It only took three dimension hops for the characters to cross paths with alternative versions of themselves and discover some disturbing revelations about their fate that seem to permeate all universes. Not much more that needs to be said; another solid issue from this great book. There's no excuse why you shouldn't be reading this.
The Field's one of those books that's either going to be spectacular or completely atrocious, with any middle ground being out of the question. It's hard to call that based on just the first issue, but I'm leaning toward the first one. The book has a sort of thriller/mystery/contemporary gothic horror vibe going on that's not really my deal, but I found myself liking it well enough. Hopefully they wont fuck this up, because it could be interesting.
The first Juice Squeezers mini series end with the kids averting the bug-pocalupse, but did you expect anything else? The writers weaved in some unresolved issues that will allow them to either pump out more mini-series or maybe turn this into a monthly, so I guess this wasn't the end of our bug smooshing child soldiers. All and all a decent enough comic; light reading, but still entertaining.
What happens when you mix deadly assassins and scorned love? A yawn. This wasn't terrible or anything, but it just couldn't really pique my interest. Art was decent, writing was decent, it was all just ok. I dunno, I might flip through the 2nd issue and see if things pick up at all.
I'm kind of bummed by the 2nd issue of Starlight. Its seemed to fall a little short when compared to the first issue. Maybe my expectations were too high or maybe it's just a bit of a slump before the comic kicks into high gear. Whatever, it's still a solid sci-fi book worth checking out.
