Title: Off to a thrilling start
Review: This book meets three of Heavy Metal's four traditional benchmarks: gorgeous art, exciting SF/fantasy adventure, and erratic plotting. If women had appeared scantily clad in more than two panels, it would have been an HM archetype.This appears to be the start of a long-lived adventure series. As such, it lays out the fantasy's ground rules and setting (a world of after-the-collapse technology), and introduces the Quest: a trek to the semi-mythical Maser. And, as an introductory chapter should, it leaves much to be revealed in the installments to come. That dangling vagueness can frustrate a reader who lacks access to later chapters, but it also piques interest in following along.It hooked me, at least. I won't spend rent money to collect the rest of this series, but I'll keep an eye out for it.-- wiredweird
