Multiversity Reviews Glory #23

6 Notes

Multiversity Comics has released their advance review of Glory #23 and the reception is, well, looking pretty damn good.

Here are some choice quotes from their 9.0 (out of 10!) rating:

All things considered, this first issue is quite a show of force from Joe Keatinge. As his first major issue of 2012, the book finds Keatinge clearly taking everything he learned during his time in comics and using it for good over evil. Abstaining from the atypical and leaning the book in a new direction, Keatinge’s revitalization of Glory is the exact kind of book you would hope to see from a relaunch; it’s the epitome of “new reader friendly” (an ideal oft sought yet a mark so frequently missed), both retelling Glory’s origin and recounting a few past adventures in quaint fashion, as Keatinge finds ways to familiarize leaders with the heroine without dragging the story down with bland soliloquy.

AND

Maintaining Quitely-esque figures and lush layouts throughout the title, Ross Campbell’s art mixes with Keatinge’s words for quite an enticing cocktail of a title. The two go great together, with Campbell more than bringing to life colossal demonic battles in unision with the quiet and more poignant scenes. With the cover alone, Campbell proves that he is a man unafraid to turn it up and bring the noise, and he certainly injects the warrior straight into the veins of the book.

AND

If this and Prophet are any indication of what Image’s Extreme relaunch will be, things are looking to be quite a banner year for Image Comics — and if this one issue of Glory is any indication of what to expect from Joe Keatinge throughout the year, then look no further for your new favorite Image writer.
