Not Drawn By Warren,
By
This review is from: Gen 13: Meanwhile (Paperback)
Although Amazon lists this album as created by Adam Warren, only the text is by Warren, while the pictures are drawn by a host of rather mediocre artists. Most of the time, I found myself thinking how hilarious this could have been if drawn by Warren himself, but now most gags fall to the ground with a thud.
With many different artists, the graphical style is changing too much, and none of them manage to produce anything above the mediocre. The stories are as good as you would expect them from Warren's hand, but the whole album just demonstrates how important it is to have a talented artist rendering the author's vision. This book is a lot of wated potential.

Meanwhile,
By
This review is from: Gen 13: Meanwhile (Paperback)
This TPB is issues 66-70, and has issues 43 & 44 added. The first part, isses 66-70 art work is done well, the story line is well written, well the last part of the book, isses 43 & 44 was well writen and entertaining, the art work had much to be desired.
The first part, Caitlin has to help Ivana to idetify a new Gen Active. Interesting play into the story from the radio, kind of cute. The second story can be a bit confusing, it was about Roxy and Grunge, and had lots of flashbacks. The thrid story is about, Sara and and has to do with her past and her Uncle, a nice story. The fourth is about a pop song that grows to dominate all media outlets, and is driving Caitlin crazy. I gave it 3 stars as the stories were good, i think they were just average.

Small stories that don't add up to much,
By
This review is from: Gen 13: Meanwhile (Paperback)
Since his Dirty Pair stories in the 80s, Adam Warren has remained one of the freshest and most original voices in American comics. Some of his work on Gen 13 was the best the series ever had, it really explored the flaws and psyches of the team. But this book really is not his best work.
It's a collection of small stories, most with some good character moments but generally nothing special. The first story Meanwhile is a group of 2-4 page updates on the team and their supporting cast, it drops hints for upcoming stories. Then Fairchild encounters a paradox that can only be called Schrodinger's Wankerboy. A two part story showcases Grunge and Roxie's dysfunctional relationship but changes nothing. Rainmaker get's an issue to herself but again, it's nice but not deep. Finally Fairchild takes on the most terrible threat yet, an irritating but omnipresent pop song! The art is by a host of pencilers (no Adam Warren though) all of whom do a fine if not exceptional job. There are clever ideas, good teasers for laser stories (which were not reprinted) and some good characterizations but even for Gen 13 fans nothing too special. Now if they would just reprint Warren's Magical Girl Roxie series... that was good.
