    Creator-Owned

    Publisher »

    In terms of quantity, it is much more common for characters to be creator-owned (or company-licensed) than owned by their publisher. However, in comics two of the biggest publishers worldwide (DC and Marvel) traditionally own all their characters. This page is meant to help distinguish characters that are owned by the creator from those owned by the publisher in cases where it's not immediately obvious.

    Here we go, finally a review for a Vertigo comic.  Keep in mind, this isn't a comic for the kids.  It's a "mature" comic. 

     

    While I wasn't overly impressed, I am deeply curious to see what will happen next.  A ton of characters are introduced so issue #2 should be able to dive into the story without having to give us more background.  I want to know who read this comic and what you thought of it.

    I thought the comic was horrendous. Sure, Greek tragedy is pretty harsh, but there is a dramatic quality to it. Greek Street was all harshness with no dramatic qulaity. Add to that the sloppy artwork that made it difficult in places to tell which character was which, and this is just not a comic I will be picking up again in the future.

    I agree with Anatolew, by the time i finished it i was mad at myself for letting CV-ers deceive me into thinking this was going to be a good read.

    After reading this book I felt the same way, even though I have a lot of questions I cant say that I am eager to see the next issue. It was a great introduction to the series maybe it should have an issue #0 though, if issue #2 is any good I might be adding it to my pull list.

    Will every issue be 40 pages?

    I wanted to throw up like he did after reading the "confrontation". I'm a big vertigo fan, actually that's an understatement I'm a huge vertigo fan, this intrigues me because I'm also a fan of ancient mythology.  Reading that certain part made me want to stop reading though and I still may stop reading it at some point but I'll give it a chance, it's interesting and it has potential.

    For only a dollar I couldnt resist picking this one up, plus its Vertigo, lot of characters introduced, but I'm sure it will all pan out in the end. Good Story

    This has nothing to do with the comic, but what I like to do sometimes is to determine what rating you give the comic before you announce it, and almost every time i know what the rating is gonna be. Especially this time 3.5. I don't if I have some kind of crazy intuition or what but i think its kind of cool that I can tell what the rating is gonna be most of the time. Sorry to be off topic.

    Exactly how I felt. I thought most of the action in this comic was just shock for the sake of shock, and didn't really bring much to the table. The setups were interesting enough though that I could imagine an actual good story developing eventually, so I'll most assuredly be picking up issue two. Number two will be what makes or breaks it for me.

    @Darkchild:

    I agree. I thought it was great. Although the "interactions" in the beginning made my stomach curdle, I'm interested to see how Milligan will develop this plotline.

    That's how it was for me, between the narration, and the... action, it was too  much to keep up with. I'm trying to build some investment into this character so that when things like that happen, i'll have a reaction to it, but it just all... came so fast that i couldn't even remember the guys name by the time the scene was over.
