I pretty much never read superhero comics, but Glory caught my eye. It's only a twelve issue series, and the last one just came out so, yeah.
That gets my attention. And not in an Amazon fetish way. I pretty much never see the cover of a superhero comic and think "Whoa! That's new." And hey, it turned out to be a pretty great series, with memorable characters, a good yarn moving it along, lots of surprisingly quiet and touching character moments, and a huge angry lady cutting monsters into tiny bits and literally biting someone's face off once in a while. So... pretty much everything I like.
Which stands in perfectly, hilariously stark contrast against the original character it's reimagining here.
Yeah. Liefeld. No, really. Fucking seriously here. You can't make this shit up. I'm holding this
next to this
... and my brain just keeps shorting out. I mean...
Though it a way it seems fitting that the best thing Liefeld has ever done in his career has been giving his go-ahead to redo one of his characters as essentially its perfect anti-particle.
Anyway, it's a good read. The absolute meanest thing I can say is that there are a few places where the dialogue is a little awkward, and one point where they do that "horde/hoard" mixup thing which happens to make me fucking nuts (it comes up pretty much constantly in game writing, and fucking
nobody seems capable of getting it right.)
Hell, I could probably drop this into that old "let's yell at each other about misogyny" topic, but... yeah, let's not. It only ends up making me wish I could educate people I otherwise like by punching them a lot.
