I bought this thinking it was another recent horror comic collection, but kept it because it looked interesting.

I was surprised at how much I liked this. It has a nice amount of good hearted silliness, not, like "I'M BEING WACKY" wackiness (though that's a thin line). The start is slow, and the tension between the brothers is a little draawwwwnnn ouuuuttt, but I'd totally read the next one.
Some are just funny, some are political or social vehicles, and some are thought provoking or sad. But all are rather unique takes on characters, some of which are one page long, some a few pages longer. Some are word heavy while others use art more than the written word to convey their message....
I understand this is a reboot of a series from the late 90s and early 2000s and if it was written half as entertainingly as this one is, I may have to look up some of the old volumes, because I really enjoyed this book. The titular Quantum and Woody are brothers who haven't gotten along since they...
There's the 'I have a dreamland, but, y'know, not in a gay way,' to the slut shaming, to the mocking of the 'fat chick.' Yes, the storytelling is damaging, and yes, the art is good, and I suppose it tries to be empowering - but it's not. Yes, the women are smart and stand up for themselves - but...
There's a goat. That apparently hulks out. Two brothers who lose their single father, only to find out that he'd been murdered. When they try to figure out why, and how, they end up exploding his lab. Not exactly awesome when you're father worked in a top secret lab, and that explosion giv...
So, remember what I said about this not being that bad? Well, it is. The fact that a man has twins, and the girl creates Shadowman? Yeah, not what Loa are about. And the last issue didn't work for me. I don't want many short stories. This is such a complex world that it deserves longer s...
But I still am crazy about the story and characterizations. This would be a flat-out five star read if it didn't try to fetishize the loa. Using them at all, using any religion or minority that has been fetishized, is very tricky; it's too easy to fall into the same trap. By making a Loa a su...
Children. Lots and lots of children in cages. Children who are psiots, who all want to kill him. Which is when things get really, really weird. Perfect ending. I can't wait to see how Bloodshot does as a daddy-figure in the next volume, seeing, as he points out to Pulse that he's a li...
