[quote]First off, let me tell you where I'm coming from with my reviews. This way you have something to base your reading of my reviews on.
I collect a gambit of comic genres; Marvel and DC mainstream stuff, Marvel's Icon, DC's Vertigo (my favorite overall), DC's Wildstorm, Image including Top Cow, IDW, Devil's Due, Zenescope, Dark Horse and several other Indys.
Here are examples of what I enjoy and think are really well done comics and would give high appraise: 'Y the Last Man, Walking Dead, 30 days of Night (first mini), Scalped, DMZ, Conan, Red Sonja, Mice Templar, Fell, Vinyl Underground, Captain America, Iron Fist, Ultimate Spider-Man, Amazing Spider-Man, Proof, Grimm Fairy Tales, Star Wars: Legacy, Witchblade, The Magdalena (my favorite character of all time), Pax Romana, Sojourn, Batman. There are more, but this should give you some idea of what I'm looking for in my comics.
One reviewer's opinion will not be the same as the next, thus I've provided you with the types of reading I like and enjoy. That is what I base my reviews on. If you read the above information and do not enjoy the same things as I, then my reviews will be garbage to you. So reviews, in my opinion are all relative to the reviewer's and the reader's taste.
Second, my reviews will be the culmination of stars between 1 and 5 (5 being the best) averaged over the subjects listed below.
Now, here we go...[/quote]
Title: Beyond Wonderland
Cover:
Worth the .99 cents all by itself with nothing else between the sheets! Smoking hot! As usual from Zenescope's products, very, very steamy and seductive. There are multiple covers for this issue, but the one above is my favorite. *****
Interior Art: Leister's interior art is inferior to Basaldua's cover art, but not by much imo. ****
Story dialogue: Not that much for a storyline here, but this is suppose to be a '0' (zero) issue I guess. And as such, it's what you'd expect. I didn't count, but just as many advertisements and Sinbad prelude pages as actual Beyond Wonderland pages. I did enjoy the little notebook format of a letter from Calie to whom I assume is her unborn child. ***
Letters and page Layout: *****
Emotions invoked: Desire, especially from the cover art. Anxious from the enterior dialogue and art. What a creative universe Gregory has created here. I love it. *****
Rate: 4.4/5
