A Whole New World
This comic came out in 1983 and I read it for the first time last month. Before I wrote this interview I wondered at what I would have thought if I read this back in 1983. I was only ten years old then and reading wasn't my bag. I didn't buy comics till I was twenty but I still wondered at what I would have thought reading it when it came out. I think it would have been out of my league. As it has a slightly older content to it and it reads like a science fiction tale not a superhero comic.
What I really wanted to know is if I was giving the book the full chance it deserves. Was it ahead of it's time. Would it have been a better reading experience thirty years ago. I just couldn't get into it. I remember thinking "this is a long comic" while I was reading it. Now it wasn't awful it just didn't pull me into the world. I was a jumble of stuff all ay once. I get that is was a part of the world but it was still distracting, and made the story drag in my opinion. (Check out the first page to the right.) There was a lot of this all through the comic and it got worse as it went.
It was not a bad book. I didn't hate it or anything. It was just not terribly exciting. I gave the book three starts but if I could I would have given it five out of ten. Thanks for reading it.
