Bad Planet


This series started out super-strong, ended... weaker.

The plot degenerated into some wacky crap about the "alien with no name" attacking a tesla coil with an axe, waittaminute' what am I saying? That sounds awesome!

I hadn't read any Steve Niles before, because I am freakin' sick of vampires.

Interior artwork was solid. Covers were stellar, featuring the likes of Mark Schultz and Dave Stevens.

Bottom line, good fun, glad I read it.

Global Frequency


This was a solid series, cool, interesting. Characterization was limited, but plots were tight, lots of mad ideas (as Warren Ellis would say).

The structure guaranteed it would be hit-or-miss, each issue was self-contained and had a different artist... ballsy. Anyway it paid off.

Bottom line the good ones more than made up for the weaker ones.
