This review is from: Skrull Kill Krew (Paperback)
This book is a true 90s book. A color pallet that looks like Easter on steroids, horrible breakdowns that have no flow, hyper imagesque poses and flat dialog. That said, if your reading this because you're a fan of Morrison or Millar, then you're in for a treat!
I love both of them and you can see their parts of this stream of consciousness script battling for supremacy. Grant Morrison's constant use of virus and infection as metaphor for enlightenment and Millar's love of blockbuster Michael-Bay-style-action are actually a good pairing here. Since they both have that cynical opinion of America they can riff pretty well back and forth. Whether it's making fun of America's hamburger consumption or Captain America, they hit the mark pretty humorously. I think were this book made today, it would have been quite an interesting piece of satire, but Yoewell's art is flat and the writers' seemed rather rushed.

This review is from: Skrull Kill Krew (Paperback)
Back in the mid-90's, Marvel released this mini-series that was actually a pretty edgy book for having the Comics Code Approval stamped on the covers. The great Grant Morrison (New X-Men, JLA, Doom Patrol, Invisibles; you know the list) teamed up with a pre-fame Mark Millar (The Ultimates, Civil War) to tell this frenzied and surprisingly violent tale. Skrull Kill Krew revolves around a gang of inadvertantly super powered youths who go on a killing spree. Their targets: undercover alien Skrull agents in human disguise. Though it is far from the best material you'll ever come across from either writer, Skrull Kill Krew features enough popping ideas to make any fan of either writer happy. The dialogue may reek of the 90's, and the characterizations (particularly of Krew leader Ryder) may be a bit on the stale side, but there's enough good here to outweigh the bad. Steve Yeowell's pencil work isn't anything spectacular, but it's suitable enough. With appearances from Captain America, Nick Fury, and a Skrull-impersonating Fantastic Four, Skrull Kill Krew is an overlooked and nice and neat little treat.

sorry, guys, but you just didn't hit it with this one. and the art ain't all that great, either. plus, the reprint itself is on cheap stock. so, in all, a poor package...
