Just a guy name Dennis
The Storyline:
Week One, and Dennis is hit hard as a man who suffers from that hardship of living his own life. What seemed to be for the worse when he discovers that a heroic incident caused his soon to be violent death to accelerate within a month or two, Dennis sets out on a final goal to be the man that he was never seen as, as a father, as a hero, and as a good man who respected and cared for others. But Dennis's actions on accomplishing this would also gain the attention of some heroes and one of its most dangerous villains.
The Good:
Now, I prefer to write this review in the sense of a complete positive veiw, meaning that I'm gonna describe the good instead of any flaws or hiccups that I overlooked within this issue.
- With an army of writers and artists, Editor Stephen Wacker wanted to show the Marvel Universe through the eyes of its own citizens, mostly the one that suffers from the most difficult hardship within his own life. Rick Remender displayed Dennis as a man who really became an unwanting victim towards the wrong side of life, living through the harsh reality of being a failure when he tries to be something more. An incident that would change Dennis and would have him only to live for 1 or 2 months, Remender made his storytelling convincing and heartfelt that Dennis was relieved from the world and decides to make the best out of the last moments within his life. Yes, this comic doesn't have any action or mindless supervillainy fights, but that isn't what comics is mostly all about and this issue alone can describe that for itself. Remenders storytelling is very well placed within this issue as he adds naturalism and realism within the Marvel Universe itself.
- Andrea Mutti's storytelling also did an outstanding job with the artwork he displayed. Much like Remender himself, Mutti was also convincing and many of the scenes in this issue really helped itself on coming close as a tear jerker, probably the best part and my TOP TEN BEST MOMENTS within Marvel Comics is when Dennis discovers that he was dying within a month, that had me in tears.
- I personally can relate to this issue in so many ways and how this storyline is exciting as it starts to build itself up into something major for Dennis later on within the end of this month. Throughout the month of September, we will get to see Dennis's quest and his goal to do something right with his new found powers and remaining moments of his life.
The Conclusion:
A tear jerker of an EPIC storyline for a first issue, Dennis's first week of his dying month would earn itself a full five star rating for complete perfection of convincing how normal the Marvel Universe can be compared to our own. For Smartass's who would try to justify this statement and confuse themselves on knowing what realism this story is trying to present itself is understandable. But as a full grown man myself who till this day goes through many bumps that has me feeling that life has turned against me, I couldn't give this comic any less of the highest rating.
1 Month 2 Live is an issue that I highly recommend for you not to miss out on, giving this cheap issue a try would have you become very interested in the last living moments of Dennis's life. This comic may not have Thor smiting foes, or Spiderman kicking some villainy butt, but take your mind away from that and give Marvels newest somewhat normal character known as Dennis a try and see if you enjoy the starting quest of his adventurous life that awaits him.
So when you go to your local comic book store and you see 1 Month 2 Live issue #1, I would highly suggest picking this comic up and giving it a try.
Im That Badguy saying thankyou for reading and I do hope you enjoyed or enjoy this comic as much as I did, here is a small preview of Dennis and this issue, dont worry, I left out the main spoilers.
