The R Word,
This review is from: Livewires Vol. 1: Clockwork Thugs, Yo (Paperback)
I really like Livewires. I like it so much that I have all six issues of it. I really wanted to give this edition 5 stars but Marvel's horrendous choice of going with the digest format has ruined this wonderful book. The pages are shrunk to about ¾ the original size and the print quality of the details really suffers, especially the light line-work of the dialogue boxes. Despite this, I heartily recommend this to any anime or espionage fans.

Interesting ideas but unengaging characters,

This review is from: Livewires Vol. 1: Clockwork Thugs, Yo (Paperback)
In this book Adam Warren goes wild with science fiction concepts and crazy comic book science. A group of robots - the products of a black-ops top secret experiment - travel the country seeking out and destroying other black-ops top secret experiments.
The problem is the characters never really come to life. Except for their new member 'Stem Cell' the others all speak in the same sort of lame hipster, rapper-wanna-be voice and have the same too cool for school attitude. And once Stem Cell grows into her role... she starts speaking the same way. It's not a bad book but it hardly left me wanting more.

This review is from: Livewires Vol. 1: Clockwork Thugs, Yo (Paperback)
A comic shop near my school was having a big sale. Manga, comic and graphic novels were 70% off. So when I saw this I thought I would give it a try. I'm very glad that I did. When I was done reading it was like "Wow. That was awesome." I love the set up and characters. The only complaint I have is the fact the series is so short. The should of at least made it 2 books/12 comics long, if not more. That way the readers can get to know the characters better and care for them more. If there's ever a 2nd series, I will be picking it up. This comic is worth a chance.
