Return of the over-used muse.

04Mar08

Like everyone else I thought it would never happen. But now every fan is telling the same story about that ten year gap; about their disappointment and eventual acceptance that the greatest underground, indy comic would never be complete and how excited that they are now holding issue #21 in their grubby little paws.

Of course I stand with them. This was some great stuff when I was in high school. It had a great influence on my craft as a writer and changed the way I though about comics. While not quiet as good (or perhaps “raw”) as issues #1-15, Rob Schrab has made great strides back in the right direction over the mostly sloppy #16-20. With #21 we are pretty much right back on track.

I’m glad I decided not to go back and reread the previous books. Rob Schrab has decided to start the comic by adding the ten year hiatus to the storyline.  Scud has been sent back to Earth where he was stuck in a standby mode. A quick recap is done just before a familiar face wakes him up. Jumping back into it as fresh as Scud was was a great feeling.

With #21 out there are now three more issues to go before Rob Schrab concludes the comic proper.  Should be excellent.
