As good as they say
I first heard of this comic the other day when I got my Wednesday comics and picked up a copy of the Comic Shop News. The main article was on this book and it described the comic well, a story of an immortal man that tries to help humanity survive one day at a time. Naturally, after reading the article, I came to the Vine to see what everyone else was saying.
It still seemed interesting and something I was looking for - a book that needs no explanations. Just pick it up and read. So of course I went to my local shop and picked it up today.
It was better than described. Extremely well written and fabulous art. You automatically can relate with this character, the Steward, and his struggle and motivation to help the human race. It captures humanity perfectly.....it's not perfect. The Steward has much wisdom and you get that idea instantly. But at the same time, he seems human.
I can't wait for the next issue and to be honest, for the moment I don't care how he came to be or if some greater being put him there for a purpose. I just want more of this. If you haven't picked it up yet, go do it. The first issue is 99 cents. That's one less cheeseburger for a great read.
