Pierce, John – Blackout #1

Blackout #1

This is exactly what my day needed: a good, solid mini. Nothing spectacular, but just good all the way through. The art reminds me a lot of Scott Mills (I’m sure he gets that a lot) but the tone of his stories is different. A world all his own, I guess. There’s a few short pieces in this and it’s over, but it left me wanting more. The mark of a good comic. As for what it’s about, I’m not going to tell you. It’s only $1, go to his website and get one. Go ahead, try a new comic, it’s worth it. Or send him an e-mail, or just go ahead and mail him a buck at 6673 Enchanted Valley Drive  Reno, NV 89523. There are a few nits I have to pick, but they’re minor. He should pay closer attention to the production value. The words slip off the page a little here and there and it looks kind of dirty. Also, some kind of intro about the diary comic would have been nice, but those are two minor things. Mostly good work.
