From Newsarama.Com

Magnus Robot Fighter Vol. 1 1,300

Wonder why there's a discrepency.

I returned to church after my accident (finally I can drive after 4 months) and a friend, also LCS owner dropped the ibook into my hands- "Here I got something for you". He knew I was a Valiant fan and gave me the copy "on the house". I didn't read it yet but will soon. :thumb:
It's Solar... Don't call him Dr. Phil!

Now that's a good LCS owner, it's just too bad the book is not anything to write home about.

I picked this up a week ago and let me just say I need the emoticon for vomit. This book was unreadable. I think a got 6 or 7 pages in before I quit and I read the whole Turok Evolution book so it takes a lot for me to quit on a comic.

Bad writing bad art bad coloring. I want my money back.

Thanks Ibooks for soiling the good name of Magnus. *SQUEE*.

I finally read it this week and concur with prior comments. The story was rushed and uneven -- a poor effort by Louise S. The art was bearable but tough to follow in places.

Now I know some of you hate all things Acclaim, but in comparison they were masterpieces!

Comics Buyer's guide #1614 also did a review of it. Gave it two stars.

That's two too many.
