I’ve just reviewed Radical’s new series, Shrapnel, as well as BOOM!’s new, but delayed, series Hexed over at Extra Sequential. I’ve gotta say it was a wildly different reading experience for both of these debut issues. Shrapnel #1 was disappointing with it’s needlessly complicated sci-fi premise, and muddy artwork. I feel it is going somewhere worthwhile though. Hexed #1 was a lot more fun. Beautifully sunny art with an enchanting tale that follows a young female magician/thief nick-named Lucifer, it’s perfect for new readers, or those looking for a Buffy fix.
On a related note, you might notice I’ve added a new page to this here blog. I came across this nifty, and free, software that allows easy file conversions into viewable on-line mags. Check out the Free Comics Mag! page and you can check out the debut ish of Extra Sequential with all its comic-y goodness right now. Woo hoo!
