Summary: A Death Fast
Review: This is some of the worst narrative I have ever read. Sadly, to compound the issue, the narrative is not crucial to the story. It could have been easily omitted. Comics have the luxury of not needing any real narrative. That's why there are pictures. The art in this book is beautiful but could not save the overall story from ruin. It reads more like a silly crossover than a legitimate myth. If you are looking for something along these lines that is well concieved, try Hellboy by Mike Mignola or Promethea by Alan Moore. Moore's use of narrative adds to the overall story instead of detracting from it as Brin's does. For 30 bucks you'd be better off filling up your gas tank and buying a warm meal.
