2.0 out of 5 stars Looks like the rough sketch for a completed comic, January 18, 2010

This review is from: Tumor Chapter 1 (Kindle Edition)
I'm sorry but this was just poor. Couldn't get through the dialog, especially during the hospital-car scenes, due to the very loose drawing. Those type of renderings work for storyboards done on demand but not in graphic storytelling.
And, as said before, the gratuitous language is distracting. I still have strong hope for the kindle as a medium for comics, though.

3.0 out of 5 stars meh, April 14, 2010

This review is from: Tumor Chapter 1 (Kindle Edition)
It's alright. not too special. the images are more like rough sketches. some lines were a little too repetitive. but i did find it amusing. it's not very long.

if your the kind of person that doesn't like randomly inserted flashbacks, then this will irk you; personally, i found it was an element that was pulled off pretty smoothly.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hello Zoom Function!, December 28, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tumor Chapter 1 (Kindle Edition)
This was the first comic I viewed on my new Kindle 2--I chose it because it was free. The comic is great. I was worried about it being formatted for the larger DX, but once I found out you could zoom in using the 5-way controller, it became quite comfortable to read.

More About the Author

Joshua Hale Fialkov is the creator (or co-creator, depending) of graphic novels, including the Harvey Nominated Elk's Run, the Harvey and Eisner nominated Tumor, Punks the Comic, and the Harvey Nominated Echoes.

He has written Alibi and Cyblade for Top Cow, Superman/Batman for DC Comics, Rampaging Wolverine for Marvel, and Friday the 13th for Wildstorm. He's writing the DC relaunch of I,Vampire, as well as debuting the new Marvel character The Monkey King. This fall sees the launch of The Last of the Greats from Image Comics with artist Brent Peeples.

He also served as a writer on the Emmy Award Nominated animated film Afro Samurai: Resurrection, and as Executive Producer of the cult hit LG15: The Resistance web series.

Elk's Run, Tumor, and Alibi are all currently in development as feature films. He has written comics for companies including Marvel, Wildstorm, IDW, Dark Horse, Image, Tor Books, Seven Seas Entertainment, Del Rey, Random House, Dabel Brothers Productions, and St. Martin's Press.

Joshua grew up in Pittsburgh, PA, went to college in Boston, where he got a BFA in writing and directing for the stage and screen, and then worked in the New England film industry, until finally deciding to move to Los Angeles to do it properly. He lives with his wife, Christina, daughter, Gable, and their cats, Smokey and the Bandit.
