Streets of Glory 6

November 16 08

Ennis fast forward through the finish. Blah action and disastrous epilogue material. A good end was too much to ask for.

Did Ennis really write the first two issues? This one has a great, almost half-issue conversation and a fantastic close.

It finally gets great–well, the writing anyway. Maybe Ennis padded a four issue series into a six. Hope he keeps it up.

The art is certainly no better–the cover’s a threat–but Ennis is finally conscious. It’s the first well-written issue.

Did someone tell Wolfer his endless profile panels are a good idea? At least Ennis’s writing is a bit better this issue.

I think he’s supposed to look like Clint Eastwood, but Wolfer’s art is the pits. Ennis is either bored or cash-strapped.

Delano nicely uses hallucinations and the future-speak to avoid needing a literal close. It’s a fine finish, if underwhelming.

The vanilla art doesn’t match the creepy content. Delano’s story is progressing well–but it is hard to see a full resolution.

Delano gets tons of content into his pages, enough to make up for the slightly generic art. Hope he has room to finish though.

If Delano let up at all and made the issue more understandable, it wouldn’t work. He doesn’t and it does. Off to a good start.

Garth Ennis doing zombies often fails. Who knows how he’ll do with post-apocalyptic zombies. But this prologue isn’t a good sign.
