I will tellya that the date abouve is NOT right at all. Nor is my sanity now. I was really trying to read through this comic - but if this is what the line means - this stumbling around through stories - I may end up despising comics at the end of the run. I sometimes read through and scoff at some of the letters. I wonder how much they were hand-picked forward to really create an appreciation for these comics - because I am not really seeing it on my reads. These are tough hard reads.
This was not the worst of what I have read recently - but when I am choosing between textbooks and reading another one of these - that really says something about them. The story starts okay - revealing the kid stuck in the seventies and starting to pursue his long-lost brother somewhere in Vietnam. Is it far-fetched? Most definitely. I found myself asking if a kidcould really make it across the ocean without a passport in that many days - and how long a person could really remain stowed within a box across the ocean. Do I understand that it is fiction? Most assuredly. But when I ask myself those questions - and am cognizant that the story cannot keep my attention - that is a fail on the part of the book.
It probably did not need to be 48 pages. Probably just to jump in the giant-sized reign or "Look what we can do!" set. As a Defiant book, it is probably better than most. But as a comic - it's not really worth your time.
Next issue is a crossover of this and War Dancer?
Great.
