I really like the concept of Savage Sword, but the delivery left something to be desired. While I liked the female Engineer in the lead story, the rest was a bit silly. More importantly though, if its going to be black and white (which is great!) it needs to be actual black and white art.. not colored art changed to grayscale on a computer... it was definitely off. I agree the Solomon Kane story was excellent... I'm looking forward to more of that. I read it digitally via hoopla the night before it hit the shop, and the art looked just fine. Flipping through the actual issue it looks like the issue isn't being switched to grayscale but the muddy crap newsprint turns comic art into. I've never understood the love for comics on newsprint, it's crap paper that makes the art look worse at best and muddies things to be unreadable at its worst. -M |

I was able to get Brave and the Bold... very pleased with the Maps story! DC just doesn't know what they are missing not giving her more regular time. I actually enjoyed most of the issue, which was nice  Future Maps in Birds of Prey got weird... I'm hoping for some additional explanation in the next couple issues. |

Yeah, I'd love more of Karl Kerschl's stories, especially if they feature Maps! My dream team right now for Batman and Detective would be Karl Kerschl on Batman and Dan Watters on Detective, they both nail the characterizations of the various Bat-Family members and know how to tell stories with actual plot structure. That last bit seems like a low bar to clear but Ram V and Zdarsky have proven otherwise of late. |
