james_desantis 's review for:
Public Domain, Volume 1
by Chip Zdarsky
A look into the mostly fucked up world of writers and artist who work on comics for a living and then get screwed over by the big wigs.
In the words of Donald Glover "This is America"
But really I'm sure it happens world wide. When Brubaker, one of the most talented writers I've ever gotten the chance to read, creates a character such as Winter Soldier, and then those movies and TV shows featuring said character do millions upon millions and billions, and he can't even get into the premier because security doesn't know who he is...it's fucking sad.
So this is the story of a guy who wrote a character called Domain and over the years the character became a smashing hit in the box-office with movies and such, and he's given a few grand anytime a movie comes out despite it doing hundreds of millions and then one day thanks to a fan, he finds out he might own the rights to the character. So with the help of his family, which is one dysfunctional ass family, they begin to start a new company.
It's a great mix of humor, real life events, mixed with some wonderful family drama. I mixed Zdarsky art a lot from Sex Criminals and he doesn't miss a beat. On top of that his writing is as sharp as ever and highly entertaining. This first volume is honestly a must read for fans of comics in general. A 4.5 out of 5.
