average

Too much of an info dump. Too many idea jumps, characters.

Phil Noto's artwork on these last few issues looks rushed and amateur. Daredevil looks like an out of shape cosplayer.

Great concept. Art could be better.

Couldn't finish it.

HUGELY disappointing story!

Didn't hate it.

X-files knock-off.

Not much happening except for the last page. Characters lack personality. Art is good but repetitive. Pedestrian dialogue. Both creators have done much better work. I will check out the next issue though.

Still giving it a go.

In it for the long haul?

Disappointing. Expected better story. Too much exposition. Too fast ramp up. Don't care about the main characters. Art was fine but story not.

Better than issue one but VERY similar to the movie A.I.

Still incredibly underwhelming. Oh, and there's a typo on page 17.

Not bad.

Could be good. We'll see. Can't tell yet.

Trying to be funny and not succeeding. Art was nice. Coloring could be better. Overall this was a step down from issue one.

Art awesome. Story not.

I loved the movie so I'm happy to get a bit more insight here.

??????

Light. Comic-booky.

Great start. Millar always delivers a great book.

I feel Mark isn't putting his all into the script. Art is great though.

Art is the only thing keeping this thing together. Mark, why are you dropping the ball on this? Are you over-worked?

This series hasn't been Mark's best work.

Good to see the Snake back.

Too preoccupied with exposition, naming things and establishing the world building instead of making us care about the characters. Art and colors are fine.

Brand destroying.

Frank Cho's writing abilities are not in league with his artistic.

Pretentious twatness.

Much, much easier to digest the story than past Kot work. Good job.

Poor George. Expected better. Too ambitious. Needed to start small and grow.

Intriguing

Nope

Not bad first issue but not GRAND SCALE enough to get me back for another issue. Someone was killed in space, big deal.

Although very intriguing it's terribly LIGHT on actual story! But I'll be here for issue two for sure.

Not a lot of meat on the bone, so to speak.

I read a few pages. Gross.

Enjoyable

Sure didn't suck me in but I might try the next issue.

Points off for being so freakin' incomprehensible

Half efforts

Enjoyable. I'll be back for issue 2.

I dig it!

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Wonderful!

Another FANTASTIC issue! This is what comics ARE.

Quitely can do no wrong.

You two, don't ever break up.

HOLY F! This comic is keeping comics afloat for me. Too damn good. One issue left? No!

Mark Millar gets a one for his lackluster ending with zero twists! Incredibly disappointing. His endings are always disappointing. But Frank Quitely gets a ten for his fabulous art.

Very heavy-handed. Could use a sense of humor somewhere.

Expected better. This isn't the iconic story it should be. Some elements feel right, others don't. Artwork is sensational though.

Quite good but the language of the times is a bit tiring. Too bad it couldn't be a bit more moderned up.

Art great. Story not.

I think seeing the movie raises all boats in the Mad Max universe including this story.

Some aspects of the story ring false. To start, Clark can find gold at the bottom of the ocean. He would never need money. Also, his confidence is too low for a man superior to any other person on Earth. Primitive story effort. Great art.

Thumbs up.

So average.

meh

I read half of the first page and thumbed through the rest.

Art decent enough. Story does not work here.

The plot is solid and the art is top notch. Certainly, one of the nicest looking comics on the stands.

Derivative. Very much like that episode of Star Trek the Next Generation with Ashley Judd guest starring. Involving an addictive video game that takes over your mind when you play it.

Enjoyable

Has a nice alternative feel to the story. Like the gritty art.

For God's Sake! Don't rest on your laurels! Maintain! Maintain!

Great art. Story doesn't seem worth my time.

Enjoyable

Enjoyed the series. Art is awesome.

Nice art, bit crowded. Dialogue stiff, not fun.

Great art. A bit difficult to grasp the story direction though. Better on a second read.

Too bad there's no music or sound effects in comics.

Unintelligible... but nice art.

Fun!

Art interesting. Story couldn't engage.

Cool story. Shitty artwork.

Colorful art. Story was tedious, difficult.

Got this issue free otherwise I wouldn't bother. STILL incredibly hard to follow or even care.

Pretty funny. Nice art.

Art good, story not.

The art is great but the scripting and plot are weak and tiresome. Did not suck me into the story. Too many characters introduced way too soon.

Intriguing.

Interesting

Enough to make me come back

Went by way too fast. Gotta see what happens next.

Sweet.

Super-TRASH!

Unfortunately, you rarely get a second chance to impress.

I like a bit more amazingness in my comics.

Stunning artwork and the beginnings of an intense story. Story could have had a bit more meat on the bone but if this is an indication, the trade paperback should be good.

Meh story. Nice art though.

Yeah, hated it. Panel to panel flow was too confusing and story was more like new wave poetry than a narrative.

FUN. Whimsical.

Yawn

Unintelligible.

Not a fan.

Nope

Enjoyable

Enjoyable

Ending disappoints

Move along.

Dialogue was spot on and sharp.

Confusing

Enjoyed it. Too bad (x) had to (x) too soon. But maybe she's not (x) at all. Hmmm.

We'll have to wait and see... but this beginning doesn't blow the doors off.

Art was cool.

Very nice first issue!

Great art but the story is not the most inviting or innovative.

Intriguing.

Great art and action. Dialogue a bit amateurish but forgivable.

The premise isn't strong enough to sustain any interest.

Hmmm, slow start for a comic.

Dig it

Interesting

Great art. But writing "future slang" never works!

Substandard efforts.

The Thing.

Last page will hook you in.

Great!

Okay Harlan, realize the TV episode did your story a service and is the better story by far.

Would have liked to see Vader struggle a bit more. It's too easy for him given the size of the opposition.

Great read!

Vader is a badass

Puke art and weak story.

Target audience is young for this read.

Great first issue!

Disappointing, uninspired ending.

Wow! Really enjoyed it, great job. Intriguing!

This was a fantastic team effort. Art and story top notch! Elektra Assassin = 10 Dark Knight Returns = 10 WatchMen = 10

That was just FUN!

Great art

Has something truly original and daring in the twist ending.

I'll be back for issue 2. --- Update- Never came back for issue 2.

Fun!

I don't give out 9's and 10's so easily. That said this is another great issue in a great series. But I wish there was more story. Keep up the fantastic work!

Nice.

Hmmm

Flashback to an 80s primitive storyline, with a watered down Frank Miller imitator and beginner art. Also being assaulted in an alleyway and then having the hero arrive to save you is the biggest cliche in comics.

Fascinating first issue.

First issue was great, this was a step down from that.

The problem with having such a great first issue is keeping that level of quality.

Story didn't flow well, art was nice

Very enjoyable!

Interesting

Interesting

Didn't totally hook me in.

Nope

I hope this has offended many. Looking forward to issue two.

Couldn't get through it.

Nope

Matrix-y.

Awesome! I'll definitely read the next issue.

Art awesome. Story intriguing. I wish reviewers would stop handing out 10s everywhere. A 10 means it's perfect, without flaw, and could not get better, with even years of trying. Only five books have ever deserved a 10 - Watchmen, Dark Knight, Elekta Assassin, Daredevil Born Again, Batman Year One.

The art looks detailed but the story...? I stopped mid-way through, didn't know what was going on and didn't care to decipher it.

I dig it. Nice art and colors too.

Cool art. Story weak.

Really captured the feel of the TV show, great start!

No

Good start.

Enjoyable. Nice cliff-hanger ending.

Loved it!

Not the best ending, but great series.

Disappointing

Intriguing.

I expect better from two pros like Charles and Scott. This is way too wordy to be fun and anything political in the current climate is just bad storytelling. Hunting for a disease cure? That's original!

Nothing new here.

Enjoyable

Very intriguing!

Failed to have me invested. Stopped reading at some point. Maybe I'll try it again later. Artwork is the saving grace. Who, what character should I care about and why?

Not bad. Very complex and detailed.

Good read. We need more one-and-done stories like this.

Average everything

Art is a 10 but the story is muddled and confusing, filled with extraneous dialogue that is really unnecessary, brings the comic down.

I give up on this.

Intriguing.
