PopMatters takes a look at ‘Advent’

Posted by Rob M. Worley on Dec 18, 2005 in advent Rising | 0 comments

There’s a review of ‘Advent’ that I previously overlooked at PopMatters. The reviewer is sort of luke warm on the book, disliking the sci fi elements (“Not very original”) and the decompressed storytelling, but enjoying the character driven elements (“characters are written with spirit and drawn with a rough realism”).

It’s a good review, with some interesting insights for this writer.

A few weeks back I grabbed a table at Detroit’s first SNAP! small-press comics show.

Also in attendance was Michael O.D., host of the “Most People are DJs” Podcast. Michael interviewed several of the guests and was nice enough to devote some airtime to me in the November 10 show.

Give it a listen…

‘Advent’ gets positive vibes from Fourth Rail

“This comic is Starship Troopers meets Rudy. There are two plotlines — Ethan’s conflicts with his stubborn cadets, and Gideon’s awkward efforts to fit in among the hometown kids — and while they’re not complex, the two divergent stories make for a varied read. The balance between the two main characters’ stories is maintained nicely, and the shifts back and forth keep the reader from becoming bored.“
