frasersimons 's review for:

Public Domain, Volume 1 by Chip Zdarsky
2.0

I made it through about half of this. Basically, this is about the son of a Stan Lee-esk comic creator who isn’t getting paid because of an archaic, exploitive contract he made back in the day. Then, after the largest movie premiere ever (supposedly), the assistant to the man who owns the rights to the property finds documentation that the rights may belong to the creator after-all. All the while the main son guy is pissed off and broke and making terrible decisions.

And I just did not care.

It’s a very plodding, low stakes, and features pretty boring art. Probably a novel about something like this, I would be interested in. But this just failed to keep my attention, unfortunately.
