Title: Comics Industry Fringe Figures Overreach Themselves
Review: Ever wonder what might have resulted, had Ed Wood written a superhero novel? Probably not, and that's not quite what you get here -- but there are similarities, as cardboard characters move lethargically through contrived circumstances, while the authors natter on ineffectually about philosophical and political issues. Isabella and Ingersoll may have their hearts more-or-less in the right places, but they're out of their depth here. They aren't much good with descriptive prose, and without the more dynamic comic-book medium to help them along, they came across as two guys who have spent WAY too much time sampling their own internal atmospheres.And if they're so proud of their work, why aren't their names on the front cover?Nice pictures by long-time Cap artist Mike Zeck, though.
Is the review positive or negative?
