After some mishaps thanks to UPS, I finally got my copy of Wildstorm’s Resident Evil #1. I’ll get right to it, kids. Kevin Sharpe’s artwork is vibrant and great to look at but it doesn’t seem to mesh well with Ricardo Sanchez’s rather quirky storyline that follows B.S.A.A. (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) agents Mina Gere and Holiday Sugarman in outer space. Spoooooky, right? Well, not so much in this comic book nerd’s honest opinion. This six-part series is meant to be a prequel to RE5, but the first issue doesn’t do much to lend evidence towards that. But I think I’ll stick it out and see what happens. Anyone else pick it up?
Jealousy!!! How can you publish this post without sharing a few pages?! >_<
I was at the WILDSTORM panel at wondercon. Writer was there and said this isn’t a prequel at all, just a story in the RE universe. New characters. I was disappointed but picked the book up anyway. I liked it. I am curious where it is going.
Ain’t it cool news has a preview of it according to the wildstorm twitter.
If you can get past it not being a prequel, worth reading.
Hmm. Well, on the Wildstorm site it says it’s a prequel but that might only apply to the second issue and not the first.
Weird. Look at issue 3 on wildstorm’s site. Back to the characters in issue 1.
Yeah. No clue what the deal is. I guess we’ll have to wait for the entire series to see what happens.
How come my cover looks different than everyone else’s?
