On 11th September, 2001, while Alister White was working in the New
York World Trade Centre he witnessed what many Americans saw as the fall
of the modern world. Donning the Pantz (Panther) costume, White goes
about trying to rescue survivors: risking his life to save those of
strangers.
This is the prologue book and, when I initially opened it I just thought “this does not look very good.” I started back to working on the latest issue of Adventure and by yesterday I was ready to start reviewing again. So I picked up Pantz and wondered how I could give it a “goodish” review. I went through the book once, then twice and then a third time and I’m glad I did not review it upon receipt because it is good.
The art style was a little so-so for the first two pages and then –WHAM! The story is simple enough and there are no huge swathes of dialogue so even as a very poor reader of French I had no problems. This could develop into a good series. The art by Fed M grows on you quickly and the superb colour work adds more impact and is really cool.
Sorry, I almost sounded fan-boyish then.
There are some nice sketches included and I’ll be adding Fed Ms blog link to the blog roll later. Really glad that I took the chance and purchased (yes, purchased) this.
