james_desantis 's review for:
Danger Club, Vol. 1: Death
by Landry Q. Walker, Eric Jones
I have nothing against Landry. I don't think he's a awful writer, cause this is the only thing I've read, so I won't judge him on one work.
Saying that, this is one of the worst graphic novels I've ever read.
The art is...okay? It's not bad, but it reminds me of Kickass yet...not as good? Like that's weird. Also the storyline jumps all over the place, and not in a coherent way. I sometimes had to jump back and re-read moments to understand, and when I did, it didn't make it better. In fact it was somehow worse. ON top of that the dialog is filled with cliches. I guess that matches the characters who are mostly mixes of other more famous characters.
Don't get me wrong. As someone who is writing a Superhero comic now, it's nearly impossible to be completely original anymore. You have to take things from other sources. That's fine. But these characters don't stand out. You know why? Because multiple heroes are introduced in just 3-4 pages and not flushed out at all, so you don't care when people die or get beat.
People do get beat and a lot die. Sounds good huh? It's like Millar, without the storyline, and that's saying something cause something Millar makes garbage storylines (Nemesis anyone?)
This is really just a bunch of killing, death, badly paced, and shitty dialog. I can't recommend this at all, to anyone, because it's that bad. Sorry Landry but this is pretty terrible. I wish ya all the luck with future stories though!
