review 1: From the foreward we learn that George R. Martin was greenlighted to create a television pilot and series based upon this story, and that he spent about a year on this project, only to see it cancelled through the combination of timing and staff changes at the network. So it has the elements of a television series. We meet the characters -- a human-looking character on the run. check. bounty hunters chasing her. check. the stand-in for the target reader. check. A scenario where each episode they stumble into an alternate universe -- in this volume we designed small microbiotic organisms to clean up oil spills in the ocean except, oops, they ran amok and ended up destroying all of the oil (and plastic) in the world, and thus logically returning us to the mythological O... moreld West. Run around in this new world and then *bam* here come the bounty hunter chase scene where they *almost* catch them this time before they escape into a new doorway. End episode. However, I looked high and I looked low but I couldn't find any character development or insights about the human condition. It's like they ran out of space, had to cut something, and that's what they chose. So it could be better. Later. Maybe.
review 2: Not knowing much about George R R Martin or being a comic reader, I didn't know what to expect from this first installment of the Doorways graphic novel. I was pleasantly surprised.Firstly, the artwork is excellent. The flow of the comic is great.I do like a good sci-fi story and this didn't disappoint. In fact, I am very interested to get myself a copy of the other installments now.I love a good strong female sci-fi character and Cat certainly fit the part. The bad guys looked really bad - the weapons looked scary, and altogether it was fabulous. less
