I thought we had a thread for this. Brian Vaughan returns to comics and we don't have a thread for this?!
I am a little late to the party here. I usually read comics a couple weeks after they come out but this is one I wanted to make a point to read as soon as I could.
I. LOVED. IT.
It is so incredibly imaginative with it's characters and it's take on storytelling. I don't think I've ever seen a comic this varied and it's only the first issue. BKV keeps mentioning how it compares or how similar it is to Star Wars and it really does have that level of imagination but the story itself is not so..."normal".
Basically there is a galactic war. Our narrator was born during the galactic war to parents of warring species (or maybe they aren't at war themselves, but they don't get along). The story actually begins with a sort of graphic, sort of gratuitous childbirth scene (it reads like every other gratuitous graphic scene BKV has done) and soon after it happens the parents are found and have to escape. In the meantime there are various groups and people including freelance bounty hunters looking for them.
This might already be my favorite comic. You read so many comics and it gets to the point where sometimes it's hard to keep paying attention to "new" characters and stories...but this really does feel new and different.
I'm really impressed. I'm normally a tradewaiter but I think I'll go to the comic store and pick up this issue tomorrow.
