I picked up the second issue yesterday at the comic store. It keeps getting better. I do have a couple of issues with character designs of a couple of the characters looking too much like Phonogram ...

I posted a review of the first issue over on my blog. I like the second one even more. I don't want to give away too much though. :)

Who else is reading this and what do you think?]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=194&Focus=5335#Comment_5335 2007-12-06T11:24:28-08:00 2013-05-22T02:56:19-07:00 Cat Vincent http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=447

It's fun - but not as much as Phonogram. Not yet, anyway. Certainly keen to read it all.

I actually like it a bit better than Phonogram so far. All in all, the characters are a bit nicer. Not that that is a determiner of "good" in a story to me, I just care about the characters ...

If you liked the cover designs, they're available as prints. Go here and buy them before Jamie is forced to start eating his pencils in order to survive.

I believe you'll find that's the worst kind of emo for something to be ;)
Also, as with most genres, it's a fairly loose term, so people can use it in different ways without necessarily being wrong (and technically, it is a noun).

Anyway, this is veering unpleasantly off topic. Back to the comic - it seemed fun, and the artwork was, of course, fantastic. Hopefully the shop'll have issue two in next week so's I can find out where things are going!]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=194&Focus=5508#Comment_5508 2007-12-06T16:04:58-08:00 2007-12-06T16:05:32-08:00 joe.distort http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1173

Not as interesting as Phonogram for me yet, but mostly because Phonogram took everything I thought/experienced during the 90's and made a comic out of it. Still, I like where McKelvie's going.

Phonogram; I may not be a big fan of Kieron Gillen, but he knows how to write, the bastard, and he did something particularly creative with a musical genre gone stale.

Just popping in to say thanks to everyone for trying out the book, whether you liked it or not.

I don't for one minute think that Astrid and Dave are "emo". When the popular kids at the party call them "fucking emos", it is a catch-all insult for kids who look a bit different to them. When I was that age, "goth" was what they called anyone who dressed goth, punk, whatever. It's kind of missing the point of the scene to think that it's an accurate term for the characters.

If you didn't grow up in a small town in the middle of nowhere, with no real excitement or scene were you felt you belonged, then you probably won't understand why Aubrey's shop was so exciting to the kids.

Anyway, once again, thanks everyone for picking up the book. Hopefully the story will keep you interested through 3 and 4. Remember Aubrey's speech in issue 2 reflects the status quo from several hundred years ago, so you've not got the whole story of the supernatural side of things.

By the way, I've just checked and there are a few issue 2s left at Diamond, so you can get your store to order one in for you.]]> http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=194&Focus=8888#Comment_8888 2007-12-19T13:24:42-08:00 2013-05-22T02:56:19-07:00 joe.distort http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=1173

The plot is, mmmm... not so good.

BUT! The writing IS very good. The dialogue and the characters are fabulous, and no-one seems to have mentioned this so far - but comedic timing is REALLY hard to do well in comic books and Jamie really nails it a couple of times in both issues. For me that was probably the most impressive thing.

So basically I'd have been happier with Jamie just writing and drawing a soap opera about suburban kids hanging out and doing nothing.

And Emo? Oh, holy balls can we just put that term away in the Idiot Box where it belongs? There is nothing at all Emo about this comic, the term is used with such machine-gun indiscriminacy it's nigh on meaningless anyway, and has been since it first reached any kind of popular use.

Jamie's lobbed a six page preview here.

(Since I'm passing I'm always surprised by the "I hate how they were excited about seeing a clothes shop open in their nowhere town". I dare say that empathy should be able to transfer it to their own interests. If - say - you're a teenage comic geek, living in a nowhere town, how excited would you be to see a comic shop open? I'd have been equally excited to have ANY shop open in the shithole town I was from.)

SG is the first book he has written and as such find that in itself an amazing feat. Whether or not you dig his plot, the characterization and the dialogue is fantastic. Plus, in case you didn't notice, he can draw as well.(as in like a MF'er)

I read Phonogram, and between that and this, he's two for two in my book.

It is a rare thing where I will try everything a creator puts out after only reading one or two projects, especially since one of them isn't even finished yet, but I'd try anything he does. (Of course he is going to test me on that X-MEN thing he's doing. lol)

I guess what I'm saying is I cannot imagine anyone looking at Jamie's stuff and not falling for it like Natalie Portman.

It's not intended to be a heavy-going book. To be honest I was a little worried that everyone would expect Phonogram part 2 from it, whereas it's just supposed to be a good, fun story.

In my box, and should be brought home today, if the husband wishes to remain breathing.

Ooooo.... so glad I am passing through Nottingham on Saturday so I'll be able to get my comics. Anna Mercury #1 is waiting for me there too. This is going to be a good few weeks comics to read. ...

This is going to be a good few weeks comics to read. I've hardly read any that have came out in the last couple of months yet due to being hideously busy but for this, Doktor Sleepless #4 and Anna Mercury #1 I shall make an exception and read as soon as I'm home.

I'm a bit annoyed I can't make it until Saturday really. I need to move to Nottingham. Then I can get my comics every Thursday.]]>
