Oooo, I'm looking forward to this one. Hope it doesn't disappoint.
Buuuuuuuump.
Didn't get my comics today, but I'm interested in what people thought.
This was a big disappoint.
First, the problem I had that was Marvels fault and not the creators: 3.99 cover price for 22 pages of story. That's bullshit. At least it didn't have 28 pages of ads though (I counted before I bought it)
Ok, and now the problem that is the creators fault. There is just nothing here. I just read it not 2 minutes ago and already I have forgetten most of this story.
The premise is interesting. Fairies attack England while a giant kidnaps a cabinet members child, and Wisdoms task force is called on to invade a mythical land to kick fairy ass. Sounds great to me.
But the execution was terrible. It was just bad joke after bad joke, right down to 'hippie Merlin'. It was impossible for me to like the cast also.

Yeah, I am not thinking this is a great sales pitch. I think I am going to pick up GL instead.Originally Posted by Thudpucker

Well if one person didn't like it, it must suck.
make sure to tell me what you think about itYeah, I am not thinking this is a great sales pitch. I think I am going to pick up GL instead.
Not my cup of tea to begin with. Don't like weird british heroes and don't like fairies....Well if one person didn't like it, it must suck.
I haven't read any before and I usually don't like space crap. A few people made a case for it in the voting thread and I figure I might as well try it.
So you're not a fan of Paul Jenkin's Revelations?
