Peter Cannon: Thunderbolt Hc
by Kieron Gillen
Post modernism in a super hero comic! Both the story of a super genius unraveling a plot by another super genius in another dimension, as a rumination on the consumer of this kind of art, breaking the fourth wall, in an effort to do something different/new/fresh.
This would have been a 5 star read, but the other elements of craft felt really, really basic. It is often defaulted to six panels, the artwork is passable, but not much more. The use of space, especially in an oversized issue presentation like this, really makes it feel lacklustre and hodgepodge, really. So much space is under utilized and the style looks like it is very quick. Little to no detail. In fact, the variant covers for the issues are miles better than what anyone would expect in the actual pages. It’s a shame; since the actual story is very fun and succeeds at being different.
