The Veil #1

I usually don’t review books that were done 6 years ago, but I did get this at the last convention I went to, so I’m kind of hoping that he’s still doing comics and that his contact info is still current. Anyway, I think this is one of those cases where you can judge a book by its cover. The story has “goth” written all over it, which can be a good thing or a bad thing in my experience. The art here was incredible. I really liked how everything was full. Busy panels all over the place are NEVER a bad thing in my mind. The problem was that there were three stories in here, all of which were pretty melodramatic and silly. It reads just like a first attempt at a comic, but luckily it was done so long ago that it probably is a first attempt at a comic and I’m sure his stuff has gotten better since then. For $2.50 there’s really not much here, unless you just want to look at the pictures. Still, he could have some serious talent, so write to him to see what else he’s been up to: P.O.
