review 1: The art is pretty and the beginning is promising and suddenly the guy just flips out. There is no gradual change or explanation... There is nothing that makes him attack his family like he does. Yes, the idea is a valid one: somebody with god powers would feel superior and probably would lose compassion for humanity, but the change is too sudden and feels forced. It is like the writer had an idea he wanted to say and didn't care too much about the characters. I think is a poor attempt to make a gritty dark comic book following Alan Moore and Frank Miller. But dark for dark doesn't make sense. The attack on his brother and wife is vicious but doesn’t follow the pattern of later attacks where he seems just to think that humans are just like ants and kills them because they... more are annoying and unimportant. But the first attack is different his brother survives and he rapes the wife, that is not you are ants, that is cruelty more specific to a different type of criminal. It is a behavior that just is there for this action, after he becames a Oh God I am who kills people but doesn’t main them and doesn’t rape. The first attack seems to be there just for being shocking and gritty. Look he has become crazy. Why? I don't know , but now he is crazy and attacks people, let the story continue. Now he kills everybody even if in the first attack he let his brother alive, and with his powers it had to be more difficult to let his brother alive than kill him, and he raped the wife. Why? because he is evil and this is a gritty comic book. I don't mind a pessimist story but the characters have to feel real. Here the main character just becomes crazy overnight and attacks his family for some reason.I like the best friend which is why I put two stars, he feel real. In resume: Good idea , awful execution.
review 2: What would you do if you came to power all of a sudden, unbelievable power that would enable you to do good things? Or what you thought for good things. And what would happen if at some point you didn't feel understood anymore, with a growing distance between you and the rest of mankind? Knowing that you could do whatever you wanted to, or at least thinking you could do whatever you wanted to without any consequences? "A God Somewhere" tells exactly this story in a very impressive way that's worth checking out... less
