Ilustration During Books Longshot (Marvel Premiere Classic #14)

This story may appear dated because of the art with the backgrounds, the costume design and the lead has a mullet. The art is unabashedly Eighties, but the issues it commented on, like how energy companies spend millions only to squeeze their customers in their bills, right wing survivalists, and how entertainment media exploits the innocent and unwary and capture the purses of their audience seems timely today. These issues never died, they lie low and come back when it is a slow news day. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

Though there is much social commentary in Ann Nocenti’s script, it is chock-full of superhero action. It is not the story that carries this book, but the work of two talented artists who made their debut here. Both Art Adams and Whilce Portacio skill grow here as the character Longshot developed from an amnesiac with superhuman luck to a rebel messiah seeking to free his people. Issue by issue, Adams emerges with his own artistic voice. He has an animated and detailed style that makes this comic stand from its contemporaries. Even Portacio grows in skill enough to give justice to Adam’s line while giving it a signature lushness that will be his signature as he graduates to full pencils. It is said that Portacio was given this assignment in order for him to learn his storytelling chops. That is a good way to learn as Adams’ skill in storytelling is particularly strong and I manage to follow each panel in the right sequence.

Adams’ art is the best reason to buy this book. He is notorious for not having extensive runs on a monthly title since his detail extensive work makes keeping a regular schedule impossible. I only wish this was done with an oversized trim with larger pages so to enjoy the art better.

Weigh Up Of Books Longshot (Marvel Premiere Classic #14)

Its crazy to think of such a prominent and popular Marvel character coming from such humble origins, but they all started somewhere. Its a bit of a slog to get through, but theres a lot of cool little first appearances and ideas running around here.

This comic is pretty...comical? I mean I didn't take it too seriously and I hope the author didn't either cause there was nothing fantastical about it and there really wasn't anything too awful about it. The characters were pretty bland. There was a few crossover scenes which I detest, but they weren't too bad. It just really wasn't my cup of tea. The antagonist of the story really felt evil just so he could be evil like there was nothing really there for me. Gog was much more a villian and I

great, i like mojo and Gog. It puts weird thought bubbles in weird places but great overall.

Ann Nocenti should be shot. The dialogue is incomprehensible, and the early Art Adams art is closer to something that influenced Rob Liefeld than the gorgeous stuff he is famous for in modern times. (Admission: I only made it halfway through the first issue before deciding I would rather stare at the ceiling than continue reading.)

Was pleasantly surprised with this, I have a soft spot for the art work of this time but the story and script was far more mature than I expected and enjoyed it more for it.

Hahaha, oh my gosh, this book you guys. THIS BOOK. I can't even... how do I describe my experiences reading this? How do I sum up my thoughts upon finishing it? It's so all over the place. It's glorious and ridiculous, nonsense-filled and scattered with *incredibly interesting* ideas. It's got amazing bad guys and some boring ones, it's got guest stars who make it work and some who're clearly just there to sell an issue. It's wrapped up in the somewhat creepy attraction almost every female in
