Wednesday Comics #1 (OF 12)

Review by akamuu:

Price: $3.99

If you enjoyed reading three panel installments of Amazing Spideman in the newspaper, then this is the comic for you.

While it's interesting to see fantastic authors and artists cramming stories into one page spreads, it's not...good. There's a reason comic book characters are in monthly 20 + page formats.

Also, the newsprint totally comes off on your hands.

Story: 1 - Poor Art: 5 - Excellent

I'm giving it a shot. I doubt that I'll get sucked in though.

The cover would be sweet on comic paper, but on newprint? Ehh.

Sounds like you should just wait for the collection akamuu.

I totally agree completely with the review. Its an interesting experiment, but just not enough story. And HATE the newsprint !!!!!!

@Rolando: Having read only this first issue, I have no interest in a collection of these. Yes, the art is very pretty, but the stories have no choice but to be awful. Weekly one page stories are a terrible format for comics. I have the utmost respect for any author who can pull off a successful story through this medium. The authors involved in this project are all very talented, in my opinion. But they're all long form writers whose style doesn't work in this partiular format. I have serious doubts that putting all the pages back to back is going to make it a better read.
