Stillwater, Volume 1: Rage, Rage by Chip Zdarsky, Ramón K. Pérez
3.0

What happens when you go to a town and can't...well...die?

This town is at a standstill. In stillwater you go, and you can get shot, punched, kicked, head chopped off, and so on and still survive. Little did Daniel know that when he entered this town it wouldn't be the FIRST time he's been there. What seems like a town filled with secrets is...well a town filled with secrets.

Chip is a pretty great writer. Almost all his Marvel work has been top notch. So I was pretty excited to try this one on. And the first two issues worked really well for me. Then the consistant switch from years started to get annoying and I didn't need every single plot point filled to get the idea of what is happening in this town. I did enjoy the dialogue, as it is solid, but the characters didn't really get me interested. I especially didn't like Daniel much.

Saying that, I will probably check out volume 2. The art and story are good enough to keep me intrigued but it was a bit of a letdown. A 3 out of 5.
