lsparrow's review against another edition

I gave this graphic novel series 3 stars - sometimes I loved it - finding the characters interesting and the themes of resistance to to system great and sometimes i found it rather trite, overdone and violent for the sake of violence. I did not like the drawing style in the final segment.

A fun and fast read. Really enjoyed the world, most of the art, and action sequences. Not a lot of character development or story. No regrets though.

It's "Small Press Comics that You Probably Didn't Know Existed Day!" SPCtYPDKED for short.
This one is just fun. Is it insightful? No. Does it have protagonists who grow as people? Not really. Will it challenge you and make you reconsider your life choices? Not a chance. But it does have a ton of action and bullets and dead people and it reads quickly. It's a really good time.

2.5 stars out of 5. Earliest of Brian Wood's writing. Some of it's good, some of it not so much. At times it's a fun ride, but it was a bit of a slog to get through. The art in the last issue was pretty abysmal - at times I couldn't figure out what was going on or even what the panel was a drawing of. I thought it'd be interesting to see Brian Wood's early work to see how far he's come and if there were any ideas/techniques he was using that were developed more, later in his career. Unfortunately, I didn't get any glimpses and can't recommend this one. Skip it, to many other great books out there.

I started this knowing nothing about the plot, the genre, the characters (except from the obvious asumptions because of the title). Nothing
Taking that into account, it was a nice surprise. Issues #1 and #3 were definitely the best, specially #3, but #2 was awfully boring, and even though #4 had a better storyline, the art was quite rustic and not pleasant to watch at all.

So very good. New York, bike messengers, lawlessness. This compendium was a rip-roaring ride through the world of "the couriers," and I only wish there was more of it.
