"I'm the thing that's left when the soul is gone.",
By Sam Thursday (APO, AE United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WildC.A.T.S: Gang War (Paperback)
Moore spent most of the nineties in hibernation, writing titles that had been pulled in too many different directions and streamlining them. WildC.A.T.S is one of the better examples, as is the ingenious Supreme. Moore (and James Robinson, earlier in the series) takes the characters from being cheap X-Men knock-offs to having personalities and agendas of their own, and makes previously boring heroes like Spartan fascinating. That's not to say that this is a flawless book, by any means. Moore's writing seems rushed, at times, and his usual inventiveness is undercut by silly cross-overs, fist-fights peppered with one-liners (albeit good ones), and some frankly terrible ideas from the first year of the book that he has to do somersaults to avoid, occasionally leaving a plot hole behind. Still, he manages to hit his stride by the end of the book, and the finale is genuinely moving, interesting, and scary. The books' chief villain comes out of left field so smoothly that you wonder why you never saw him coming, and Moore is obviously attached to some of the wackier characters like Majestic and Ladytron. The only other caveat I feel I should offer is that the book's artwork is fatally uneven. Wildstorm puts Travis Charest in every issue they can, but his artwork is lazy at times (xeroxed panels, sillhouettes, no backgrounds), and the fill-in artists look like, well, fill-in artists. That said, some of Charest's work is genuinely beautiful, and certainly worth looking at. Overall, a solid book with a few flaws that is still very much worth the reading. Note: This is a companion set with WildC.A.T.S: Homecoming, and is the second book in the series.

How a minor Alan Moore work can still be one of the best superhero comics around,
By Adriano1977 (Langen (Hessen), Deutschland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: WildC.A.T.S: Gang War (Paperback)
Even though this is obviously not one gf Moore's finest, you can rest assured that, if such writing were to be featured regularly in mainstream US superhero comics, nobody would complain for their near-monopoly of the US comics market. Moore even manages to make two chapters of a company-wide crossover Wildstorm was having at a time work perfectly both as crossover chapters and as issues of his Gang War storyline in WildC.A.T.s.
O verall a nice read, with some great artwork from Travis Charest and Dave Johnson and some average-to-poor artwork from then Wildstorm alumni Ryan Benjamin, Aron Wiesenfeld and Mat Broome. The latter three eventually bloomed into very fine artists (kudos to Jim Lee for spotting talent so early on), but one of the limits of Moore's work for Wildstorm and for Liefield's studio(s) actually was theplethora of rookie artists illustrating his scripts. Well, that and the hard task of dignifing Jim Lee's and Rob Liefield's somewhat flat early Image creations. Grade:B
