4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Piece of Reality!!,

This review is from: Deadline (Paperback)
Marvel Comics have been producing perhaps the best written and graphically illustrated publications in years. Their Marvel Knights imprint began this recent trend and ot has been going on through the Marvel MAX line of mature comics.Deadline falls into the part where it is both a good story and a nice mystery. I have to admit, that I was very hesitant to start reading a book not about your conventional superheroes, but that of a normal reporter and nagging mystery. Rosemann is new in terms of writing. He's been through your mill of editting, but his first outing as a writer just stuns. I believe he's a good writer for reality based fiction rather than about people who stick to walls or those that fly. He introduces the characters and then builds up the mystery before making things reach the boiling point in the climax and to finally resolve matters coherently, short, but in an understandable stance. His work will be best if he continues in that fashion. There are some rough edges, as expected, but nothing that would take away the fervor of the storyline. I would like seeing him write Spider-Man's Tangled Web for a couple of issues. He can create wonders in that cesspool. The art, on the other hand, is more than just a bit rough. I was not grossly appealed to Guy Davis's art, but he seemes to handle himself well. His faces are a bit distorted, kind of like when how a person would see the world without his glasses. Davis needs to develop more body anatomy for his characters and much more detail. One caption in which we see Spidey falling off a building is just plain old crude. Greg Horn's covers are anything entirely. This guy's painted art just blows you away. He is simply the exact opposite of Davis in terms of crispness and general appeal. Horn has the 3-D touch in his art. Something very admirable. The story is great, plain and simple. That could be just the greatest thing about Deadline. I guess my only beef would have to be with the inner art, but that's why you see 4 stars instead of 5. Now can we have Greg Horn do more than just covers?
