    Review: Xombi #1 4

    Xombi #1 - The Ninth Stronghold, Part One: Industry by inferiorego on March 16, 2011

    Xombi is back with a new on-going series! David Kim, who once injected himself with a nanotechnological virus which can regenerate human tissue, and build new substances out other material.  The Good This feels like a Vertigo book, so why isn't it a Vertigo book? It may be because this book takes place in the actual DC Universe and not its own. So this book is a cool mixture of mysticism and science. The character Xombi may have been around for close to 20 years, but he rea...

    Wow did I love this issue. And I have to REALLY like something to write a review…that or be bored, but I'm not bored.  Anyway, here we go:  The Good!This read like an issue of Grant Morrison's run on Doom Patrol. Masterfully crafted story, unlike many of the fairly slow first issues. And Nun-puns! You can't go wrong with puns about nuns! This introduced all the necessary elements for the series, absolutely amazing.  The Bad. I didn't love the art, but it definetely suits the series. I think my m...

    I was truly excited about this comic once I got wind of it. I am a fan of the Artist Frasier Irving from Batman and Robin and The Return of Bruce Wayne, but that was the only thing that would be familiar about this comic for me. I dove into it head first and I didn't come up for air. If you are a fan of this artist you will not be disappointed. The color scheme is great throughout and the thick dark lines with very subtle shading is very appealing to the eyes.  The story does not waste any time ...

    I picked this up for the art.  I like Frazer Irving enough to have used his art style as the basis for a theater makeup design class project in college.  So yeah... never read the original series but I figured it'd be worth the cover price for the pretty pictures alone.And it is.  But there's much more here.  While this book absolutely has back-story that's some 15 years old and isn't readily available in print, it manages to relaunch in a surprisingly new-reader-friendly fashion (and, miraculou...
