5.0 out of 5 stars Another well-done piece by Adam Warren!, July 29, 1999

By 

Alex "D. Woof" (The South) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone (Paperback)

Excellent one-issue Elseworlds story by Warren, which details the adventures of a new group of "Titans" in the far-future. Plenty of action, light-hearted angst, and psuedo-religious/scientific babble to get the story going. Plus a number of engaging and interesting characters making up the team.

Especially interesting was the "appearance" of a current DC superhero and how Warren managed to incorporate him into the new Titans! From beginning to slam-bang finish, this story is well worth your time and money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very intelligent graphic novel, January 21, 2000

This review is from: Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone (Paperback)

Not only is the art the usual high quality for Adam Warren, but the story is also one of his best.

This is Warren when he's most intelligent. A great read for the casual reader, this story also offers a highly intelligent, satiric meta-story about the stupidity of super-hero comics (sic!). Well worth the read if you like your comics more intelligent than just mindless action.

The only complaint I can really have about this are the garish colors, but that is a matter of taste.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mad ideas, humor, satire and action in one awesome package, June 9, 2009

This review is from: Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone (Paperback)

Set in the far future, Titans: Scissors, Paper, Stone tells the story of a group of students coming together to fight an alien threat.

But since this is an Adam Warren book that's only the tip of what's going on. Like his work with the Dirty Pair and Empowered, this book is filled with mad ideas. Look for a guy wearing a leather jacket cloned from his girlfriend's skin cells (ROMANTIC!), an AI based on a 20th century fictional character, bizarre magical rituals and fun future slang.

Also look for any and all superhero cliches to be mocked and skewered.

This is a fun read for any comic fan and belongs on your shelf.
