Between Batman, X-Men and the Spider-Man cartoons I was hooked like many other children my age.Īs a kid the easiest comics to get ahold of were all the terrible Young Blood type comics.
Darkstar one troubleshooting series#
I always wanted the intro of the 1960’s Batman to just be the show, old reruns of Super Friends alleviated this want until Batman The Animated Series came into my life.

One of my earliest comic memories was trying to draw a Ben Riley Spider-Man right around kindergarten. The Green Lantern mythos is nothing new to Van Sciver, which makes his misinterpreted look of the Sciencells that much more egregious, having drawn them in volumes prior. Many scenes have the characters just floating around in an ominous haze while panels prior will display a more detailed scene. Many of what should be grandiose scenes are undercut by Van Sciver’s excessive use of shadows and all around lack of detail. As always, EVS does an amazing job with his character detail, bringing the signature look to each Lantern he is known for, but it is his lack of detail in the backgrounds and corner cutting that hurt this issue in a more profound way. What should have been a big reveal of Darkstar One’s arrival was undercut by Hal Jordan’s silhouette taking up the majority of the page as it's covered in shadow while Darkstar One is relegated off to the side. From the use of smaller panels which leave a larger amount blank space on the page borders, the use of larger images to cover more of the page, the lack of detail on backgrounds and use of shadows to abscond from detail all hurt this issue.

Unfortunately this issue really suffers from what seems to be rushed pencils on Ethan's part.
