In one of those 'cosmic comic karma' events, I actually bought the first 2 issues of this title out of the bargain bin about 6 weeks ago. As you say, the Mantlo/Guice team (and that cover) are a nice pull.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I felt exactly like you did about the OGN trying to read them. SOOOOOOO wordy! It felt a bit like a chore for me to get through and I was starting the book without knowing any of the OGN story.
Shame, because when you can see his art, this is Guice at the top of his game.
Anyways, if you want wooden space ships, read Chaykin's Ironwolf!
