Hickman can do no wrong - this has been a great mini with subtle humor to mix up the unique story telling style
Posted by BrikHed on 08/12/08 at 08:55 AMHickman can do no wrong, except for getting his previous books out. Where's Pax Romana #3?
Posted by TomO on 08/12/08 at 09:18 AMI'm cool with waiting if the delay generates quality. Which in Hickman's case, it does.
Posted by JumpingJupiter on 08/12/08 at 02:33 PMI'm generally cool with waiting too, but it seems like every week there's a new Hickman book out that's not Pax Romana.
But hey, when they're as good as they've have been...I guess I could have worse problems...
Posted by TomO on 08/12/08 at 04:21 PMI like this, or maybe I just want to like it so much that I think I like it, but I'm kind of concerned that it isn't quite as alive or funny as it made itself out to be.
Posted by goat77 on 08/12/08 at 07:16 PMI just reread the first two issues and they are much funnier a second time through. Can't wait to pick up the third. And to the person asking about Pax, I think he said that's coming next. It's already at the presses. Check out his messageboard for more info from him about when stuffs coming out.
Posted by Magitek85 on 08/12/08 at 10:30 PMThis is getting funkier each issue! It's but accessible. It's outlandish but believable. And actually educational! I love this book!
Posted by JumpingJupiter on 08/13/08 at 08:35 PMI think this could end up being a great book for getting people into comics, much like The Nightly News. Hickman is great, and the artist on this book is doing a good job as well. Many thanks to Image for putting this stuff out.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 08/14/08 at 09:47 AMI was more holding onto this book because of Hickmans previous works but this issue was the big payoff. It really started bringing everything together to set up for a last issue and it was hilarious throughout. I can't wait to see how this ends now.
Posted by Magitek85 on 08/14/08 at 10:34 AMDiamond shorted my LCS and no book this week.
With regards to the prior question on Pax. Hickman has made it clear the other books get priority because they are shared ownership and he doesn't want to screw over Bode or JM due to his lateness. Pax is all on him and he only hurts himself (and those of us waiting for it)
Posted by BrikHed on 08/14/08 at 01:48 PMI was disappointed by one thing only. Hickman's patented two page graphic design porn spreads.
@sunnyvale: I'm a new reader. Hickman's books didn't get me into comics but it's his work that got me seriously hooked. Mostly because his design work gives me an erection.
@BrikHed - I didn't know that's why Pax was late, but that's certainly an excellent reason. I like and respect Hickman even more now.
@JumpingJupiter - Good to hear.
Posted by SunnyvaleTrash on 08/15/08 at 09:55 AMI just want more red mass for mars.
Maybe it's because i'm not that into graphic design, but i wasn't that into nightly news and while i enjoy pax romana quite a bit. I gotta admit that his work with other artists is really what's floating my boat and getting me excited about hickman. It's a lot like how i feel about brian wood actually.
Posted by mulletpeep on 08/17/08 at 11:30 PMRed Mass also gives me a graphic design erection.

Very much looking forward to this! I love Hickman's graphic design sensibilities and fresh storytelling.
