Chiaroscuro #3<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I wasn’t sure where he was going before, I have even less of an idea now. Granted, I missed the second issue somehow, but both of the ones I’ve read have been fairly self contained, so it hasn’t made that much of a difference. This one is a “morning after” issue with Steven having an awkward conversation with a random female that he apparently picked up the night before. A lot of people would probably give up on a book after three issues these days if they didn’t see some kind of immediate payoff, and I feel sorry for those people. I’ve liked a lot of what he’s had to say in the bits that I’ve seen, what’s to make me think that I won’t like where the whole giant (30-50 issues, he says) story is headed? The art is incredible, the dialogue is authentic, and the fact that I already missed an issue tells me that he’s keeping a solid schedule. The only word of caution I have for him (assuming that he ever reads this) is to stay focused. I saw an ad in the back of #3 for a new series from him, and that’s really the sort of thing that should wait until he makes a name for himself, or this story might just fall apart. I’m sure he knows what he’s doing, but if Chiaroscuro goes to being published twice a year or something because of his new book, he might never get a solid audience. Anyway, count me in for the long haul. I had a good feeling about this right away and didn’t see anything here to change my mind. $2.75, contact info above.<\/p>\n
