review 1: Birthday TPB #1- Another one of Warren Ellis' great genre deconstructions. This time it's Golden Age serials like Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. After great adventure in the cosmos, Earth's space heroes bring intergalactic war into World War II. The world suffers greatly and then turns its back on space... leaving the world's last spaceport a crazy, lawless place. Unexpectedly gruesome art and great nods to westerns and a lot of old sci-fi.
review 2: Best part of this series is the typical Ellis dialogue--crass, laugh-out-loud irreverent. Other than that, it's a pretty regular Western story set in an era of space travel and energy weapons. Perfectly acceptable fare with which to kill some time on a summer afternoon. Only major drawback is the art. The colouring ... moreis well done, but the line art gives women rubbery and shapeless faces, as well as bizarrely placed buttocks and breasts. Very distracting (and not in a good way.) less
