review 1: A collection of monsters and baddies that all look hewn from rock. Mohawks, faceless babes, action lines, EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! and ellipsis... I do not know, or apparently appreciate, comic book history enough to enjoy this collection from Kirby. Surely, there exist scores of examples of how this was visionary or innovative. Problem is, from an enjoyment standpoint, it doesn't hold up. The text is wildly repetitious, repetitious, repetizzz zzz... and I gave up trying to finish this 4/5th of the way.Could definitely benefited from some sort of annotation, or interspersed analysis. But then, it wouldn't be a comic book as much as literary criticism. I think I'd have preferred to read THAT book.Book itself is well put together and produced. Not extremely glossy or "deluxe" b... moreut more than adequate for a collection.
review 2: Non certo l'opera migliore di Kirby, questo scenario post apocalittico distopico in cui l'unica cosa che regna sovrana è la disperazione. Per certi versi è un'opera molto più "disperata" di Kamandi, perché da un senso di legame alla nostra realtà decisamente maggiore, con le vite degli umani comuni ridotte a mero oggetto per i ricchi e potenti.Ma il Re non riuscì a portarla avanti, e nemmeno a renderla particolarmente interessante. less
