Blue Collar #2
Well, any ambivalence I had about this guy has vanished after this issue. The bulk of the book is the Negotiator storyline, and while I’m still not sure where it’s ending up, it’s looking like the ride is going to be fascinating. Before that you had a wonderful “what if” kind of conversation about what would have happened in the Lord of the Rings world if the wraiths had found the ring before Frodo had even gotten started and how Orc society might have developed. Also in here is a short story about leaving the art room a mess and making excuses for it (the weakest of the bunch, mostly because it went nowhere, but still not bad), the sample and a different interpretation of The Scream by Munch. Good stuff all around, there’s some real potential here and I’m really curious to see where this whole Negotiators thing is going. $3 is maybe a buck too much for your standard black and white mini, but it’s a minor quibble. Contact info is up there!
