Destroyer #1

Post by Mr Wallstreet »

Review pending, but just a lil general background: Destroyer is written by Robert Kirkman and is a MAX title so hopefully it'll be a bloody good time. The only thing that really pissed me off was that the first issue was a preview issue and was listd as $3.99. Less pages for more money :mad:

But for some reason my LCS had some kind of sale where he was offering it for 70% off so I grabbed it then and there.

Seriously? How was it a preview issue?

After reading I'm not really sure. My LCS kept saying it was a preview issue - which is why he marked it down 70% but it read like a normal issue; regardless at this point I don't much care.

It was an okay issue though

It felt like a regular issue to me, not preview. Also didn't grab my interest. I read the first 3 pages than skimmed through the rest of the issue.

There was nothing wrong with it. It was competent stuff, but it didn't really grab my interest greatly.

I am interested to see where it's going to go though. The basic premise is that the lead character is a rather old superhero and hs been diagnosed with a terminable disease, so he makes a decision to put a few things right before his time is up. One of these things is ticked off of his list by the end of the issue.

I really enjoyed it actually.
Standard Kirkman fair, which I highly like.

Have not gotten Destroyer yet.

Have not gotten about a months worth of comics yet, either. Superbusy.

I should just go mail order.
