Dr. Solar #6
Just finished reading Dr. Solar #6. I really enjoyed the first story which is in ongoing continuity. However, the origin story... staggering. Shooter's new Dr. Solar origin he wrote for this line is shaping up to be perhaps the best comic book story I've ever read.

Agreed, it's a fine continuation of issue #5.
Normally, I couldn't care less about comic books being late, but as much as I've enjoyed Turok #2 & Dr. Solar #6, I'm mildly annoyed over the possibility (Or should I say fact?) that I might have to wait 2-4 months for another issue of either title.

Hopefully no more than two months.Savant wrote:StarBrand wrote:Just finished reading Dr. Solar #6. I really enjoyed the first story which is in ongoing continuity.

Quick read
Read them both last night. Very good. Struck by the realism in both SOLAR stories. Loved the realism in it. Brought out the best in the old Solar - the humanism. So much better than the beating up huge villains bits in 2-4. Dangit. I may be hooked again.

I am patiently waiting for the lead story to actually go somewhere, and be on a grander scope that what it is--things are moving soooooo slow. It's solid though--I am not disappointed, but waiting for it to get bigger. I guess my expectations are kind of high. Though, when I think of the Solar stories from Valiant, I immediately think of the Alpha and Omega story, and not the lead stories, so perhaps it will be the same in this case. That said...
The origin story is shaping up to be absolutely f'ing brilliant. I agree that it is potentially going to be one of the best comic stories I have ever read.
The art is great, too!
