Magellan
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008Its about superheroes. Read it.
I was tempted to leave my review of Magellan at that, but I feel it needs a little more explaining. In particular Magellan is mainly about trainee superheroes of Force Magellan, an international superhero organisation. The new group of interns has a selection of great set of characters, from the “normal” Kaycee Jones, to the almost overpowered Charisma. Alot of backstory has gone into these characters although Kaycee is regularly the main character. She deals with being a “normal” someone without superpowers in a superheroes world, the trauma of being a rescuee and the classes set for new recruits.
The art style is outstanding from the first page to the latest, reminding me of superhero comics that I once read. However there is two not-safe-for-work picture, but other than that the comic is safe (one in volume 1, one in volume 4). Overall however the story and art make the comic feel true to its origins without copying any particular superhero comic.
Its about superheroes. Read it.
