Neilalien-Approved Reviews
Epic Anthology #1
So, Neilalien’s been pimpin’ this baby, what’d he think? He liked it! Sleepwalker was the weakest of the three- it just couldn’t overcome being all build-up about a character Neilalien cares nothing about, and the art’s not Neilalien’s style. Young Ancient One was fantastic. Fun kung fu action. Did the Freeze spell freeze the flying bugs too? In many ways, the Ancient One was Dr. Strange’s Aunt May- so maybe this is a good Trouble for Doc fans? Strange Magic was a great surprise- and Dr. Strange fans will really enjoy it. They should enjoy this whole book. These are three decent stories that need to be told to completion!
EPIC ANTHOLOGY #1 (Marvel)
These creators worked their arses off to produce good stories, and they got screwed. Buy this comic, and remember their names – because, unlike Bill Jemas, they’ll be back. [Shannon]
4-Color Review (newly blog-a-fied):
EPIC ANTHOLOGY FEATURING: #1: Kirkman?s re-imagined Sleepwalker is a lot more fun than you might imagine, and Khary Randolph?s art is a pleasant suprise as well. First-time comic scribe Rob Worley teams with Andy Kuhn for a pretty fun little Iron Monkey take on Doc Strange?s teacher in Young Ancient One. The dialogue throws you for a page or two, until you settle in and go with the flow. Odd-title out is Strange Magic which never seems to find itself, despite an interesting enough concept. Jason Henderson?s writing seems solid enough, but Greg Scott?s art just doesn?t suit itself to sequential storytelling.
