Xombi #4


Now THIS is what I expected after that brilliant issue #1. John Rozum’s last two issues have been entertaining, but I’m not sure I totally understood what was happening. No one’s motivations were clear, and while the big ideas were present, the reasoning was lacking. That gets cleared up now. This may end up being another of those series that ends up reading better in the trade than in floppy.

The explanation behind the Ninth Stronghold explains who the bad guys are and why Xombi has to stop them. Pretty important factors in a comic!

Frazer Irving’s art continues to be a joy. I love seeing the weird world he’s laying out for us, although Xombi’s haircut is a bit on the goth-y side.

Good

please boycott the Wonder Woman forum on Comic Book Resources...the moderator, Aegisbearer, has been accused of two counts of public indecency and lewd behaviour with two minors.
This is a disgusting individual and until he is fired we must show our disgust and boycott the forum.
