About book The Massive Volume 1: Black Pacific (2013)
The Sea Shepherd's Captain Paul Watkins inspires another comic book; fitting for a man himself inspired by Conan! (Was his first comic appearance in Grant Morrison's run on Animal Man? The issue with the dolphin kill?) Narratively, I was a little disappointed that a writer of Woods' caliber couldn't think of a way around the "info dump" so conventional in the post-apocalyptic genre. But the book's politics are good; more mature than the deliberately pulpy adolescence of Northlanders. I'll stay tuned, but it's going to be hard to unseat Y: The Last Man as the best post-apocalyptic of its generation. Review for volumes 1 and 2:I really wanted to love this. The setting is very interesting, and I loved DMZ from Brian Wood.The art is great for the first part, then it's all over the place, changing artist for each issue. The storytelling seems to be vague just for the sake of it, while the premise of the chase for a Ghost ship is a bit outlandish. I have no idea what actually happened on the oil platform, or why characters were behaving the way they were, based on which info, etc.The plot with the CD and the transponder barely progresses in 2 whole volumes. Disappointing.
